Subject: [PATCH] mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function

From: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]>

This function basically does:

remove_from_page_cache(old);
page_cache_release(old);
add_to_page_cache_locked(new);

Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the
"add" to fail because of a race.

This is used by fuse to move pages into the page cache.

Hmm, then, the page will be recharged to "current" instead of the memcg
where "old" was under control. Is this design ? If so, why ?

In mm/migrate.c, following is called.

charge = mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(page, newpage, &mem);
....do migration....
if (!charge)
mem_cgroup_end_migration(mem, page, newpage);

BTW, off topic, in fuse/dev.c

add_to_page_cache_locked(page)

is called and this page is "charged" to memory cgroup. But, IIUC, this page
will be never be on LRU and cannot be reclaimed by memory cgroup.
I think this looks like a memory leak at rmdir() of memory cgroup and
rmdir will fail wish -EBUSY always.

So, I'd like to change this call something like as

add_to_page_cache_locked_and_no_memory_cgroup_control().

So, I think just dropping this memory cgroup related code is okay for us
because this is a replacement for add_to_page_cache_locked() which seems
problematic.
This will put pages on fuse's private radix-tree out of control.

Or, is it possible to drain these radix-tree pages at rmdir() of memory
cgroup by some call ?

Thanks,
-Kame

That's the page cache reference we release. Just like we acquire the
page cache reference for "new" above.

I suspect it's historic that page_cache_release() doesn't drop the
page cache ref.

Thanks for the review.

No, I just haven't thought about it.

Porbably charging "new" to where "old" was charged is the logical
thing to do here.

This is the call which the above patch replaces with
replace_page_cache_page(). So if I fix replace_page_cache_page() to
charge "newpage" to the correct memory cgroup, that should solve all
problems, no?

Thanks for the review.

I mean current page cache handling semantic and page reference counting semantic
is separeated. For example, remove_from_page_cache doesn't drop the reference of page.
That's because we need more works after drop the page from page cache.
Look at shmem_writepage, truncate_complete_page.

You makes the general API and caller might need works before the old page
is free. So how about this?

err = replace_page_cache_page(oldpage, newpage, GFP_KERNEL);
if (err) {
...
}

page_cache_release(oldpage); /* drop ref of page cache */

No. memory cgroup expects all pages should be found on LRU. But, IIUC,
pages on this radix-tree will not be on LRU. So, memory cgroup can't find
it at destroying cgroup and can't reduce "usage" of resource to be 0.
This makes rmdir() returns -EBUSY.

I'm sorry if this page will be on LRU, somewhere.

I disagree with you there: I like the way Miklos made it symmetric,
I like the way delete_from_swap_cache drops the swap cache reference,
I dislike the way remove_from_page_cache does not - I did once try to
change that, but did a bad job, messed up reiserfs or reiser4 I forget
which, retreated in shame.

In both the examples you give, shmem_writepage and truncate_complete_page,
the caller has to be holding their own reference, in part because they
locked the page, and will need to unlock it before releasing their ref.
I think that would be true of any replace_page_cache_page caller.

Me neither: I believe Miklos meant __remove_from_page_cache() rather
than page_cache_release() in that instance.

I agree symmetric is good. I just said current fact which is that
remove_from_page_cache doesn't release ref.
So I thought we have to match current semantic to protect confusing.
Okay. I will not oppose current semantics.
Instead of it, please add it (ex, caller should hold the page
reference) in function description.

I am happy to hear that you tried it.
Although it is hard, I think it's very valuable thing.
Could you give me hint to googling your effort and why it is failed?

Thanks.

Now we have only 3 callers of remove_from_page_cache in mmtom.

1. truncate_huge_page
2. shmem_writepage
3. truncate_complete_page
4. fuse_try_move_page

It seems all of caller hold the page reference so It's ok to change
the semantic of remove_from_page_cache.
Okay. I will do that.

Oh, right. Yes, the page will be on the LRU (it needs to be,
otherwise the VM coulnd't reclaim it). After the
add_to_page_cache_locked is this:

if (!(buf->flags & PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU))
lru_cache_add_file(newpage);

It will add the page to the LRU, unless it's already on it.
