Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm: memcg: remote memcg charging for kmem allocations
Date:   Mon, 18 Jun 2018 22:13:25 -0700
Message-Id: <20180619051327.149716-2-shakeelb@google.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180619051327.149716-1-shakeelb@google.com>

Precedence: bulk

Introduce the memcg variant for kmalloc[_node] and
kmem_cache_alloc[_node]. For kmem_cache_alloc, the kernel switches the
root kmem cache with the memcg specific kmem cache for __GFP_ACCOUNT
allocations to charge those allocations to the memcg. However, the memcg
to charge is extracted from the current task_struct. This patch
introduces the variant of kmem cache allocation functions where the memcg
can be provided explicitly by the caller instead of deducing the memcg
from the current task.

The kmalloc allocations are underlying served using the kmem caches unless
the size of the allocation request is larger than KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
in which case, the kmem caches are bypassed and the request is routed
directly to page allocator. So, for __GFP_ACCOUNT kmalloc allocations,
the memcg of current task is charged. This patch introduces memcg variant
of kmalloc functions to allow callers to provide memcg for charging.

These functions are useful for use-cases where the allocations should be
charged to the memcg different from the memcg of the caller. One such
concrete use-case is the allocations for fsnotify event objects where the
objects should be charged to the listener instead of the producer.

One requirement to call these functions is that the caller must have the
reference to the memcg provided to these functions. If reference
acquition on the given memcg is failed (it can fail if memcg is offline)
then the current's memcg is tried. These functions implicitly assumes
that the caller wants a __GFP_ACCOUNT allocation.

This patch also introduces scope API for targeted memcg charging. All
the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations between memalloc_memcg_save(target_memcg)
and memalloc_memcg_restore(old_memcg) will be charged to target_memcg.

Traditionally kmem charging is skipped for allocations by kthreads and
allocations during interrupts. The reason is that the current's memcg
might not be the right owner for such allocations. However targeted
memcg charging does not have such limitation and can work even for
allocations by kthreads and for allocations during interrupts. For now
due to lack of actual use-case, targeted memcg charging for such
allocations is not added. Though this might change in future.

Changelog sinve v5:
- Added more explanation in commit message.
- Added handling of NULL memcg for targeted memcg allocation functions.

Changelog since v4:
- Removed branch from hot path of memory charging.

Changelog since v3:
- Added node variant of directed kmem allocation functions.

Changelog since v2:
- Merge the kmalloc_memcg patch into this patch.
- Instead of plumbing memcg throughout, use field in task_struct to pass
  the target_memcg.

Changelog since v1:
- Fixed build for SLOB
