Jeff Layton 26f5d7609f list_lru: don't call list_lru_from_kmem if the list_head is empty 
If the list_head is empty then we'll have called list_lru_from_kmem for
nothing.  Move that call inside of the list_empty if block.

Vladimir Davydov 2788cf0c40 memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline 
Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which
uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists.  However, it can
be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline
cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to
the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's
list to the one of its parent.  It will work, because a racing
list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element
from.  It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing
reparenting will fix it.  After list_lru reparenting is done we are free
to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new
cgroups.

Vladimir Davydov 3f97b16320 list_lru: add helpers to isolate items 
Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of
functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning
LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by
__list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns.  Since the callback is
allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return
LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number
of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock.  This makes
it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is
required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the
lists, we have to move entries one by one.

This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback
functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move.  These are
list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move.  They not only remove the
entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure
nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if
checked under the appropriate lock.

Vladimir Davydov 60d3fd32a7 list_lru: introduce per-memcg lists 
There are several FS shrinkers, including super_block::s_shrink, that
keep reclaimable objects in the list_lru structure.  Hence to turn them
to memcg-aware shrinkers, it is enough to make list_lru per-memcg.

This patch does the trick.  It adds an array of lru lists to the
list_lru_node structure (per-node part of the list_lru), one for each
kmem-active memcg, and dispatches every item addition or removal to the
list corresponding to the memcg which the item is accounted to.  So now
the list_lru structure is not just per node, but per node and per memcg.

Not all list_lrus need this feature, so this patch also adds a new
method, list_lru_init_memcg, which initializes a list_lru as memcg
aware.  Otherwise (i.e.  if initialized with old list_lru_init), the
list_lru won't have per memcg lists.

Just like per memcg caches arrays, the arrays of per-memcg lists are
indexed by memcg_cache_id, so we must grow them whenever
memcg_nr_cache_ids is increased.  So we introduce a callback,
memcg_update_all_list_lrus, invoked by memcg_alloc_cache_id if the id
space is full.

The locking is implemented in a manner similar to lruvecs, i.e.  we have
one lock per node that protects all lists (both global and per cgroup) on
the node.

Vladimir Davydov c0a5b56093 list_lru: organize all list_lrus to list 
To make list_lru memcg aware, we need all list_lrus to be kept on a list
protected by a mutex, so that we could sleep while walking over the
list.

Therefore after this change list_lru_destroy may sleep.  Fortunately,
there is only one user that calls it from an atomic context - it's
put_super - and we can easily fix it by calling list_lru_destroy before
put_super in destroy_locked_super - anyway we don't longer need lrus by
that time.

Another point that should be noted is that list_lru_destroy is allowed
to be called on an uninitialized zeroed-out object, in which case it is
a no-op.  Before this patch this was guaranteed by kfree, but now we
need an explicit check there.

Vladimir Davydov ff0b67ef5b list_lru: get rid of ->active_nodes 
The active_nodes mask allows us to skip empty nodes when walking over
list_lru items from all nodes in list_lru_count/walk.  However, these
functions are never called from hot paths, so it doesn't seem we need
such kind of optimization there.  OTOH, removing the mask will make it
easier to make list_lru per-memcg.

Johannes Weiner 449dd6984d mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check 
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers.  But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed.  This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting.  The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory.  In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.

To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list.  Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads.  A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.

A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:

1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
   from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
   deletion.  To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
   parent.  This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
   member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.

2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
   regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
   the shadow node LRU list.  The current entry count is an unsigned
   int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
   can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.

3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
   in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
   node.  The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
   rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.

4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
   head inside the node.  This does increase the size of the node, but
   it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

from prune_icache_sb() and super_cache_scan().

Notice that we had a very low number of inodes, which were reduced to
zero my mult_frac().

Now, prune_icache_sb() calls list_lru_walk_node() passing that number of
inodes (0) into that as the number of objects to scan:

    long prune_icache_sb(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long nr_to_scan,
                         int nid)
    {
            LIST_HEAD(freeable);
            long freed;

            freed = list_lru_walk_node(&sb->s_inode_lru, nid, inode_lru_isolate,
                                           &freeable, &nr_to_scan);

which does:

    unsigned long
    list_lru_walk_node(struct list_lru *lru, int nid, list_lru_walk_cb isolate,
                       void *cb_arg, unsigned long *nr_to_walk)
    {

            struct list_lru_node    *nlru = &lru->node[nid];
            struct list_head *item, *n;
            unsigned long isolated = 0;

            spin_lock(&nlru->lock);
    restart:
            list_for_each_safe(item, n, &nlru->list) {
                    enum lru_status ret;

                    /*
                     * decrement nr_to_walk first so that we don't livelock if we
                     * get stuck on large numbesr of LRU_RETRY items
                     */
                    if (--(*nr_to_walk) == 0)
                            break;

So, if *nr_to_walk was zero when this function was entered, that means
we're wanting to operate on (~0UL)+1 objects - which might as well be
infinite.

Clearly this is not correct behaviour.  If we think about the behaviour
of this function when *nr_to_walk is 1, then clearly it's wrong - we
decrement first and then test for zero - which results in us doing
nothing at all.  A post-decrement would give the desired behaviour -
we'd try to walk one object and one object only if *nr_to_walk were one.

It also gives the correct behaviour for zero - we exit at this point.

Glauber Costa 5ca302c8e5 list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays 
We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the
list_lru structure.  Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at
initialization time.  But as a consequence, the structures that contain
embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for
instance contains two of them).

This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating
the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.

Glauber Costa 4e717f5c10 list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all. 
The list_lru implementation has one function, list_lru_dispose_all, with
only one user (the dentry code).  At first, such function appears to make
sense because we are really not interested in the result of isolating each
dentry separately - all of them are going away anyway.  However, it's
implementation is buggy in the following way:

When we call list_lru_dispose_all in fs/dcache.c, we scan all dentries
marking them with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST.  However, this is done without the
nlru->lock taken.  The imediate result of that is that someone else may
add or remove the dentry from the LRU at the same time.  When list_lru_del
happens in that scenario we will see an element that is not yet marked
with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST (even though it will be in the future) and
obviously remove it from an lru where the element no longer is.  Since
list_lru_dispose_all will in effect count down nlru's nr_items and
list_lru_del will do the same, this will lead to an imbalance.

The solution for this would not be so simple: we can obviously just keep
the lru_lock taken, but then we have no guarantees that we will be able to
acquire the dentry lock (dentry->d_lock).  To properly solve this, we need
a communication mechanism between the lru and dentry code, so they can
coordinate this with each other.

Such mechanism already exists in the form of the list_lru_walk_cb
callback.  So it is possible to construct a dcache-side prune function
that does the right thing only by calling list_lru_walk in a loop until no
more dentries are available.

With only one user, plus the fact that a sane solution for the problem
would involve boucing between dcache and list_lru anyway, I see little
justification to keep the special case list_lru_dispose_all in tree.

Dave Chinner 5cedf721a7 list_lru: fix broken LRU_RETRY behaviour 
The LRU_RETRY code assumes that the list traversal status after we have
dropped and regained the list lock.  Unfortunately, this is not a valid
assumption, and that can lead to racing traversals isolating objects that
the other traversal expects to be the next item on the list.

This is causing problems with the inode cache shrinker isolation, with
races resulting in an inode on a dispose list being "isolated" because a
racing traversal still thinks it is on the LRU.  The inode is then never
reclaimed and that causes hangs if a subsequent lookup on that inode
occurs.

Fix it by always restarting the list walk on a LRU_RETRY return from the
isolate callback.  Avoid the possibility of livelocks the current code was
trying to avoid by always decrementing the nr_to_walk counter on retries
so that even if we keep hitting the same item on the list we'll eventually
stop trying to walk and exit out of the situation causing the problem.

Dave Chinner 3b1d58a4c9 list_lru: per-node list infrastructure 
Now that we have an LRU list API, we can start to enhance the
implementation.  This splits the single LRU list into per-node lists and
locks to enhance scalability.  Items are placed on lists according to the
node the memory belongs to.  To make scanning the lists efficient, also
track whether the per-node lists have entries in them in a active
nodemask.

Note: We use a fixed-size array for the node LRU, this struct can be very
big if MAX_NUMNODES is big.  If this becomes a problem this is fixable by
turning this into a pointer and dynamically allocating this to
nr_node_ids.  This quantity is firwmare-provided, and still would provide
room for all nodes at the cost of a pointer lookup and an extra
allocation.  Because that allocation will most likely come from a may very
well fail.

Dave Chinner a38e408248 list: add a new LRU list type 
Several subsystems use the same construct for LRU lists - a list head, a
spin lock and and item count.  They also use exactly the same code for
adding and removing items from the LRU.  Create a generic type for these
LRU lists.

This is the beginning of generic, node aware LRUs for shrinkers to work
with.
