Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went
into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines,
sometimes only after many days. Recently found a machine which could usually
produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last.
The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the
arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list
neatly put on to SLUB's freelist. Kamezawa-san identified the same hole
independently.
The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to
safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I
couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected. See the code for
comments on the constraints.
This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but
is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we
need to come back to it later?

mem_cgroup_uncharge_page does css_put on the mem_cgroup before uncharging from
it, and before removing page_cgroup from one of its lru lists: isn't there a
danger that struct mem_cgroup memory could be freed and reused before
completing that, so corrupting something? Never seen it, and for all I know
there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be
defensive and reverse the ordering there.
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around
all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help
get in the habit of doing it like this.

Remove clear_page_cgroup: it's an unhelpful helper, see for example how
mem_cgroup_uncharge_page had to unlock_page_cgroup just in order to call it
(serious races from that? I'm not sure).
Once that's gone, you can see it's pointless for page_cgroup's ref_cnt to be
atomic: it's always manipulated under lock_page_cgroup, except where
force_empty unilaterally reset it to 0 (and how does uncharge's
atomic_dec_and_test protect against that?).
Simplify this page_cgroup locking: if you've got the lock and the pc is
attached, then the ref_cnt must be positive: VM_BUG_ONs to check that, and to
check that pc->page matches page (we're on the way to finding why sometimes it
doesn't, but this patch doesn't fix that).

Let the compiler decide what to inline (except for page_cgroup_locked which is
only used when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM): the __always_inline on lock_page_cgroup etc.
was quite a waste since bit_spin_lock etc. are inlines in a header file; made
mem_cgroup_force_empty and mem_cgroup_write_strategy static.

Nothing uses mem_cgroup_uncharge apart from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page, (a
trivial wrapper around it) and mem_cgroup_end_migration (which does the same
as mem_cgroup_uncharge_page). And it often ends up having to lock just to let
its caller unlock. Remove it (but leave the silly locking until a later
patch).
Moved mem_cgroup_cache_charge next to mem_cgroup_charge in memcontrol.h.

My memcgroup patch to fix hang with shmem/tmpfs added NULL page handling to
mem_cgroup_charge_common. It seemed convenient at the time, but hard to
justify now: there's a perfectly appropriate swappage to charge and uncharge
instead, this is not on any hot path through shmem_getpage, and no performance
hit was observed from the slight extra overhead.
So revert that NULL page handling from mem_cgroup_charge_common; and make it
clearer by bringing page_cgroup_assign_new_page_cgroup into its body - that
was a helper I found more of a hindrance to understanding.

Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad
page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it
were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused.
Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to
memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone
doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the
kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.
Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

This patch adds per-zone status in memory cgroup. These values are often read
(as per-zone value) by page reclaiming.
In current design, per-zone stat is just a unsigned long value and not an
atomic value because they are modified only under lru_lock. (So, atomic_ops
is not necessary.)
This patch adds ACTIVE and INACTIVE per-zone status values.
For handling per-zone status, this patch adds
struct mem_cgroup_per_zone {
...
}
and some helper functions. This will be useful to add per-zone objects
in mem_cgroup.
This patch turns memory controller's early_init to be 0 for calling

The memcgroup regime relies upon a cgroup reclaiming pages from itself within
add_to_page_cache: which may involve some waiting. Whereas shmem and tmpfs
rely upon using add_to_page_cache while holding a spinlock: when it cannot
wait. The consequence is that when a cgroup reaches its limit, shmem_getpage
just hangs - unless there is outside memory pressure too, neither kswapd nor
radix_tree_preload get it out of the retry loop.
In most cases we can mem_cgroup_cache_charge the page waitably first, to
attach the page_cgroup in advance, so add_to_page_cache will do no more than
increment a count; then mem_cgroup_uncharge_page after (in both success and
failure cases) to balance the books again.
And where there used to be a congestion_wait for kswapd (recently made
redundant by radix_tree_preload), use mem_cgroup_cache_charge with NULL page
to go through a cycle of allocation and freeing, without accounting to any
particular page, and without updating the statistics vector. This brings the
cgroup below its limit so the next try usually succeeds.

mem_cgroup_charge_common shows a tendency to OOM without good reason, when
a memhog goes well beyond its rss limit but with plenty of swap available.
Seen on x86 but not on PowerPC; seen when the next patch omits swapcache
from memcgroup, but we presume it can happen without.
mem_cgroup_isolate_pages is not quite satisfying reclaim's criteria for OOM
avoidance. Already it has to scan beyond the nr_to_scan limit when it
finds a !LRU page or an active page when handling inactive or an inactive
page when handling active. It needs to do exactly the same when it finds a
page from the wrong zone (the x86 tests had two zones, the PowerPC tests
had only one).
Don't increment scan and then decrement it in these cases, just move the
incrementation down. Fix recent off-by-one when checking against
nr_to_scan. Cut out "Check if the meta page went away from under us",
presumably left over from early debugging: no amount of such checks could
save us if this list really were being updated without locking.
This change does make the unlimited scan while holding two spinlocks
even worse - bad for latency and bad for containment; but that's a
separate issue which is better left to be fixed a little later.

This patch makes mem_cgroup_isolate_pages() to be

- fixes the bug that isolation makes no progress if page_zone(page) != zone
page once find. (just increment scan in this case.)
kswapd and memory migration removes a page from list when it handles
a page for reclaiming/migration.
Because __isolate_lru_page() doesn't moves page !PageLRU pages, it will

While using memory control cgroup, page-migration under it works as following.
==
1. uncharge all refs at try to unmap.
2. charge regs again remove_migration_ptes()
==
This is simple but has following problems.
==
The page is uncharged and charged back again if *mapped*.
- This means that cgroup before migration can be different from one after
migration
- If page is not mapped but charged as page cache, charge is just ignored
(because not mapped, it will not be uncharged before migration)
This is memory leak.
==
This patch tries to keep memory cgroup at page migration by increasing
one refcnt during it. 3 functions are added.
mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() --- increase refcnt of page->page_cgroup
mem_cgroup_end_migration() --- decrease refcnt of page->page_cgroup
mem_cgroup_page_migration() --- copy page->page_cgroup from old page to
new page.
During migration
- old page is under PG_locked.
- new page is under PG_locked, too.
- both old page and new page is not on LRU.
These 3 facts guarantee that page_cgroup() migration has no race.
Tested and worked well in x86_64/fake-NUMA box.

Creates a helper function to return non-zero if a task is a member of a
memory controller:
int task_in_mem_cgroup(const struct task_struct *task,
const struct mem_cgroup *mem);
When the OOM killer is constrained by the memory controller, the exclusion
of tasks that are not a member of that controller was previously misplaced
and appeared in the badness scoring function. It should be excluded
during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.

Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines
could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts. This patch makes the
charging routine aware of the gfp context. Charging might fail if the
cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned.
This patch was tested on a Powerpc box. I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL
contexts.

Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for.
Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.
Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help
from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.
