I got some reports from our internal application team about memcg OOM.
Even though the application has been killed by oom killer, there are
still a lot THPs reside, page reclaim doesn't reclaim them at all.

Some investigation shows they are on deferred split queue, memcg direct
reclaim can't shrink them since THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg
aware, this may cause premature OOM in memcg.  The issue can be
reproduced easily by the below test:

$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp ./transhuge-stress 4000

transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.

It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split
queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split
shrinker is not memcg aware.

Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg deferred
split queue.  The THP should be on either per node or per memcg deferred
split queue if it belongs to a memcg.  When the page is immigrated to the
other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's deferred split queue
too.

And, move deleting THP from deferred split queue in page free before memcg
uncharge so that the page's memcg information is available.

Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the same
THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues at the same time.

Remove THP specific destructor since it is not used anymore with memcg aware
THP shrinker (Please see the commit log of patch 2/3 for the details).

Make deferred split shrinker not depend on memcg kmem since it is not slab.
It doesn't make sense to not shrink THP even though memcg kmem is disabled.

With the above change the test demonstrated above doesn't trigger OOM anymore
even though with cgroup.memory=nokmem.

Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause
premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would
run into premature OOM easily:

$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000

transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.

It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred
split queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred
split shrinker is not memcg aware.

Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue.  The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg.  When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target
memcg's deferred split queue too.

And, move deleting THP from deferred split queue in page free before
memcg uncharge so that the page's memcg information is available.

Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.

The THP destructor is used to delete THP from per node deferred split
queue, now the operation is moved out of it, so the destructor is not
used anymore, remove it.

Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is
enabled.  But, THP deferred split shrinker is not slab shrinker, it
doesn't make too much sense to have such shrinker depend on memcg kmem.
It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled.

Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker,
i.e. THP deferred split shrinker.  When memcg kmem is disabled, just
such shrinkers can be called in shrinking memcg slab.

Why we need two namesakes for this list entry?

For me it looks redundantly: it does not give additional information,
but it leads to duplication (and we have two helpers page_deferred_list()
and page_memcg_deferred_list() instead of one).

Such the patterns look like a duplication of functionality, we already have
in list_lru: it handles both root_mem_cgroup and all children memcg.

Should we try to reuse that code, and to switch huge pages shrinker
into generic code?

(Yeah, currently we allocate memcg_cache_ida IDS only for kmem, but we may
 consider to allocate them for any cases, since now we have new memcg shrinkers
 like you introduce).

[...]

Thanks,
Kirill

Right, we've also encountered this.  I talked to Kirill about it a week or 
so ago where the suggestion was to split all compound pages on the 
deferred split queues under the presence of even memory pressure.

That breaks cgroup isolation and perhaps unfairly penalizes workloads that 
are running attached to other memcg hierarchies that are not under 
pressure because their compound pages are now split as a side effect.  
There is a benefit to keeping these compound pages around while not under 
memory pressure if all pages are subsequently mapped again.

Yes, we have seen this on at least 4.15 as well.

I'm curious if your internal applications team is also asking for 
statistics on how much memory can be freed if the deferred split queues 
can be shrunk?  We have applications that monitor their own memory usage 
through memcg stats or usage and proactively try to reduce that usage when 
it is growing too large.  The deferred split queues have significantly 
increased both memcg usage and rss when they've upgraded kernels.

How are your applications monitoring how much memory from deferred split 
queues can be freed on memory pressure?  Any thoughts on providing it as a 
memcg stat?

Thanks!

Yes, I do agree. I tried other approaches too, it sounds making deferred 
split queue per memcg is the optimal one.

No, but this reminds me. The THPs on deferred split queue should be 
accounted into available memory too.

I don't think they have such monitor. I saw rss_huge is abormal in memcg 
stat even after the application is killed by oom, so I realized the 
deferred split queue may play a role here.

The memcg stat doesn't have counters for available memory as global 
vmstat. It may be better to have such statistics, or extending 
reclaimable "slab" to shrinkable/reclaimable "memory".

Yes, kind of. Actually I was also wondering if this is worth or not. My 
point is this may improve the code readability. We can figure out what 
split queue (per node or per memcg) is being manipulated just by the 
name of the list.

If the most people thought this is unnecessary, I'm definitely ok to 
just keep one name.

I mean that we do almost the same in list_lru_add(): check for whether
item is already added, find the desired list, maintain the list's len.

It looks all the above we may replace with something like

list_lru_add(defered_thp_lru, page_deferred_list(page))

after necessary preparations (some rewriting of the rest of code is needed).

It does that for shrinker code. but there is the code in mm/memcontrol.c,
which maintains list_lru slots for all memcgs. In case of switching to
list_lru base, we will need to teach the code to maintain the slots
for !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM case too.

Aha, I got your point. I'm not quite familiar with that code. I took a 
quick loot at it, it looks the current APIs are not good enough for 
deferred split, which needs irqsave/irqrestore version list 
add/del/move/walk and page refcount bumped version walk.

We could add those APIs, but deferred split may be the only user. So, 
I'm not sure about whether it is worth the complexity or not.

Yes, the extra complexity comes in. And, we may need distinguish 
deferred split queue with other lrus since other lrus may be reparented 
(they are slab), but deferred split should be not.

The approach we went with were to track the actual counts of compound 
pages on the deferred split queue for each pgdat for each memcg and then 
invoke the shrinker for memcg reclaim and iterate those not charged to the 
hierarchy under reclaim.  That's suboptimal and was a stop gap measure 
under time pressure: it's refreshing to see the optimal method being 
pursued, thanks!

Right, and we have also seen this for users of MADV_FREE that have both an 
increased rss and memcg usage that don't realize that the memory is freed 
under pressure.  I'm thinking that we need some kind of MemAvailable for 
memcg hierarchies to be the authoritative source of what can be reclaimed 
under pressure.

Exactly the same in my case :)  We were likely looking at the exact same 
issue at the same time.

Have you considered following how NR_ANON_MAPPED is tracked for each pgdat 
and using that as an indicator of when the modify a memcg stat to track 
the amount of memory on a compound page?  I think this would be necessary 
for userspace to know what their true memory usage is.

We did the exactly same thing for a temporary hotfix.

It sounds useful. We also need know the available memory in memcg scope 
in our containers.

Yes, it seems so. :-)

No, I haven't. Do you mean minus MADV_FREE and deferred split THP from 
NR_ANON_MAPPED? It looks they have been decreased from NR_ANON_MAPPED 
when removing rmap.

Maybe we should wrap there into a struct and have helper that would return
pointer to the struct which is right for the page: from pgdat or from
memcg, depending on the situation?

This way we will be able to kill most of code duplication, right?

My fault, it is a typo. Should be 2.

Yes, it sounds simpler than using list_lru.

Why can't we increment refcount in isolate callback of __list_lru_walk_one() function?
