[PATCH] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flag

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

This patch is onto memcg-devel, can be applied to linux-next, too.

Subject: [PATCH] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE

We record 'the page is cache' by PCG_CACHE bit to page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This
doesn't include shmem.

Consdering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know
what  the page is and we don't need to record it by using 1bit
per page.

This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.

Changelog since RFC.
 - rebased onto memcg-devel
 - rename 'file' to 'not_rss'
 - some cleanup and added comment.

Could you invert that boolean and call it "anon"?

	mem_cgroup_charge_statistics(memcg,

and save even more lines, without sacrificing clarity! :)

Looks like an unrelated bugfix on one hand, but on the other hand we
do not differentiate cache from shmem anywhere, afaik, and you do not
introduce anything that does.  Could you just leave this out?

Just for record memcg-devel tree should _always_ be compatible with
linux-next. It just contains patches which are memcg related to be more
stable for memcg specific development.

OK, this makes sense but doesn't make any real difference now, so it is
more a clean up, right?

[PATCH v3] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flag

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

I think this version is much simplified.

Subject: [PATCH v3] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE

We record 'the page is cache' by PCG_CACHE bit to page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This
doesn't include shmem.

Consdering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know
what  the page is and we don't need to record it by using 1bit
per page.

This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.

Changelog since v2
 - removed 'not_rss', added 'anon'
 - changed a meaning of arguments to mem_cgroup_charge_statisitcs()
 - removed a patch to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache
 - simplified comment.

Changelog since RFC.
 - rebased onto memcg-devel
 - rename 'file' to 'not_rss'
 - some cleanup and added comment.

[PATCH v4] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flag

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

> Can we make this anon as well?

I'm sorry for long RTT. version 4 here.

Subject: [PATCH] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE

We record 'the page is cache' by PCG_CACHE bit to page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This
doesn't include shmem.

Consdering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know
what  the page is and we don't need to record it by using 1bit
per page.

This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.

Changelog since v3
 - renamed a variable 'rss' to 'anon'

Changelog since v2
 - removed 'not_rss', added 'anon'
 - changed a meaning of arguments to mem_cgroup_charge_statisitcs()
 - removed a patch to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache
 - simplified comment.

Changelog since RFC.
 - rebased onto memcg-devel
 - rename 'file' to 'not_rss'
 - some cleanup and added comment.

Hold on, I think this patch is still not complete: end_migration()
directly uses __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common() with the FORCE charge
type.  This will uncharge all migrated anon pages as cache, when it
should decide based on PageAnon(used), which is the page where
->mapping is intact after migration.

You are right, I've missed that one as well. Anyway
MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_FORCE is used only in mem_cgroup_end_migration
these days and it got out of sync with its documentation (used by
force_empty) quite some time ago (f817ed48). What about something like
the following on top of the previous patch?
--- 
Should be foldet into the previous patch with the updated changelog:

Mapping of the unused page is not touched during migration (see
page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct charge type
down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration. The force flag
was misleading anyway.

Subject: [PATCH] memcg: Get rid of MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_FORCE charge flag

The flag was originaly intended for force empty code path but we are not
using it from there since f817ed48: memcg: move all acccounting to
parent at rmdir().

Later we have abused the flag for end_migration code path by ac39cf8c:
memcg: fix mis-accounting of file mapped racy with migration. This is
not the case anymore so let's get rid of it finally.

Kinda.  It had the effect of skipping the needless page_mapped() /
PageCgroupMigration() check, we know the unused page is no longer
mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few lines up.  But doing
the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding another flag just to
skip them.  But I guess this should be mentioned in the changelog.

Should be folded into the previous patch with the updated changelog:

Mapping of the used page is not touched during migration (see

Subject: [PATCH v5] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE

We record 'the page is cache' by PCG_CACHE bit to page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache). This
doesn't include shmem.

Consdering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know
what  the page is and we don't need to record it by using 1bit
per page.

This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.

About page migration:
Mapping of the used page is not touched during migration (see
page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct charge type
down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for unused page.
The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the needless
page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the unused page
is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few lines
up.  But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding another
flag just to skip them.

Changelog since v4
 - fixed a bug at page migration by Michal Hokko.

Changelog since v3
 - renamed a variable 'rss' to 'anon'

Changelog since v2
 - removed 'not_rss', added 'anon'
 - changed a meaning of arguments to mem_cgroup_charge_statisitcs()
 - removed a patch to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache
 - simplified comment.

Changelog since RFC.
 - rebased onto memcg-devel
 - rename 'file' to 'not_rss'
 - some cleanup and added comment.

Would be more fair:
