This patch series contains a number of miscellaneous cleanup for memcg. It
is based on the next-20211001 branch.

  mm, memcg: Don't put offlined memcg into local stock
  mm, memcg: Remove obsolete memcg_free_kmem()

When freeing a page associated with an offlined memcg, refill_stock()
will put it into local stock delaying its demise until another memcg
comes in to take its place in the stock. To avoid that, we now check
for offlined memcg and go directly in this case to the slowpath for
the uncharge via the repurposed cancel_charge() function.

Since commit d648bcc7fe65 ("mm: kmem: make memcg_kmem_enabled()
irreversible"), the only thing memcg_free_kmem() does is to call
memcg_offline_kmem() when the memcg is still online. However,
memcg_offline_kmem() is only called from mem_cgroup_css_free() which
cannot be reached if the memcg hasn't been offlined first. As this
function now serves no purpose, we should just remove it.

To ensure that a to-be-offlined memcg fetched from objcg remains
valid (has non-zero reference count) within a RCU critical section,
a synchronize_rcu() call is inserted at the end of memcg_offline_kmem().

With that change, we no longer need to use css_tryget()
in get_mem_cgroup_from_objcg() as the final css_put() in
css_killed_work_fn() would not have been called yet.

The obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() function is simplifed to perform
the whole uncharge operation within a RCU critical section saving a
css_get()/css_put() pair.

This is called with cgroup_mutex held from css_offline path and
synchronize_rcu() can be very expensive on a busy system, so, this
will indirectly impact all the code paths which take cgroup_mutex.

Yes, you are right. Just don't consider this patch for the time being. I 
will need to find a way to work around that.

Hi Waiman!

I'm afraid it can make a cleanup of a dying cgroup slower: for every
released page we'll potentially traverse the whole cgroup tree and
decrease atomic page counters.

I'm not sure I understand the benefits we get from this change which
do justify the slowdown on the cleanup path.

Thanks!

Hm, is it true? What if online_css() fails?

It looks like we can just use memcg_offline_kmem() instead of
memcg_free_kmem().

Thanks!

I am debugging a problem where some dying memcgs somehow stay around for 
a long time leading to gradual increase in memory consumption over time. 
I see the per-cpu stock as one of the places where a reference to a 
dying memcg may be present. Anyway, I agree that it may not help much. I 
am going to drop it if you think it is not a good idea.

Cheers,
Longman

I just realize that memcg_online_kmem() is called at css_create(). So 
yes, if css_online() fails (i.e. ENOMEM), we will need to do 
memcg_offline_kmem().

Right, memcg_free_kmem() isn't the right name for that. I agree that we 
should just change mem_cgroup_css_free() to call memcg_offline_kmem() 
directly. Will update the patch accordingly.

Thanks,
Longman

The &sighand->siglock => css_set_lock locking sequence is caused by a 
task holding sighand->siglock and call kmem_cache_alloc(GFP_ATOMIC) and 
the release of the obj_cgroup originally from an offlined memcg in 
percpu stock leading to the call of obj_cgroup_release() which takes the 
cs_set_lock. The chance of hitting that is very small, but it can still 
happen. So do you think addressing this possible deadlock scenario is 
worth the possible slower release of an offlined memcg?

Longman

Would you mind to test this patch:

It should address this dependency.

Thanks for the pointer. I believe that your patch should be able to 
address this circular locking dependency.

Not yet.

I was waiting for Alexander to confirm that it resolves the originally reported
issue. I just pinged him, will wait for tomorrow and post the patch in any case.
