Prior to "percpu: implement partial chunk depopulation",
pcpu_depopulate_chunk() was called only on the destruction path. This
meant the virtual address range was on its way back to vmalloc which
will handle flushing the tlbs for us.

However, with pcpu_reclaim_populated(), we are now calling
pcpu_depopulate_chunk() during the active lifecycle of a chunk.
Therefore, we need to flush the tlb as well otherwise we can end up
accessing the wrong page through an invalid tlb mapping as reported in
[1].

pcpu_balance_workfn() unconditionally calls pcpu_balance_free(),
pcpu_reclaim_populated(), pcpu_balance_populated() and
pcpu_balance_free() again.

Each call to pcpu_balance_free() and pcpu_reclaim_populated() will
cause at least one acquisition of the pcpu_lock. So even if the
balancing was scheduled because of a failed atomic allocation,
pcpu_lock will be acquired at least 4 times. This obviously
increases the contention on the pcpu_lock.

To optimize the scheme let's grab the pcpu_lock on the upper level
(in pcpu_balance_workfn()) and keep it generally locked for the whole
duration of the scheduled work, but release conditionally to perform
any slow operations like chunk (de)population and creation of new
chunks.

The current implementation of the memcg accounting of the percpu
memory is based on the idea of having two separate sets of chunks for
accounted and non-accounted memory. This approach has an advantage
of not wasting any extra memory for memcg data for non-accounted
chunks, however it complicates the code and leads to a higher chunks
number due to a lower chunk utilization.

Instead of having two chunk types it's possible to declare all* chunks
memcg-aware unless the kernel memory accounting is disabled globally
by a boot option. The size of objcg_array is usually small in
comparison to chunks themselves (it obviously depends on the number of
CPUs), so even if some chunk will have no accounted allocations, the
memory waste isn't significant and will likely be compensated by
a higher chunk utilization. Also, with time more and more percpu
allocations will likely become accounted.

* The first chunk is initialized before the memory cgroup subsystem,
  so we don't know for sure whether we need to allocate obj_cgroups.
  Because it's small, let's make it free for use. Then we don't need
  to allocate obj_cgroups for it.

From Roman ("percpu: partial chunk depopulation"):
In our [Facebook] production experience the percpu memory allocator is
sometimes struggling with returning the memory to the system. A typical
example is a creation of several thousands memory cgroups (each has
several chunks of the percpu data used for vmstats, vmevents,
ref counters etc). Deletion and complete releasing of these cgroups
doesn't always lead to a shrinkage of the percpu memory, so that
sometimes there are several GB's of memory wasted.

The underlying problem is the fragmentation: to release an underlying
chunk all percpu allocations should be released first. The percpu
allocator tends to top up chunks to improve the utilization. It means
new small-ish allocations (e.g. percpu ref counters) are placed onto
almost filled old-ish chunks, effectively pinning them in memory.

This patchset solves this problem by implementing a partial depopulation
of percpu chunks: chunks with many empty pages are being asynchronously
depopulated and the pages are returned to the system.

To illustrate the problem the following script can be used:
--

cd /sys/fs/cgroup

mkdir percpu_test
echo "+memory" > percpu_test/cgroup.subtree_control

cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu

for i in `seq 1 1000`; do
    mkdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"
    for j in `seq 1 10`; do
	mkdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"_"${j}"
    done
done

cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu

for i in `seq 1 1000`; do
    for j in `seq 1 10`; do
	rmdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"_"${j}"
    done
done

sleep 10

cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu

for i in `seq 1 1000`; do
    rmdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"
done

rmdir percpu_test
--

It creates 11000 memory cgroups and removes every 10 out of 11.
It prints the initial size of the percpu memory, the size after
creating all cgroups and the size after deleting most of them.

Results:
  vanilla:
    ./percpu_test.sh
    Percpu:             7488 kB
    Percpu:           481152 kB
    Percpu:           481152 kB

  with this patchset applied:
    ./percpu_test.sh
    Percpu:             7488 kB
    Percpu:           481408 kB
    Percpu:           135552 kB

The total size of the percpu memory was reduced by more than 3.5 times.

This patch:

This patch implements partial depopulation of percpu chunks.

As of now, a chunk can be depopulated only as a part of the final
destruction, if there are no more outstanding allocations. However
to minimize a memory waste it might be useful to depopulate a
partially filed chunk, if a small number of outstanding allocations
prevents the chunk from being fully reclaimed.

This patch implements the following depopulation process: it scans
over the chunk pages, looks for a range of empty and populated pages
and performs the depopulation. To avoid races with new allocations,
the chunk is previously isolated. After the depopulation the chunk is
sidelined to a special list or freed. New allocations prefer using
active chunks to sidelined chunks. If a sidelined chunk is used, it is
reintegrated to the active lists.

The depopulation is scheduled on the free path if the chunk is all of
the following:
  1) has more than 1/4 of total pages free and populated
  2) the system has enough free percpu pages aside of this chunk
  3) isn't the reserved chunk
  4) isn't the first chunk
If it's already depopulated but got free populated pages, it's a good
target too. The chunk is moved to a special slot,
pcpu_to_depopulate_slot, chunk->isolated is set, and the balance work
item is scheduled. On isolation, these pages are removed from the
pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages. It is constantly replaced to the
to_depopulate_slot when it meets these qualifications.

pcpu_reclaim_populated() iterates over the to_depopulate_slot until it
becomes empty. The depopulation is performed in the reverse direction to
keep populated pages close to the beginning. Depopulated chunks are
sidelined to preferentially avoid them for new allocations. When no
active chunk can suffice a new allocation, sidelined chunks are first
checked before creating a new chunk.

Patch series "mm: kmem: kernel memory accounting in an interrupt context".

This patchset implements memcg-based memory accounting of allocations made
from an interrupt context.

Historically, such allocations were passed unaccounted mostly because
charging the memory cgroup of the current process wasn't an option.  Also
performance reasons were likely a reason too.

The remote charging API allows to temporarily overwrite the currently
active memory cgroup, so that all memory allocations are accounted towards
some specified memory cgroup instead of the memory cgroup of the current
process.

This patchset extends the remote charging API so that it can be used from
an interrupt context.  Then it removes the fence that prevented the
accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context.  It also
contains a couple of optimizations/code refactorings.

This patchset doesn't directly enable accounting for any specific
allocations, but prepares the code base for it.  The bpf memory accounting
will likely be the first user of it: a typical example is a bpf program
parsing an incoming network packet, which allocates an entry in hashmap
map to store some information.

This patch (of 4):

Currently memcg_kmem_bypass() is called before obtaining the current
memory/obj cgroup using get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current().  Moving
memcg_kmem_bypass() into get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current() reduces the
number of call sites and allows further code simplifications.

A percpu allocation is usually scattered over multiple pages (and nodes),
and can be significantly smaller than a page.  So let's add a byte-sized
counter on the memcg level: MEMCG_PERCPU_B.  Byte-sized vmstat infra
created for slabs can be perfectly reused for percpu case.

Percpu memory is becoming more and more widely used by various subsystems,
and the total amount of memory controlled by the percpu allocator can make
a good part of the total memory.

As an example, bpf maps can consume a lot of percpu memory, and they are
created by a user.  Also, some cgroup internals (e.g.  memory controller
statistics) can be quite large.  On a machine with many CPUs and big
number of cgroups they can consume hundreds of megabytes.

So the lack of memcg accounting is creating a breach in the memory
isolation.  Similar to the slab memory, percpu memory should be accounted
by default.

To implement the perpcu accounting it's possible to take the slab memory
accounting as a model to follow.  Let's introduce two types of percpu
chunks: root and memcg.  What makes memcg chunks different is an
additional space allocated to store memcg membership information.  If
__GFP_ACCOUNT is passed on allocation, a memcg chunk should be be used.
If it's possible to charge the corresponding size to the target memory
cgroup, allocation is performed, and the memcg ownership data is recorded.
System-wide allocations are performed using root chunks, so there is no
additional memory overhead.

To implement a fast reparenting of percpu memory on memcg removal, we
don't store mem_cgroup pointers directly: instead we use obj_cgroup API,
introduced for slab accounting.

Patch series "mm: memcg accounting of percpu memory", v3.

This patchset adds percpu memory accounting to memory cgroups.  It's based
on the rework of the slab controller and reuses concepts and features
introduced for the per-object slab accounting.

Percpu memory is becoming more and more widely used by various subsystems,
and the total amount of memory controlled by the percpu allocator can make
a good part of the total memory.

As an example, bpf maps can consume a lot of percpu memory, and they are
created by a user.  Also, some cgroup internals (e.g.  memory controller
statistics) can be quite large.  On a machine with many CPUs and big
number of cgroups they can consume hundreds of megabytes.

So the lack of memcg accounting is creating a breach in the memory
isolation.  Similar to the slab memory, percpu memory should be accounted
by default.

Percpu allocations by their nature are scattered over multiple pages, so
they can't be tracked on the per-page basis.  So the per-object tracking
introduced by the new slab controller is reused.

The patchset implements charging of percpu allocations, adds memcg-level
statistics, enables accounting for percpu allocations made by memory
cgroup internals and provides some basic tests.

To implement the accounting of percpu memory without a significant memory
and performance overhead the following approach is used: all accounted
allocations are placed into a separate percpu chunk (or chunks).  These
chunks are similar to default chunks, except that they do have an attached
vector of pointers to obj_cgroup objects, which is big enough to save a
pointer for each allocated object.  On the allocation, if the allocation
has to be accounted (__GFP_ACCOUNT is passed, the allocating process
belongs to a non-root memory cgroup, etc), the memory cgroup is getting
charged and if the maximum limit is not exceeded the allocation is
performed using a memcg-aware chunk.  Otherwise -ENOMEM is returned or the
allocation is forced over the limit, depending on gfp (as any other kernel
memory allocation).  The memory cgroup information is saved in the
obj_cgroup vector at the corresponding offset.  On the release time the
memcg information is restored from the vector and the cgroup is getting
uncharged.  Unaccounted allocations (at this point the absolute majority
of all percpu allocations) are performed in the old way, so no additional
overhead is expected.

To avoid pinning dying memory cgroups by outstanding allocations,
obj_cgroup API is used instead of directly saving memory cgroup pointers.
obj_cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a standalone
reference counter.  The trick is that it can be atomically swapped to
point at the parent cgroup, so that the original memory cgroup can be
released prior to all objects, which has been charged to it.  Because all
charges and statistics are fully recursive, it's perfectly correct to
uncharge the parent cgroup instead.  This scheme is used in the slab
memory accounting, and percpu memory can just follow the scheme.

This patch (of 5):

To implement accounting of percpu memory we need the information about the
size of freed object.  Return it from pcpu_free_area().

Since 5.7-rc1, on btrfs we have a percpu counter initialization for
which we always pass a GFP_KERNEL gfp_t argument (this happens since
commit 2992df73

 ("btrfs: Implement DREW lock")).

That is safe in some contextes but not on others where allowing fs
reclaim could lead to a deadlock because we are either holding some
btrfs lock needed for a transaction commit or holding a btrfs
transaction handle open.  Because of that we surround the call to the
function that initializes the percpu counter with a NOFS context using
memalloc_nofs_save() (this is done at btrfs_init_fs_root()).

However it turns out that this is not enough to prevent a possible
deadlock because percpu_alloc() determines if it is in an atomic context
by looking exclusively at the gfp flags passed to it (GFP_KERNEL in this
case) and it is not aware that a NOFS context is set.

Because percpu_alloc() thinks it is in a non atomic context it locks the
pcpu_alloc_mutex.  This can result in a btrfs deadlock when
pcpu_balance_workfn() is running, has acquired that mutex and is waiting
for reclaim, while the btrfs task that called percpu_counter_init() (and
therefore percpu_alloc()) is holding either the btrfs commit_root
semaphore or a transaction handle (done fs/btrfs/backref.c:
iterate_extent_inodes()), which prevents reclaim from finishing as an
attempt to commit the current btrfs transaction will deadlock.

Lockdep reports this issue with the following trace:

This could be fixed by making btrfs pass GFP_NOFS instead of GFP_KERNEL
to percpu_counter_init() in contextes where it is not reclaim safe,
however that type of approach is discouraged since
memalloc_[nofs|noio]_save() were introduced.  Therefore this change
makes pcpu_alloc() look up into an existing nofs/noio context before
deciding whether it is in an atomic context or not.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct pcpu_alloc_info {
	...
        struct pcpu_group_info  groups[];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following form:

sizeof(*ai) + nr_groups * sizeof(ai->groups[0])

with:

struct_size(ai, groups, nr_groups)

In free_percpu() we sometimes call pcpu_schedule_balance_work() to
queue a work item (which does a wakeup) while holding pcpu_lock.
This creates an unnecessary lock dependency between pcpu_lock and
the scheduler's pi_lock.  There are other places where we call
pcpu_schedule_balance_work() without hold pcpu_lock, and this case
doesn't need to be different.

Moving the call outside the lock prevents the following lockdep splat
when running tools/testing/selftests/bpf/{test_maps,test_progs} in
sequence with lockdep enabled:

Instead of changing the print to "%px", and leaking kernel addresses,
just remove the print completely, cfr. e.g. commit 071929db

Just like blocks, chunks now maintain a scan_hint. This can be used to
skip some scanning by promoting the scan_hint to be the contig_hint.
The chunk's scan_hint is primarily updated on the backside and relies on
full scanning when a block becomes free or the free region spans across
blocks.

As mentioned in the last patch, a chunk's hints are no different than a
block just responsible for more bits. This converts chunk level hints to
use a pcpu_block_md to maintain them. This lets us reuse the same hint
helper functions as a block. The left_free and right_free are unused by
the chunk's pcpu_block_md.

In reality, a chunk is just a block covering a larger number of bits.
The hints themselves are one in the same. Rather than maintaining the
hints separately, first introduce nr_bits to genericize
pcpu_block_update() to correctly maintain block->right_free. The next
patch will convert chunk hints to be managed as a pcpu_block_md.

Blocks now remember the latest scan_hint. This can be used on the
allocation path as when a contig_hint is broken, we can promote the
scan_hint to the contig_hint and scan forward from there. This works
because pcpu_block_refresh_hint() is only called on the allocation path
while block free regions are updated manually in
pcpu_block_update_hint_free().

Percpu allocations attempt to do first fit by scanning forward from the
first_free of a block. However, fragmentation from allocation requests
can cause holes not seen by block hint update functions. To address
this, create a local version of bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() that
remembers the largest area skipped over. The caveat is that it only sees
regions skipped over due to not fitting, not regions skipped due to
alignment.

Prior to updating the scan_hint, a scan backwards is done to try and
recover free bits skipped due to alignment. While this can cause
scanning to miss earlier possible free areas, smaller allocations will
eventually fill those holes due to first fit.

Fragmentation can cause both blocks and chunks to have an early
first_firee bit available, but only able to satisfy allocations much
later on. This patch introduces a scan_hint to help mitigate some
unnecessary scanning.

The scan_hint remembers the largest area prior to the contig_hint. If
the contig_hint == scan_hint, then scan_hint_start > contig_hint_start.
This is necessary for scan_hint discovery when refreshing a block.

Previously, block size was flexible based on the constraint that the
GCD(PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE) > 1. However, this carried the
overhead that keeping a floating number of populated free pages required
scanning over the free regions of a chunk.

Setting the block size to be fixed at PAGE_SIZE lets us know when an
empty page becomes used as we will break a full contig_hint of a block.
This means we no longer have to scan the whole chunk upon breaking a
contig_hint which empty page management piggybacked off. A later patch
takes advantage of this to optimize the allocation path by only scanning
forward using the scan_hint introduced later too.
