The memory controller in cgroup v2 exposes memory.events file for each
memcg which shows the number of times events like low, high, max, oom
and oom_kill have happened for the whole tree rooted at that memcg.
Users can also poll or register notification to monitor the changes in
that file. Any event at any level of the tree rooted at memcg will
notify all the listeners along the path till root_mem_cgroup. There are
existing users which depend on this behavior.
However there are users which are only interested in the events
happening at a specific level of the memcg tree and not in the events in
the underlying tree rooted at that memcg. One such use-case is a
centralized resource monitor which can dynamically adjust the limits of
the jobs running on a system. The jobs can create their sub-hierarchy
for their own sub-tasks. The centralized monitor is only interested in
the events at the top level memcgs of the jobs as it can then act and
adjust the limits of the jobs. Using the current memory.events for such
centralized monitor is very inconvenient. The monitor will keep
receiving events which it is not interested and to find if the received
event is interesting, it has to read memory.event files of the next
level and compare it with the top level one. So, let's introduce
memory.events.local to the memcg which shows and notify for the events
at the memcg level.
Now, does memory.stat and memory.pressure need their local versions. IMHO
no due to the no internal process contraint of the cgroup v2. The
memory.stat file of the top level memcg of a job shows the stats and
vmevents of the whole tree. The local stats or vmevents of the top level
memcg will only change if there is a process running in that memcg but v2
does not allow that. Similarly for memory.pressure there will not be any
process in the internal nodes and thus no chance of local pressure.

memory.stat and other files already consider subtrees in their output, and
we should too in order to not present an inconsistent interface.
The current situation is fairly confusing, because people interacting with
cgroups expect hierarchical behaviour in the vein of memory.stat,
cgroup.events, and other files. For example, this causes confusion when
debugging reclaim events under low, as currently these always read "0" at
non-leaf memcg nodes, which frequently causes people to misdiagnose breach
behaviour. The same confusion applies to other counters in this file when
debugging issues.
Aggregation is done at write time instead of at read-time since these
counters aren't hot (unlike memory.stat which is per-page, so it does it
at read time), and it makes sense to bundle this with the file
notifications.
After this patch, events are propagated up the hierarchy:
[root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events
low 0
high 0
max 0
oom 0
oom_kill 0
[root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryMax=1 true
Running as unit: run-r251162a189fb4562b9dabfdc9b0422f5.service
[root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events
low 0
high 0
max 7
oom 1
oom_kill 1
As this is a change in behaviour, this can be reverted to the old
behaviour by mounting with the `memory_localevents' flag set. However, we
use the new behaviour by default as there's a lack of evidence that there
are any current users of memory.events that would find this change
undesirable.
akpm: this is a behaviour change, so Cc:stable. THis is so that
forthcoming distros which use cgroup v2 are more likely to pick up the
revised behaviour.

Currently THP allocation events data is fairly opaque, since you can
only get it system-wide. This patch makes it easier to reason about
transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis.
For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1,
which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's
fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg,
since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any
memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that,
but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

Given the fact that thread mode had been merged into 4.14, it is now
time to enable cpuset to be used in the default hierarchy (cgroup v2)
as it is clearly threaded.
The cpuset controller had experienced feature creep since its
introduction more than a decade ago. Besides the core cpus and mems
control files to limit cpus and memory nodes, there are a bunch of
additional features that can be controlled from the userspace. Some of
the features are of doubtful usefulness and may not be actively used.
This patch enables cpuset controller in the default hierarchy with
a minimal set of features, namely just the cpus and mems and their
effective_* counterparts. We can certainly add more features to the
default hierarchy in the future if there is a real user need for them
later on.
Alternatively, with the unified hiearachy, it may make more sense
to move some of those additional cpuset features, if desired, to
memory controller or may be to the cpu controller instead of staying
with cpuset.

It was reported that on some of our machines containers were restarted
with OOM symptoms without an obvious reason. Despite there were almost no
memory pressure and plenty of page cache, MEMCG_OOM event was raised
occasionally, causing the container management software to think, that OOM
has happened. However, no tasks have been killed.
The following investigation showed that the problem is caused by a failing
attempt to charge a high-order page. In such case, the OOM killer is
never invoked. As shown below, it can happen under conditions, which are
very far from a real OOM: e.g. there is plenty of clean page cache and no
memory pressure.
There is no sense in raising an OOM event in this case, as it might
confuse a user and lead to wrong and excessive actions (e.g. restart the
workload, as in my case).
Let's look at the charging path in try_charge(). If the memory usage is
about memory.max, which is absolutely natural for most memory cgroups, we
try to reclaim some pages. Even if we were able to reclaim enough memory
for the allocation, the following check can fail due to a race with
another concurrent allocation:
if (mem_cgroup_margin(mem_over_limit) >= nr_pages)
goto retry;
For regular pages the following condition will save us from triggering
the OOM:
if (nr_reclaimed && nr_pages <= (1 << PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER))
goto retry;
But for high-order allocation this condition will intentionally fail. The
reason behind is that we'll likely fall to regular pages anyway, so it's
ok and even preferred to return ENOMEM.
In this case the idea of raising MEMCG_OOM looks dubious.
Fix this by moving MEMCG_OOM raising to mem_cgroup_oom() after allocation
order check, so that the event won't be raised for high order allocations.
This change doesn't affect regular pages allocation and charging.

also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health,
fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.
This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only
the tasks inside the cgroup.

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful.
Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state.
Historically, there are two common solutions for this
problem:
1) enabling panic_on_oom,
2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill
all outstanding processes.
Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious
waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a
userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs.
In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate
the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup
management for userspace applications.
This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller:
memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be
treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks
belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not
a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all.
To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup
hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root)
and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set.
Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as
an exception and are never killed.
This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every
window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric
becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history.
This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the
avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances
when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most
recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by
binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay
rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately.
The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable
calculation of the window range.

Currently an attempt to set swap.max into a value lower than the actual
swap usage fails, which causes configuration problems as there's no way
of lowering the configuration below the current usage short of turning
off swap entirely. This makes swap.max difficult to use and allows
delegatees to lock the delegator out of reducing swap allocation.
This patch updates swap_max_write() so that the limit can be lowered
below the current usage. It doesn't implement active reclaiming of swap
entries for the following reasons.
* mem_cgroup_swap_full() already tells the swap machinary to
aggressively reclaim swap entries if the usage is above 50% of
limit, so simply lowering the limit automatically triggers gradual
reclaim.
* Forcing back swapped out pages is likely to heavily impact the
workload and mess up the working set. Given that swap usually is a
lot less valuable and less scarce, letting the existing usage
dissipate over time through the above gradual reclaim and as they're
falted back in is likely the better behavior.

Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory
protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows
protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim.
But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as
there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless
against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This
is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory
soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking
application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only
effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to
invoke the OOM killer.
It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW
events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism
to provide stronger guarantees.
This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory
controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same
hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no
more reclaimable memory in the system.
If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise
even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory,
and the system can stall.

Add swap max and fail events so that userland can monitor and respond to
running out of swap.
I'm not too sure about the fail event. Right now, it's a bit confusing
which stats / events are recursive and which aren't and also which ones
reflect events which originate from a given cgroup and which targets the
cgroup. No idea what the right long term solution is and it could just
be that growing them organically is actually the only right thing to do.

The cgroup-v2.txt is already in ReST format. So, move it to the
admin-guide, where it belongs.
