2019-03-05mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access ->lru_lock directlyAndrey Ryabinin1-2/+2
We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer: zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page)) Which is silly, because it unfolds to this: &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock while we can simply do &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things. Use 'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

2018-04-11page cache: use xa_lockMatthew Wilcox1-1/+1
Remove the address_space ->tree_lock and use the xa_lock newly added to the radix_tree_root. Rename the address_space ->page_tree to ->i_pages, since we don't really care that it's a tree.

2018-01-30Documentation: Fix 'file_mapped' -> 'mapped_file'Florian Schmidt1-2/+2
There is no entry file_mapped in the memory.stat file. This looks like a simple word flip that's gone unnoticed since 2010 (dc10e281f5fc, memcg: update documentation).

2017-07-10mm, vmpressure: pass-through notification supportDavid Rientjes1-12/+35
By default, vmpressure events are not pass-through, i.e. they propagate up through the memcg hierarchy until an event notifier is found for any threshold level. This presents a difficulty when a thread waiting on a read(2) for a vmpressure event cannot distinguish between local memory pressure and memory pressure in a descendant memcg, especially when that thread may not control the memcg hierarchy. Consider a user-controlled child memcg with a smaller limit than a top-level memcg controlled by the "Activity Manager" specified in Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt. It may register for memory pressure notification for descendant memcgs to make a policy decision: oom kill a low priority job, increase the limit, decrease other limits, etc. If it registers for memory pressure notification on the top-level memcg, it currently cannot distinguish between memory pressure in its own memcg or a descendant memcg, which is user-controlled. Conversely, if a user registers for memory pressure notification on their own descendant memcg, the Activity Manager does not receive any pressure notification for that child memcg hierarchy. Vmpressure events are not received for ancestor memcgs if the memcg experiencing pressure have notifiers registered, perhaps outside the knowledge of the thread waiting on read(2) at the top level. Both of these are consequences of vmpressure notification not being pass-through. This implements a pass-through behavior for vmpressure events. When writing to control.event_control, vmpressure event handlers may optionally specify a mode. There are two new modes: - "hierarchy": always propagate memory pressure events up the hierarchy regardless if descendant memcgs have their own notifiers registered, and - "local": only receive notifications when the memcg for which the event is registered experiences memory pressure. Of course, processes may register for one notification of "low,local", for example, and another for "low". If no mode is specified, the current behavior is maintained for backwards compatibility. See the change to Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt for full specification.

2016-07-28mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the nodeMel Gorman1-2/+2
Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking. This is a preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming from different zones.
