(suggested by Johannes Weiner) (patch 6) v7: * Added the mem_cgroup_iter_online() function to the API for the new behavior (suggested by Andrew Morton) (patch 2) * Fixed a missing list_lru_del -> list_lru_del_obj (patch 1) v6: * Rebase on top of latest mm-unstable. * Fix/improve the in-code documentation of the new list_lru manipulation functions (patch 1) v5: * Replace reference getting with an rcu_read_lock() section for zswap lru modifications (suggested by Yosry) * Add a new prep patch that allows mem_cgroup_iter() to return online cgroup. * Add a callback that updates pool->next_shrink when the cgroup is offlined (suggested by Yosry Ahmed, Johannes Weiner) v4: * Rename list_lru_add to list_lru_add_obj and __list_lru_add to list_lru_add (patch 1) (suggested by Johannes Weiner and Yosry Ahmed) * Some cleanups on the memcg aware LRU patch (patch 2) (suggested by Yosry Ahmed) * Use event interface for the new per-cgroup writeback counters. (patch 3) (suggested by Yosry Ahmed) * Abstract zswap's lruvec states and handling into zswap_lruvec_state (patch 5) (suggested by Yosry Ahmed) v3: * Add a patch to export per-cgroup zswap writeback counters * Add a patch to update zswap's kselftest * Separate the new list_lru functions into its own prep patch * Do not start from the top of the hierarchy when encounter a memcg that is not online for the global limit zswap writeback (patch 2) (suggested by Yosry Ahmed) * Do not remove the swap entry from list_lru in __read_swapcache_async() (patch 2) (suggested by Yosry Ahmed) * Removed a redundant zswap pool getting (patch 2) (reported by Ryan Roberts) * Use atomic for the nr_zswap_protected (instead of lruvec's lock) (patch 5) (suggested by Yosry Ahmed) * Remove the per-cgroup zswap shrinker knob (patch 5) (suggested by Yosry Ahmed) v2: * Fix loongarch compiler errors * Use pool stats instead of memcg stats when !CONFIG_MEMCG_KEM There are currently several issues with zswap writeback: 1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in the zswap pool. 2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages). This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis. As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.
