Specifically over Muchun's patch "mm: memcontrol: bail out early when !mm in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm".
No significant changes, rebased on Linus's tree. Jens, this series was intended to go into the mm tree since it had some conflicts with mm changes. It never got picked up for 5.12 and the corresponding mm changes are now in linus's tree. This is mostly a loop change so it feels more appropriate to go through the block tree. Do you think that makes sense? Changes since V12: * Small change to get_mem_cgroup_from_mm to avoid needing get_active_memcg Changes since V11: * Removed WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag from loop workqueue. Technically, this can be driven by writeback, but this was causing a warning in xfs and likely other filesystems aren't equipped to be driven by reclaim at the VFS layer. * Included a small fix from Colin Ian King. * reworked get_mem_cgroup_from_mm to institute the necessary charge priority. Changes since V10: * Added page-cache charging to mm: Charge active memcg when no mm is set Changes since V9: * Rebased against linus's branch which now includes Roman Gushchin's patch this series is based off of Changes since V8: * Rebased on top of Roman Gushchin's patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/1464) which provides the nesting support for setting active memcg. Dropped the patch from this series that did the same thing. Changes since V7: * Rebased against linus's branch Changes since V6: * Added separate spinlock for worker synchronization * Minor style changes Changes since V5: * Fixed a missing css_put when failing to allocate a worker * Minor style changes Changes since V4: Only patches 1 and 2 have changed. * Fixed irq lock ordering bug * Simplified loop detach * Added support for nesting memalloc_use_memcg Changes since V3: * Fix race on loop device destruction and deferred worker cleanup * Ensure charge on shmem_swapin_page works just like getpage * Minor style changes Changes since V2: * Deferred destruction of workqueue items so in the common case there is no allocation needed Changes since V1: * Split out and reordered patches so cgroup charging changes are separate from kworker -> workqueue change * Add mem_css to struct loop_cmd to simplify logic The loop device runs all i/o to the backing file on a separate kworker thread which results in all i/o being charged to the root cgroup. This allows a loop device to be used to trivially bypass resource limits and other policy. This patch series fixes this gap in accounting. A simple script to demonstrate this behavior on cgroupv2 machine: ''' #!/bin/bash set -e CGROUP=/sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice LOOP_DEV=/dev/loop0 if [[ ! -d $CGROUP ]] then sudo mkdir $CGROUP fi grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events # Set a memory limit, write more than that limit to tmpfs -> OOM kill sudo unshare -m bash -c " echo \$\$ > $CGROUP/cgroup.procs; echo 0 > $CGROUP/memory.swap.max; echo 64M > $CGROUP/memory.max; mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /tmp; dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/file bs=1M count=256" || true grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events # Set a memory limit, write more than that limit through loopback # device -> no OOM kill sudo unshare -m bash -c " echo \$\$ > $CGROUP/cgroup.procs; echo 0 > $CGROUP/memory.swap.max; echo 64M > $CGROUP/memory.max; mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /tmp; truncate -s 512m /tmp/backing_file losetup $LOOP_DEV /tmp/backing_file dd if=/dev/zero of=$LOOP_DEV bs=1M count=256; losetup -D $LOOP_DEV" || true grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events ''' Naively charging cgroups could result in priority inversions through the single kworker thread in the case where multiple cgroups are reading/writing to the same loop device. This patch series does some minor modification to the loop driver so that each cgroup can make forward progress independently to avoid this inversion. With this patch series applied, the above script triggers OOM kills when writing through the loop device as expected.
