[v2,6/6] mm: reparent slab memory on cgroup removal

Commit Message

Roman Gushchin April 23, 2019, 9:31 p.m. UTC

Let's reparent memcg slab memory on memcg offlining. This allows us
to release the memory cgroup without waiting for the last outstanding
kernel object (e.g. dentry used by another application).

So instead of reparenting all accounted slab pages, let's do reparent
a relatively small amount of kmem_caches. Reparenting is performed as
a part of the deactivation process.

Since the parent cgroup is already charged, everything we need to do
is to splice the list of kmem_caches to the parent's kmem_caches list,
swap the memcg pointer and drop the css refcounter for each kmem_cache
and adjust the parent's css refcounter. Quite simple.

Please, note that kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg isn't a stable
pointer anymore. It's safe to read it under rcu_read_lock() or
with slab_mutex held.

We can race with the slab allocation and deallocation paths. It's not
a big problem: parent's charge and slab global stats are always
correct, and we don't care anymore about the child usage and global
stats. The child cgroup is already offline, so we don't use or show it
anywhere.

Local slab stats (NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE)
aren't used anywhere except count_shadow_nodes(). But even there it
won't break anything: after reparenting "nodes" will be 0 on child
level (because we're already reparenting shrinker lists), and on
parent level page stats always were 0, and this patch won't change
anything.
