page cache: use xa_lock

2018-04-11T17:28:39Z

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.

Documentation: Fix 'file_mapped' -> 'mapped_file'

2018-01-30T17:52:11Z

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). Signed-off-by: Florian Schmidt Acked-by: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Documentation/cgroup-v1: fix outdated programming details

2018-01-02T14:59:35Z

The cgroup-v1 documentation is out of date in a few places: * cgroup controllers can no longer be compiled as modules since commit 3ed80a6 ("cgroup: drop module support"); the functions and fields referenced here no longer exist. * Controllers need to create of a cgroup_subsys object named "_cgrp_subsys" instead of "_subsys" since commit 073219e ("cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initialization") Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: linux-doc@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Matt Roper Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

mm, vmpressure: pass-through notification support

2017-07-10T23:32:31Z

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.

Merge branch 'for-4.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2017-02-28T05:41:08Z

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "Several noteworthy changes. - Parav's rdma controller is finally merged. It is very straight forward and can limit the abosolute numbers of common rdma constructs used by different cgroups. - kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for backporting patches but was long overdue. - cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway. - perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This patch was posted a long time ago but somehow fell through the cracks. - misc fixes asnd documentation updates" * 'for-4.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (27 commits) kernfs: fix locking around kernfs_ops->release() callback cgroup: drop the matching uid requirement on migration for cgroup v2 cgroup, perf_event: make perf_event controller work on cgroup2 hierarchy cgroup: misc cleanups cgroup: call subsys->*attach() only for subsystems which are actually affected by migration cgroup: track migration context in cgroup_mgctx cgroup: cosmetic update to cgroup_taskset_add() rdmacg: Fixed uninitialized current resource usage cgroup: Add missing cgroup-v2 PID controller documentation. rdmacg: Added documentation for rdmacg IB/core: added support to use rdma cgroup controller rdmacg: Added rdma cgroup controller cgroup: fix a comment typo cgroup: fix RCU related sparse warnings cgroup: move namespace code to kernel/cgroup/namespace.c cgroup: rename functions for consistency cgroup: move v1 mount functions to kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c cgroup: separate out cgroup1_kf_syscall_ops cgroup: refactor mount path and clearly distinguish v1 and v2 paths cgroup: move cgroup v1 specific code to kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c ...
