2008-12-01memcg: memory hotplug fix for notifier callbackKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug. While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem. (Because freeing bootmem requires special care.) Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true. But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.) And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section". So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL. One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never be called. (low priority than slub now.) I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it. Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation: - free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

2008-10-23memcg: fix page_cgroup allocationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem(). (and this caused panic at boot.) This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c. Time table is following: == parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this. .... cgroup_init_early() # "early" init of cgroup. .... setup_arch() # memmap is allocated. ... page_cgroup_init(); mem_init(); # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this. .... cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized. == Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So, I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly. (*) maybe this is not very clean but - cgroup_init_early() is too early - in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem(). use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init() directly to init/main.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove unneeded/bad mem_cgroup_subsys declaration] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-20memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at bootKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from struct page. This patch adds an interface as struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*) All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported. Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE. - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.) On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory. On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory. I think this reduction makes sense. By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed. This means - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre. (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.) - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree. - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented. - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling. I added printk message as "allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup" "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want" maybe enough informative for users.
