| * net: move sock_update_memcg outside of CONFIG_INETGlauber Costa2012-01-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although only used currently for tcp sockets, this function is now used in common sock code (for sock_clone()) Commit 475f1b52645a29936b9df1d8fcd45f7e56bd4a9f moved the declaration of sock_update_clone() to inside sock.c, but this only fixes the problem when CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM is also not defined. This patch here is verified to fix both problems, although reverting the previous one is not necessary. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> CC: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on initial patch by Steven Rostedt. Early kmemleak warnings did not show where the actual kmemleak API had been called from but rather just a backtrace to the kmemleak_init() function. By having all early kmemleak logs record the stack_trace, we can have kmemleak_init() write exactly where the problem occurred. This patch adds the setting of the kmemleak_warning variable every time a kmemleak warning is issued. The kmemleak_init() function checks this variable during early log replaying and prints the log trace if there was any warning.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is sometimes confusion between the global putback_lru_pages() in migrate.c and the static putback_lru_pages() in vmscan.c: rename the latter putback_inactive_pages(): it helps shrink_inactive_list() rather as move_active_pages_to_lru() helps shrink_active_list(). Remove unused scan_control arg from putback_inactive_pages() and from update_isolated_counts(). Move clear_active_flags() inside update_isolated_counts(). Move NR_ISOLATED accounting up into shrink_inactive_list() itself, so the balance is clearer. Do the spin_lock_irq() before calling putback_inactive_pages() and spin_unlock_irq() after return from it, so that it better matches update_isolated_counts() and move_active_pages_to_lru().

Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces (which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly, removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim. Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in deep backtraces. However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages (nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely compound case before putting on pages_to_free. Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru(). The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c, but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If DEBUG_VM, mem_cgroup_print_bad_page() is called whenever bad_page() shows a "Bad page state" message, removes page from circulation, adds a taint and continues. This is at a very low level, often when a spinlock is held (sometimes when page table lock is held, for example). We want to recover from this badness, not make it worse: we must not kmalloc memory here, we must not do a cgroup path lookup via dubious pointers. No doubt that code was useful to debug a particular case at one time, and may be again, but take it out of the mainline kernel.

* | memcg: fix split_huge_page_refcounts()Hugh Dickins2012-01-123-30/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch started off as a cleanup: __split_huge_page_refcounts() has to cope with two scenarios, when the hugepage being split is already on LRU, and when it is not; but why does it have to split that accounting across three different sites? Consolidate it in lru_add_page_tail(), handling evictable and unevictable alike, and use standard add_page_to_lru_list() when accounting is needed (when the head is not yet on LRU). But a recent regression in -next, I guess the removal of PageCgroupAcctLRU test from mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup(), makes this now a necessary fix: under load, the MEM_CGROUP_ZSTAT count was wrapping to a huge number, messing up reclaim calculations and causing a freeze at rmdir of cgroup. Add a VM_BUG_ON to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() when we're about to wrap that count - this has not been the only such incident. Document that lru_add_page_tail() is for Transparent HugePages by #ifdef around it.

* | mm: vmscan: check if reclaim should really abort even if compaction_ready() ↵Mel Gorman2012-01-121-10/+9

After commit [e0c2327: vmscan: abort reclaim/compaction if compaction can proceed], do_try_to_free_pages() tries to finish as soon as possible once one zone can compact. This was intended to prevent slabs being shrunk unnecessarily but there are side-effects. One is that a small zone that is ready for compaction will abort reclaim even if the chances of successfully allocating a THP from that zone is small. It also means that reclaim can return too early even though sc->nr_to_reclaim pages were not reclaimed. This partially reverts the commit until it is proven that slabs are really being shrunk unnecessarily but preserves the check to return 1 to avoid OOM if reclaim was aborted prematurely.

In his initial patch he used the number of free pages to decide if reclaim should abort for compaction. My feedback was that reclaim and compaction should be using the same logic when deciding if reclaim should be aborted. Unfortunately, this had the effect of reducing THP success rates when the workload included something like streaming reads that continually allocated pages. The window during which compaction could run and return a THP was too small. This patch combines Rik's two patches together. compaction_suitable() is still used to decide if reclaim should be aborted to allow compaction is used. However, it will also ensure that there is a reasonable buffer of free pages available. This improves upon the THP allocation success rates but bounds the number of pages that are freed for compaction.

* | mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compactionMel Gorman2012-01-125-39/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used. This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time, particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support ->writepages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | compaction is deferred If compaction is deferred, direct reclaim is used to try to free enough pages for the allocation to succeed. For small high-orders, this has a reasonable chance of success. However, if the caller has specified __GFP_NO_KSWAPD to limit the disruption to the system, it makes more sense to fail the allocation rather than stall the caller in direct reclaim. This patch skips direct reclaim if compaction is deferred and the caller specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD. Async compaction only considers a subset of pages so it is possible for compaction to be deferred prematurely and not enter direct reclaim even in cases where it should. To compensate for this, this patch also defers compaction only if sync compaction failed.

Due to reports of stalling, there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check; if (PageDirty(page) && !sync && mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page) rc = -EBUSY; This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.

This did not happen so this patch addresses it. The assumption is if a user writes to /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory, they are willing for that process to stall.

If you are experiencing this problem, please test and report back and considering I have seen complaints from openSUSE and Fedora users on this as well as a few private mails, I'm guessing it's a widespread issue. This is a new type of USB-related stall because it is due to synchronous compaction writing where as in the past the big problem was dirty pages reaching the end of the LRU and being written by reclaim. Am cc'ing Andrew this time and this series would replace mm-do-not-stall-in-synchronous-compaction-for-thp-allocations.patch. I'm also cc'ing Dave Jones as he might have merged that patch to Fedora for wider testing and ideally it would be reverted and replaced by this series. That said, the later patches could really do with some review. If this series is not the answer then a new direction needs to be discussed because as it is, the stalls are unacceptable as the results in this leader show. For testers that try backporting this to 3.1, it won't work because there is a non-obvious dependency on not writing back pages in direct reclaim so you need those patches too. Changelog since V5 o Rebase to 3.2-rc5 o Tidy up the changelogs a bit Changelog since V4 o Added reviewed-bys, credited Andrea properly for sync-light o Allow dirty pages without mappings to be considered for migration o Bound the number of pages freed for compaction o Isolate PageReclaim pages on their own LRU list This is against 3.2-rc5 and follows on from discussions on "mm: Do not stall in synchronous compaction for THP allocations" and "[RFC PATCH 0/5] Reduce compaction-related stalls". Initially, the proposed patch eliminated stalls due to compaction which sometimes resulted in user-visible interactivity problems on browsers by simply never using sync compaction. The downside was that THP success allocation rates were lower because dirty pages were not being migrated as reported by Andrea. His approach at fixing this was nacked on the grounds that it reverted fixes from Rik merged that reduced the amount of pages reclaimed as it severely impacted his workloads performance. This series attempts to reconcile the requirements of maximising THP usage, without stalling in a user-visible fashion due to compaction or cheating by reclaiming an excessive number of pages. Patch 1 partially reverts commit 39deaf85 to allow migration to isolate dirty pages. This is because migration can move some dirty pages without blocking. Patch 2 notes that the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory handler is not using synchronous compaction when it should be. This is unrelated to the reported stalls but is worth fixing. Patch 3 checks if we isolated a compound page during lumpy scan and account for it properly. For the most part, this affects tracing so it's unrelated to the stalls but worth fixing. Patch 4 notes that it is possible to abort reclaim early for compaction and return 0 to the page allocator potentially entering the "may oom" path. This has not been observed in practice but the rest of the series potentially makes it easier to happen. Patch 5 adds a sync parameter to the migratepage callback and gives the callback responsibility for migrating the page without blocking if sync==false. For example, fallback_migrate_page will not call writepage if sync==false. This increases the number of pages that can be handled by asynchronous compaction thereby reducing stalls. Patch 6 restores filter-awareness to isolate_lru_page for migration. In practice, it means that pages under writeback and pages without a ->migratepage callback will not be isolated for migration. Patch 7 avoids calling direct reclaim if compaction is deferred but makes sure that compaction is only deferred if sync compaction was used. Patch 8 introduces a sync-light migration mechanism that sync compaction uses. The objective is to allow some stalls but to not call ->writepage which can lead to significant user-visible stalls. Patch 9 notes that while we want to abort reclaim ASAP to allow compation to go ahead that we leave a very small window of opportunity for compaction to run. This patch allows more pages to be freed by reclaim but bounds the number to a reasonable level based on the high watermark on each zone. Patch 10 allows slabs to be shrunk even after compaction_ready() is true for one zone. This is to avoid a problem whereby a single small zone can abort reclaim even though no pages have been reclaimed and no suitably large zone is in a usable state. Patch 11 fixes a problem with the rate of page scanning. As reclaim is rarely stalling on pages under writeback it means that scan rates are very high. This is particularly true for direct reclaim which is not calling writepage. The vmstat figures implied that much of this was busy work with PageReclaim pages marked for immediate reclaim. This patch is a prototype that moves these pages to their own LRU list. This has been tested and other than 2 USB keys getting trashed, nothing horrible fell out. That said, I am a bit unhappy with the rescue logic in patch 11 but did not find a better way around it. It does significantly reduce scan rates and System CPU time indicating it is the right direction to take. What is of critical importance is that stalls due to compaction are massively reduced even though sync compaction was still allowed. Testing from people complaining about stalls copying to USBs with THP enabled are particularly welcome. The following tests all involve THP usage and USB keys in some way. Each test follows this type of pattern 1. Read from some fast fast storage, be it raw device or file. Each time the copy finishes, start again until the test ends 2. Write a large file to a filesystem on a USB stick. Each time the copy finishes, start again until the test ends 3. When memory is low, start an alloc process that creates a mapping the size of physical memory to stress THP allocation. This is the "real" part of the test and the part that is meant to trigger stalls when THP is enabled. Copying continues in the background. 4. Record the CPU usage and time to execute of the alloc process 5. Record the number of THP allocs and fallbacks as well as the number of THP pages in use a the end of the test just before alloc exited 6. Run the test 5 times to get an idea of variability 7. Between each run, sync is run and caches dropped and the test waits until nr_dirty is a small number to avoid interference or caching between iterations that would skew the figures.

The main thing to watch is the elapsed times and how they compare to times when THP is enabled later.

Applying the patches brings performance in line with THP-disabled performance while isolating pages for immediate reclaim from the LRU cuts down System CPU time. The "Fault Alloc" success rate figures are also improved. The vanilla kernel only managed to allocate 76.6 pages on average over the course of 5 iterations where as applying the series allocated 181.20 on average albeit it is well within variance. It's worth noting that applies the series at least descreases the amount of variance which implies an improvement. Andrea's series had a higher success rate for THP allocations but at a severe cost to elapsed time which is still better than vanilla but still much worse than disabling THP altogether. One can bring my series close to Andrea's by removing this check /* * If compaction is deferred for high-order allocations, it is because * sync compaction recently failed. In this is the case and the caller * has requested the system not be heavily disrupted, fail the * allocation now instead of entering direct reclaim */ if (deferred_compaction && (gfp_mask & __GFP_NO_KSWAPD)) goto nopage; I didn't include a patch that removed the above check because hurting overall performance to improve the THP figure is not what the average user wants. It's something to consider though if someone really wants to maximise THP usage no matter what it does to the workload initially. This is summary of vmstat figures from the same test. 3.1.0-vanilla rc5-vanilla freemore-v6r1 isolate-v6r1 andrea-v2r1 Page Ins 3257266139 1111844061 17263623 10901575 161423219 Page Outs 81054922 30364312 3626530 3657687 8753730 Swap Ins 3294 2851 6560 4964 4592 Swap Outs 390073 528094 620197 790912 698285 Direct pages scanned 1077581700 3024951463 1764930052 115140570 5901188831 Kswapd pages scanned 34826043 7112868 2131265 1686942 1893966 Kswapd pages reclaimed 28950067 4911036 1246044 966475 1497726 Direct pages reclaimed 805148398 280167837 3623473 2215044 40809360 Kswapd efficiency 83% 69% 58% 57% 79% Kswapd velocity 664.399 622.521 4253.852 7304.360 751.490 Direct efficiency 74% 9% 0% 1% 0% Direct velocity 20557.737 264745.137 3522673.849 498551.938 2341481.435 Percentage direct scans 96% 99% 99% 98% 99% Page writes by reclaim 722646 529174 620319 791018 699198 Page writes file 332573 1080 122 106 913 Page writes anon 390073 528094 620197 790912 698285 Page reclaim immediate 0 2552514720 1635858848 111281140 5478375032 Page rescued immediate 0 0 0 87848 0 Slabs scanned 23552 23552 9216 8192 9216 Direct inode steals 231 0 0 0 0 Kswapd inode steals 0 0 0 0 0 Kswapd skipped wait 28076 786 0 61 6 THP fault alloc 609 383 753 906 1433 THP collapse alloc 12 6 0 0 6 THP splits 536 211 456 593 1136 THP fault fallback 4406 4633 4263 4110 3583 THP collapse fail 120 127 0 0 4 Compaction stalls 1810 728 623 779 3200 Compaction success 196 53 60 80 123 Compaction failures 1614 675 563 699 3077 Compaction pages moved 193158 53545 243185 333457 226688 Compaction move failure 9952 9396 16424 23676 45070 The main things to look at are 1. Page In/out figures are much reduced by the series. 2. Direct page scanning is incredibly high (264745.137 pages scanned per second on the vanilla kernel) but isolating PageReclaim pages on their own list reduces the number of pages scanned significantly. 3. The fact that "Page rescued immediate" is a positive number implies that we sometimes race removing pages from the LRU_IMMEDIATE list that need to be put back on a normal LRU but it happens only for 0.07% of the pages marked for immediate reclaim. writebackCPDeviceext4 3.1.0-vanilla rc5-vanilla freemore-v6r1 isolate-v6r1 andrea-v2r1 System Time 1.51 ( 0.00%) 1.77 ( -17.66%) 1.46 ( 2.92%) 1.15 ( 23.77%) 1.89 ( -25.63%) +/- 0.27 ( 0.00%) 0.67 ( -148.52%) 0.33 ( -22.76%) 0.30 ( -11.15%) 0.19 ( 30.16%) User Time 0.03 ( 0.00%) 0.04 ( -37.50%) 0.05 ( -62.50%) 0.07 ( -112.50%) 0.04 ( -18.75%) +/- 0.01 ( 0.00%) 0.02 ( -146.64%) 0.02 ( -97.91%) 0.02 ( -75.59%) 0.02 ( -63.30%) Elapsed Time 124.93 ( 0.00%) 114.49 ( 8.36%) 96.77 ( 22.55%) 27.48 ( 78.00%) 205.70 ( -64.65%) +/- 20.20 ( 0.00%) 74.39 ( -268.34%) 59.88 ( -196.48%) 7.72 ( 61.79%) 25.03 ( -23.95%) THP Active 161.80 ( 0.00%) 83.60 ( 51.67%) 141.20 ( 87.27%) 84.60 ( 52.29%) 82.60 ( 51.05%) +/- 71.95 ( 0.00%) 43.80 ( 60.88%) 26.91 ( 37.40%) 59.02 ( 82.03%) 52.13 ( 72.45%) Fault Alloc 471.40 ( 0.00%) 228.60 ( 48.49%) 282.20 ( 59.86%) 225.20 ( 47.77%) 388.40 ( 82.39%) +/- 88.07 ( 0.00%) 87.42 ( 99.26%) 73.79 ( 83.78%) 109.62 ( 124.47%) 82.62 ( 93.81%) Fault Fallback 531.60 ( 0.00%) 774.60 ( -45.71%) 720.80 ( -35.59%) 777.80 ( -46.31%) 614.80 ( -15.65%) +/- 88.07 ( 0.00%) 87.26 ( 0.92%) 73.79 ( 16.22%) 109.62 ( -24.47%) 82.29 ( 6.56%) MMTests Statistics: duration User/Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 50.22 33.76 30.65 24.14 128.45 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 1113.73 1132.19 1029.45 759.49 1707.26 Similar test but the USB stick is using ext4 instead of vfat. As ext4 does not use writepage for migration, the large stalls due to compaction when THP is enabled are not observed. Still, isolating PageReclaim pages on their own list helped completion time largely by reducing the number of pages scanned by direct reclaim although time spend in congestion_wait could also be a factor. Again, Andrea's series had far higher success rates for THP allocation at the cost of elapsed time. I didn't look too closely but a quick look at the vmstat figures tells me kswapd reclaimed 8 times more pages than the patch series and direct reclaim reclaimed roughly three times as many pages. It follows that if memory is aggressively reclaimed, there will be more available for THP. writebackCPFilevfat 3.1.0-vanilla rc5-vanilla freemore-v6r1 isolate-v6r1 andrea-v2r1 System Time 1.76 ( 0.00%) 29.10 (-1555.52%) 46.01 (-2517.18%) 4.79 ( -172.35%) 54.89 (-3022.53%) +/- 0.14 ( 0.00%) 25.61 (-18185.17%) 2.15 (-1434.83%) 6.60 (-4610.03%) 9.75 (-6863.76%) User Time 0.05 ( 0.00%) 0.07 ( -45.83%) 0.05 ( -4.17%) 0.06 ( -29.17%) 0.06 ( -16.67%) +/- 0.02 ( 0.00%) 0.02 ( 20.11%) 0.02 ( -3.14%) 0.01 ( 31.58%) 0.01 ( 47.41%) Elapsed Time 22520.79 ( 0.00%) 1082.85 ( 95.19%) 73.30 ( 99.67%) 32.43 ( 99.86%) 291.84 ( 98.70%) +/- 7277.23 ( 0.00%) 706.29 ( 90.29%) 19.05 ( 99.74%) 17.05 ( 99.77%) 125.55 ( 98.27%) THP Active 83.80 ( 0.00%) 12.80 ( 15.27%) 15.60 ( 18.62%) 13.00 ( 15.51%) 0.80 ( 0.95%) +/- 66.81 ( 0.00%) 20.19 ( 30.22%) 5.92 ( 8.86%) 15.06 ( 22.54%) 1.17 ( 1.75%) Fault Alloc 171.00 ( 0.00%) 67.80 ( 39.65%) 97.40 ( 56.96%) 125.60 ( 73.45%) 133.00 ( 77.78%) +/- 82.91 ( 0.00%) 30.69 ( 37.02%) 53.91 ( 65.02%) 55.05 ( 66.40%) 21.19 ( 25.56%) Fault Fallback 832.00 ( 0.00%) 935.20 ( -12.40%) 906.00 ( -8.89%) 877.40 ( -5.46%) 870.20 ( -4.59%) +/- 82.91 ( 0.00%) 30.69 ( 62.98%) 54.01 ( 34.86%) 55.05 ( 33.60%) 20.91 ( 74.78%) MMTests Statistics: duration User/Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 7229.81 928.42 704.52 80.68 1330.76 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 112849.04 5618.69 571.11 360.54 1664.28 In this case, the test is reading/writing only from filesystems but as it's vfat, it's slow due to calling writepage during compaction.

In this case, allocation success rates are roughtly the same. As before, Andrea's has higher success rates but takes a lot longer. Overall the series does reduce latencies and while the tests are inherency racy as alloc competes with the cp processes, the variability was included. The THP allocation rates are not as high as they could be but that is because we would have to be more aggressive about reclaim and compaction impacting overall performance. This patch: Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware") noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list. What was missed during review is that asynchronous migration moves dirty pages if their ->migratepage callback is migrate_page() because these can be moved without blocking. This potentially impacted hugepage allocation success rates by a factor depending on how many dirty pages are in the system. This patch partially reverts 39deaf85 to allow migration to isolate dirty pages again. This increases how much compaction disrupts the LRU but that is addressed later in the series.

This isn't a problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush() under x86 will flush entire TLB. But this is confusion and could be missed if thp is ported to other arch. Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in __tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli. The __tlb_remove_page() function is supposed to be called after tlb_remove_xxx_tlb_entry() and we can catch any misuse.

This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU. By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check bits on pc->flags. This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin. But in most case, lru handling gets faster. After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.

Now, the lru where the page should be added is determined a bit in page_cgroup->flags and pc->mem_cgroup. I'd like to remove the check of flag. To handle the case pc->mem_cgroup may contain stale pointers if pages are added to LRU before classification. This patch resets pc->mem_cgroup to root_mem_cgroup before lru additions.

* | oom, memcg: fix exclusion of memcg threads after they have detached their mmDavid Rientjes2012-01-121-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The oom killer relies on logic that identifies threads that have already been oom killed when scanning the tasklist and, if found, deferring until such threads have exited. This is done by checking for any candidate threads that have the TIF_MEMDIE bit set. For memcg ooms, candidate threads are first found by calling task_in_mem_cgroup() since the oom killer should not defer if there's an oom killed thread in another memcg. Unfortunately, task_in_mem_cgroup() excludes threads if they have detached their mm in the process of exiting so TIF_MEMDIE is never detected for such conditions. This is different for global, mempolicy, and cpuset oom conditions where a detached mm is only excluded after checking for TIF_MEMDIE and deferring, if necessary, in select_bad_process(). The fix is to return true if a task has a detached mm but is still in the memcg or its hierarchy that is currently oom. This will allow the oom killer to appropriately defer rather than kill unnecessarily or, in the worst case, panic the machine if nothing else is available to kill.

Include the array check only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set and save the unnecessary check in production kernels.

* | mm: memcg: lookup_page_cgroup (almost) never returns NULLJohannes Weiner2012-01-121-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pages have their corresponding page_cgroup descriptors set up before they are used in userspace, and thus managed by a memory cgroup. The only time where lookup_page_cgroup() can return NULL is in the CONFIG_DEBUG_VM-only page sanity checking code that executes while feeding pages into the page allocator for the first time. Remove the NULL checks against lookup_page_cgroup() results from all callsites where we know that corresponding page_cgroup descriptors must be allocated, and add a comment to the callsite that actually does have to check the return value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fault accounting functions have a single, memcg-internal user, so they don't need to be global. In fact, their one-line bodies can be directly folded into the caller. And since faults happen one at a time, use this_cpu_inc() directly instead of this_cpu_add(foo, 1).
