Page Migration + One of the most complicated functions is page-migration-handler. + Memcg has 2 routines. Assume that we are migrating a page's contents + from OLDPAGE to NEWPAGE. + + Usual migration logic is.. + (a) remove the page from LRU. + (b) allocate NEWPAGE (migration target) + (c) lock by lock_page(). + (d) unmap all mappings. + (e-1) If necessary, replace entry in radix-tree. + (e-2) move contents of a page. + (f) map all mappings again. + (g) pushback the page to LRU. + (-) OLDPAGE will be freed. + + Before (g), memcg should complete all necessary charge/uncharge to + NEWPAGE/OLDPAGE. + + The point is.... + - If OLDPAGE is anonymous, all charges will be dropped at (d) because + try_to_unmap() drops all mapcount and the page will not be + SwapCache. + + - If OLDPAGE is SwapCache, charges will be kept at (g) because + __delete_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1) + + - If OLDPAGE is page-cache, charges will be kept at (g) because + remove_from_swap_cache() isn't called at (e-1) + + memcg provides following hooks. + + - mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(OLDPAGE) + Called after (b) to account a charge (usage += PAGE_SIZE) against + memcg which OLDPAGE belongs to. + + - mem_cgroup_end_migration(OLDPAGE, NEWPAGE) + Called after (f) before (g). + If OLDPAGE is used, commit OLDPAGE again. If OLDPAGE is already + charged, a charge by prepare_migration() is automatically canceled. + If NEWPAGE is used, commit NEWPAGE and uncharge OLDPAGE. + + But zap_pte() (by exit or munmap) can be called while migration, + we have to check if OLDPAGE/NEWPAGE is a valid page after commit(). + +8. LRU + Each memcg has its own private LRU. Now, it's handling is under global + VM's control (means that it's handled under global zone->lru_lock). + Almost all routines around memcg's LRU is called by global LRU's + list management functions under zone->lru_lock(). + + A special function is mem_cgroup_isolate_pages(). This scans + memcg's private LRU and call __isolate_lru_page() to extract a page + from LRU. + (By __isolate_lru_page(), the page is removed from both of global and + private LRU.) + + +9. Typical Tests. + + Tests for racy cases. + + 9.1 Small limit to memcg. + When you do test to do racy case, it's good test to set memcg's limit + to be very small rather than GB. Many races found in the test under + xKB or xxMB limits. + (Memory behavior under GB and Memory behavior under MB shows very + different situation.) + + 9.2 Shmem + Historically, memcg's shmem handling was poor and we saw some amount + of troubles here. This is because shmem is page-cache but can be + SwapCache. Test with shmem/tmpfs is always good test. + + 9.3 Migration + For NUMA, migration is an another special case.
