[Devel] [PATCH v12 09/18] vmscan: shrink slab on memcg pressure

Vladimir Davydov vdavydov at parallels.com
Mon Dec 2 03:19:44 PST 2013


This patch makes direct reclaim path shrink slabs not only on global
memory pressure, but also when we reach memory cgroup limit. To achieve
that, it introduces a new per-shrinker flag, SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE, which
should be set if the shrinker can handle per-memcg reclaim. For such
shrinkers, shrink_slab() will iterate over all eligible memory cgroups
(i.e. the cgroup that triggered the reclaim and all its descendants) and
pass the current memory cgroup to the shrinker in shrink_control.memcg
just like it passes the current NUMA node to NUMA-aware shrinkers.  It
is completely up to memcg-aware shrinkers how to organize objects in
order to provide required functionality. Currently none of the existing
shrinkers is memcg-aware, but next patches will introduce per-memcg
list_lru, which will facilitate the process of turning shrinkers that
use list_lru to be memcg-aware.

The number of slab objects scanned on memcg pressure is calculated in
the same way as on global pressure - it is proportional to the number of
pages scanned over the number of pages eligible for reclaim (i.e. the
number of on-LRU pages in the target memcg and all its descendants) -
except we do not employ the nr_deferred per-shrinker counter to avoid
memory cgroup isolation issues. Ideally, this counter should be made
per-memcg.
