memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accounting
When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where
global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the
per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at
this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break
down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
messages).
The ability to move page accounting between memcg
(memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
complicated than the global counter. The existing
mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
accounting with stat updates.
Typical update operation:
memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
[...]
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
}
mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
- Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
rcu_read_lock()
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's
rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
adjustments are needed:
- move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
__mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
- use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
__delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

Performance tests run on v4.0-rc1-36-g4f671fe2f952. Lower is better for
all metrics, they're all wall clock or cycle counts. The read and write
fault benchmarks just measure fault time, they do not include I/O time.

As expected anon page faults are not affected by this patch.
