[RFC PATCH 3/5] memcg: Add per-device support to memory cgroup subsystem

Brian Welty brian.welty at intel.com
Wed May 1 14:04:36 UTC 2019


Here we update memory cgroup to enable the newly introduced per-device
framework.  As mentioned in the prior patch, the intent here is to allow
drivers to have their own private cgroup controls (such as memory limit)
to be applied to device resources instead of host system resources.

In summary, to enable device registration for memory cgroup subsystem:
  *  set .allow_devices to true
  *  add new exported device register and device unregister functions
     to register a device with the cgroup subsystem
  *  implement the .device_css_alloc callback to create device
     specific cgroups_subsys_state within a cgroup

As cgroup is created and for current registered devices, one will see in
the cgroup filesystem these additional files:
  mount/<cgroup_name>/memory.devices/<dev_name>/<mem_cgrp attributes>

Registration of a new device is performed in device drivers using new
mem_cgroup_device_register(). This will create above files in existing
cgroups.

And for runtime charging to the cgroup, we add the following:
  *  add new routine to lookup the device-specific cgroup_subsys_state
     which is within the task's cgroup (mem_cgroup_device_from_task)
  *  add new functions for device specific 'direct' charging

The last point above involves adding new mem_cgroup_try_charge_direct
and mem_cgroup_uncharge_direct functions.  The 'direct' name is to say
that we are charging the specified cgroup state directly and not using
any associated page or mm_struct.  We are called within device specific
memory management routines, where the device driver will track which
cgroup to charge within its own private data structures.

With this initial submission, support for memory accounting and charging
is functional.  Nested cgroups will correctly maintain the parent for
device-specific state as well, such that hierarchial charging to device
files is supported.
