[PATCH] mm: net: memcg accounting for TCP rx zerocopy

From: Shakeel Butt
Date: Tue Jan 12 2021 - 16:42:21 EST


From: Arjun Roy <arjunroy@xxxxxxxxxx>

TCP zerocopy receive is used by high performance network applications to
further scale. For RX zerocopy, the memory containing the network data
filled by network driver is directly mapped into the address space of
high performance applications. To keep the TLB cost low, these
applications unmaps the network memory in big batches. So, this memory
can remain mapped for long time. This can cause memory isolation issue
as this memory becomes unaccounted after getting mapped into the
application address space. This patch adds the memcg accounting for such
memory.

Accounting the network memory comes with its own unique challenge. The
high performance NIC drivers use page pooling to reuse the pages to
eliminate/reduce the expensive setup steps like IOMMU. These drivers
keep an extra reference on the pages and thus we can not depends on the
page reference for the uncharging. The page in the pool may keep a memcg
pinned for arbitrary long time or may get used by other memcg.

This patch decouples the uncharging of the page from the refcnt and
associate it with the map count i.e. the page gets uncharged when the
last address space unmaps it. Now the question what if the driver drops
its reference while the page is still mapped. That is fine as the
address space also holds a reference to the page i.e. the reference
count can not drop to zero before the map count.
