The pressure_level in memcg v1 provides memory pressure notifications to
the user space. At the moment it provides notifications for three levels
of memory pressure i.e. low, medium and critical, which are defined based
on internal memory reclaim implementation details. More specifically the
ratio of scanned and reclaimed pages during a memory reclaim. However
this is not robust as there are workloads with mostly unreclaimable user
memory or kernel memory.
For v2, the users can use PSI for memory pressure status of the system or
the cgroup. Let's start the deprecation process for pressure_level and
add warnings to gather the info on how the current users are using this
interface and how they can be used to PSI.

The oom_control provides functionality to disable memcg oom-killer,
notifications on oom-kill and reading the stats regarding oom-kills. This
interface was mainly introduced to provide functionality for userspace
oom-killers. However it is not robust enough and only supports OOM
handling in the page fault path.
For v2, the users can use the combination of memory.events notifications,
memory.high and PSI to provide userspace OOM-killing functionality.
Actually LMKD in Android and OOMd in systemd and Meta infrastructure
already use PSI in combination with other stats to implement userspace
OOM-killing.
Let's start the deprecation process for v1 and gather the info on how the
current users are using this interface and work on providing a more robust
functionality in v2.

Memcg v1 provides soft limit functionality for the best effort memory
sharing between multiple workloads on a system. It is usually triggered
through kswapd and at the moment does not reclaim kernel memory.
Memcg v2 provides more straightforward best effort (memory.low) and hard
protection (memory.min) functionalities. Let's initiate the deprecation
of soft limit from v1 and gather if v2 needs something more to move the
existing v1 users to v2 regarding soft limit.

Patch series "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features", v2.
Start the deprecation process of the memcg v1 features which we discussed
during LSFMMBPF 2024 [1]. For now add the warnings to collect the
information on how the current users are using these features. Next we
will work on providing better alternatives in v2 (if needed) and fully
deprecate these features.
Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/974575 [1]
This patch (of 4):
Memcg v1 provides opt-in TCP memory accounting feature. However it is
mostly unused due to its performance impact on the network traffic. In
v2, the TCP memory is accounted in the regular memory usage and is
transparent to the users but they can observe the TCP memory usage through
memcg stats.
Let's initiate the deprecation process of memcg v1's tcp accounting
functionality and add warnings to gather if there are any users and if
there are, collect how they are using it and plan to provide them better
alternative in v2.

Currently, when pids.max limit is breached in the hierarchy, the event
is counted and reported in the cgroup where the forking task resides.
This decouples the limit and the notification caused by the limit making
it hard to detect when the actual limit was effected.
Redefine the pids.events:max as: the number of times the limit of the
cgroup was hit.
(Implementation differentiates also "forkfail" event but this is
currently not exposed as it would better fit into pids.stat. It also
differs from pids.events:max only when pids.max is configured on
non-leaf cgroups.)
Since it changes semantics of the original "max" event, introduce this
change only in the v2 API of the controller and add a cgroup2 mount
option to revert to the legacy behavior.

Patch series "Expose swapcache stat for memcg v1", v2.
Since commit b6038942480e ("mm: memcg: add swapcache stat for memcg v2")
adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2, it seems there is no reason to hide
it in memcg v1. Conversely, with swapcached it is more accurate to
evaluate the available memory for memcg.

This reverts commits 86327e8eb94c ("memcg: drop kmem.limit_in_bytes") and
partially reverts 58056f77502f ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") which have incrementally removed support for the
kernel memory accounting hard limit. Unfortunately it has turned out that
there is still userspace depending on the existence of
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes [1]. The underlying functionality is not
really required but the non-existent file just confuses the userspace
which fails in the result. The patch to fix this on the userspace side
has been submitted but it is hard to predict how it will propagate through
the maze of 3rd party consumers of the software.
Now, reverting alone 86327e8eb94c is not an option because there is
another set of userspace which cannot cope with ENOTSUPP returned when
writing to the file. Therefore we have to go and revisit 58056f77502f as
well. There are two ways to go ahead. Either we give up on the
deprecation and fully revert 58056f77502f as well or we can keep
kmem.limit_in_bytes but make the write a noop and warn about the fact.
This should work for both known breaking workloads which depend on the
existence but do not depend on the hard limit enforcement.
Note to backporters to stable trees. a8c49af3be5f ("memcg: add per-memcg
total kernel memory stat") introduced in 4.18 has added memcg_account_kmem
so the accounting is not done by obj_cgroup_charge_pages directly for v1
anymore. Prior kernels need to add it explicitly (thanks to Johannes for
pointing this out).

kmem.limit_in_bytes (v1 way to limit kernel memory usage) has been
deprecated since 58056f77502f ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate
kmem.limit_in_bytes") merged in 5.16. We haven't heard about any serious
users since then but it seems that the mere presence of the file is
causing more harm thatn good. We (SUSE) have had several bug reports from
customers where Docker based containers started to fail because a write to
kmem.limit_in_bytes has failed.
This was unexpected because runc code only expects ENOENT (kmem disabled)
or EBUSY (tasks already running within cgroup). So a new error code was
unexpected and the whole container startup failed. This has been later
addressed by
https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/commit/52390d68040637dfc77f9fda6bbe70952423d380
so current Docker runtimes do not suffer from the problem anymore. There
are still older version of Docker in use and likely hard to get rid of
completely.
Address this by wiping out the file completely and effectively get back to
pre 4.5 era and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n configuration.
I would recommend backporting to stable trees which have picked up
58056f77502f ("memcg, kmem: further deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes").

Commit e55b9f96860f ("mm: memcontrol: drop dead CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP
config symbol") removed MEMCG_SWAP as it was just a shorthand for
CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SWAP.
The commit also adjusted the documentation but missed reference to
CONFIG_MEM_RES_CTRL_SWAP, which was the previous name of
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP before renaming in commit c255a458055e ("memcg: rename
config variables").
Update the reference to the current state.

Charge moving mode in cgroup1 allows memory to follow tasks as they
migrate between cgroups. This is, and always has been, a questionable
thing to do - for several reasons.
First, it's expensive. Pages need to be identified, locked and isolated
from various MM operations, and reassigned, one by one.
Second, it's unreliable. Once pages are charged to a cgroup, there isn't
always a clear owner task anymore. Cache isn't moved at all, for example.
Mapped memory is moved - but if trylocking or isolating a page fails,
it's arbitrarily left behind. Frequent moving between domains may leave a
task's memory scattered all over the place.
Third, it isn't really needed. Launcher tasks can kick off workload tasks
directly in their target cgroup. Using dedicated per-workload groups
allows fine-grained policy adjustments - no need to move tasks and their
physical pages between control domains. The feature was never
forward-ported to cgroup2, and it hasn't been missed.
Despite it being a niche usecase, the maintenance overhead of supporting
it is enormous. Because pages are moved while they are live and subject
to various MM operations, the synchronization rules are complicated.
There are lock_page_memcg() in MM and FS code, which non-cgroup people
don't understand. In some cases we've been able to shift code and cgroup
API calls around such that we can rely on native locking as much as
possible. But that's fragile, and sometimes we need to hold MM locks for
longer than we otherwise would (pte lock e.g.).
Mark the feature deprecated. Hopefully we can remove it soon.
And backport into -stable kernels so that people who develop against
earlier kernels are warned about this deprecation as early as possible.
