[PATCH 1/2] fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcg

From: Shakeel Butt
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 19:07:21 EST

A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or
unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause
system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the
fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener.

However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the
producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event
producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging scope API which the
producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener.

There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from
dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and
inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the
listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches.

The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as they
are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is unclear
whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events attached to
the inode.

The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event
producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations
to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the
fsnotify_group structure of the listener.

This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size
same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling
the holes.

Changelog since v6:
- Removed Jan's ACK as the code has changed a lot
- Squashed the separate remote charging API path into this one
- Removed kmalloc* & kmem_cache_alloc* APIs and only kept the scope API
- Changed fsnotify remote charging code to use scope API

Changelog since v5:
- None

Changelog since v4:
- Fixed the build for CONFIG_MEMCG=n

Changelog since v3:
- Rebased over Jan's patches.
- Some cleanup based on Amir's comments.

Changelog since v2:
- None

Changelog since v1:
- no more charging fsnotify_mark_connector objects
- Fixed the build for SLOB
