[RFC PATCH 12/15] mm: memcontrol: introduce memcg_reparent_ops

From: Muchun Song
Date: Tue Mar 30 2021 - 06:23:53 EST


In the previous patch, we know how to make the lruvec lock safe when the
LRU pages reparented. We should do something like following.

memcg_reparent_objcgs(memcg)
1) lock
// lruvec belongs to memcg and lruvec_parent belongs to parent memcg.
spin_lock(&lruvec->lru_lock);
spin_lock(&lruvec_parent->lru_lock);

2) do reparent
// Move all the pages from the lruvec list to the parent lruvec list.

3) unlock
spin_unlock(&lruvec_parent->lru_lock);
spin_unlock(&lruvec->lru_lock);

Apart from the page lruvec lock, the deferred split queue lock (THP only)
also needs to do something similar. So we extracted the necessary 3 steps
in the memcg_reparent_objcgs().

memcg_reparent_objcgs(memcg)
1) lock
memcg_reparent_ops->lock(memcg, parent);

2) reparent
memcg_reparent_ops->reparent(memcg, reparent);

3) unlock
memcg_reparent_ops->unlock(memcg, reparent);

Now there are two different locks (e.g. lruvec lock and deferred split
queue lock) need to use this infrastructure. In the next patch, we will
use those APIs to make those locks safe when the LRU pages reparented.
