memcg: disable kmem charging in nmi for unsupported arch
Patch series "memcg: nmi-safe kmem charging", v4.
Users can attached their BPF programs at arbitrary execution points in the
kernel and such BPF programs may run in nmi context. In addition, these
programs can trigger memcg charged kernel allocations in the nmi context.
However memcg charging infra for kernel memory is not equipped to handle
nmi context for all architectures.
This series removes the hurdles to enable kmem charging in the nmi context
for most of the archs. For archs without CONFIG_HAVE_NMI, this series is
a noop. For archs with NMI support and have
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS, the previous work to make memcg
stats re-entrant is sufficient for allowing kmem charging in nmi context.
For archs with NMI support but without
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and with ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG,
this series added infra to support kmem charging in nmi context. Lastly
those archs with NMI support but without
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, kmem
charging in nmi context is not supported at all.
Mostly used archs have support for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS
and this series should be almost a noop (other than making
memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe) for such archs.
This patch (of 5):
The memcg accounting and stats uses this_cpu* and atomic* ops. There are
archs which define CONFIG_HAVE_NMI but does not define
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so
memcg accounting for such archs in nmi context is not possible to support.
Let's just disable memcg accounting in nmi context for such archs.
