Hello.

Maybe this is a mismatch in vocabulary what you mean by the verb "limit". But I don't see in the patchset that the offending pages would be allocated with GFP_ACCOUNT. So the result is that the pages are accounted (you can view the amount in memory.stat) but they are not subject to memcg limits. Is that what you intend? Regards, Michal

Hi Michal, Thank you for taking a look at this. The two patches [1] [2] which add GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT were sent separate from this series at request of reviewers: Pasha [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231226182827.294158-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130200900.2320829-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com > > > Regards, > Michal

Though, I mean the patch 02/10 calls iommu_alloc_pages() with GFP_KERNEL (and not a passed gfp from iommu_map). Then patch 09/10 accounts all iommu_alloc_pages() under NR_IOMMU_PAGES. I think there is a difference between what's shown NR_IOMMU_PAGES and what will have __GFP_ACCOUNT because of that. I.e. is it the intention that this difference is not subject to limiting? (Note: I'm not familiar with iommu code and moreover I'm only looking at the two patch sets, not the complete code applied. So you may correct my reasoning.) Thanks, Michal

Yes, we will have a difference between GFP_ACCOUNT and what NR_IOMMU_PAGES shows. GFP_ACCOUNT is set only where it makes sense to charge to user processes, i.e. IOMMU Page Tables, but there more IOMMU shared data that should not really be charged to a specific process. The charged and uncharged data will be visible via /proc/vmstat nr_iommu_pages field.

I'd suggest adding this explanation to commit 10/10 message (perhaps with some ballpark numbers of pages). In order to have a reference and understadning if someone decided to charge (and limit) all in the future. Thanks, Michal
