Subject: [PATCH] Help Resource Counters Scale better (v4.1)
Hi, Andrew,
Does this look better, could you please replace the older patch with
this one.
1. I did a quick compile test
2. Ran scripts/checkpatch.pl
From: Balbir Singh <balbir@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Enhancement: Remove the overhead of root based resource counter accounting
This patch reduces the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock)
associated with the root cgroup. This is a part of the several
patches to reduce mem cgroup overhead. I had posted other
approaches earlier (including using percpu counters). Those
patches will be a natural addition and will be added iteratively
on top of these.
The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup.
The data for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain
via mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable).
What happens today is that, we do double accounting, once using
res_counter_charge() and once using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics().
For the root, since we don't implement limits any more, we don't
need to track every charge via res_counter_charge() and check
for limit being exceeded and reclaim.
The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing
the cache and rss usage data from memory statistics
(MEM_CGRUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE). However, for
memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need additional data about
swapped out memory. This patch adds a MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT
and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE
to derive the memsw data.
The tests results I see on a 24 way show that
1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats
2. The results of the test are comparable to running with
cgroup_disable=memory.
Here is a sample of my program runs

For a single run
Without patch

NOTE: The data looks counterintuitive due to the increased performance
with the patch, even over the config being turned off. We probably need
more runs, but so far all testing has shown that the patches definitely
help.
