Subject: [PATCH 4/5] memcg: lockless update of file_mapped
No changes from v4.
==
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>
At accounting file events per memory cgroup, we need to find memory cgroup
via page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. Now, we use lock_page_cgroup().
But, considering the context which page-cgroup for files are accessed,
we can use alternative light-weight mutual execusion in the most case.
At handling file-caches, the only race we have to take care of is "moving"
account, IOW, overwriting page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. Because file status
update is done while the page-cache is in stable state, we don't have to
take care of race with charge/uncharge.
Unlike charge/uncharge, "move" happens not so frequently. It happens only when
rmdir() and task-moving (with a special settings.)
This patch adds a race-checker for file-cache-status accounting v.s. account
moving. The new per-cpu-per-memcg counter MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE is added.
The routine for account move
1. Increment it before start moving
2. Call synchronize_rcu()
3. Decrement it after the end of moving.
By this, file-status-counting routine can check it needs to call
lock_page_cgroup(). In most case, I doesn't need to call it.
Changelog: 20100804
- added a comment for possible optimization hint.
Changelog: 20100730
- some cleanup.
Changelog: 20100729
- replaced __this_cpu_xxx() with this_cpu_xxx
(because we don't call spinlock)
- added VM_BUG_ON().
