Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/2] memcg: avoiding unnecessary get_page at
 move_charge

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

CC'ed to Mel and Chrisotph, KOSAKi because I wanted to be double-cheked
that I miss something important at isolate_lru_page().

Checking perofrmance of memcg's move_account with perf, you may notice
that put_page() is too much.
#
# Overhead  Command      Shared Object                                 Symbol
# ........  .......  .................  .....................................

    14.24%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] put_page
    12.80%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] isolate_lru_page
     9.67%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] is_target_pte_for_mc
     8.11%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ____pagevec_lru_add
     7.22%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] putback_lru_page

This is because mc_handle_present_pte() do get_page(). Then,
page->count is updated 4 times.
	get_page_unless_zero() #1
	isolate_lru_page()
	putback_lru_page()
	put_page()

But above is called all under pte_offset_map_lock().
get_page_unless_zero() #1 is not necessary because we do all under a
pte_offset_map_lock().

isolate_lru_page()'s comment says 
 # Restrictions:
 # (1) Must be called with an elevated refcount on the page. This is a
 #     fundamentnal difference from isolate_lru_pages (which is called
 #     without a stable reference).

So, current implemnation does get_page_unless_zero() explicitly but
holding pte_lock() implies a stable reference. I removed #1.

Then, Performance will be
[Before Patch]
[root@...extal kamezawa]# time echo 2530 > /cgroup/B/tasks

real    0m0.792s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.780s

[After Patch]
[root@...extal kamezawa]# time echo 2257 > /cgroup/B/tasks

real    0m0.694s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.683s

perf's log is
    10.82%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] isolate_lru_page
    10.01%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mem_cgroup_move_account
     8.75%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] is_target_pte_for_mc
     8.52%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ____pagevec_lru_add
     6.90%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] putback_lru_page
     6.36%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mem_cgroup_add_lru_list
     6.22%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mem_cgroup_del_lru_list
     5.68%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] lookup_page_cgroup
     5.28%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __lru_cache_add
     5.00%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] release_pages
     3.79%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
     3.52%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] memcg_check_events
     3.38%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] bit_spin_lock
     3.25%     echo  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] put_page

seems nice. I updated isolate_lru_page()'s comment, too.

# Note: isolate_lru_page() is necessary before account move for avoinding
        memcg's LRU manipulation.
