Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: memcg: use rstat for non-hierarchical stats
Currently, memcg uses rstat to maintain hierarchical stats. Counters are
maintained for hierarchical stats at each memcg. Rstat tracks which
cgroups have updates on which cpus to keep those counters fresh on the
read-side.
For non-hierarchical stats, we do not maintain counters. Instead, the
percpu counters for a given stat need to be summed to get the
non-hierarchical stat value. The original implementation did the same.
At some point before rstat, non-hierarchical counters were introduced by
commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting"). However, those counters were updated on the
performance critical write-side, which caused regressions, so they were
later removed by commit 815744d75152 ("mm: memcontrol: don't batch
updates of local VM stats and events"). See [1] for more detailed
history.
Kernel versions in between a983b5ebee57 & 815744d75152 (a year and a
half) enjoyed cheap reads of non-hierarchical stats, specifically on
cgroup v1. When moving to more recent kernels, a performance regression
for reading non-hierarchical stats is observed.
Now that we have rstat, we know exactly which percpu counters have
updates for each stat. We can maintain non-hierarchical counters again,
making reads much more efficient, without affecting the performance
critical write-side. Hence, add non-hierarchical (i.e local) counters
for the stats, and extend rstat flushing to keep those up-to-date.
A caveat is that we now a stats flush before reading
local/non-hierarchical stats through {memcg/lruvec}_page_state_local()
or memcg_events_local(), where we previously only needed a flush to
read hierarchical stats. Most contexts reading non-hierarchical stats
are already doing a flush, add a flush to the only missing context in
count_shadow_nodes().
With this patch, reading memory.stat from 1000 memcgs is 3x faster on a
machine with 256 cpus on cgroup v1:
# for i in $(seq 1000); do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cg$i; done
# time cat /dev/cgroup/memory/cg*/memory.stat > /dev/null
real 0m0.125s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.120s
After:
real 0m0.032s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.027s

v1 -> v2:
- Rewrite the changelog based on the history context provided by
Johannes (Thanks!).
- Fix a subtle bug where updating a local counter would be missed if it
was cancelled out by a pending update from child memcgs.
