mm: memcg: use rstat for non-hierarchical stats
Commit Message
Currently, memcg uses rstat to maintain hierarchical stats. The rstat
framework keeps track of which cgroups have updates on which cpus.
For non-hierarchical stats, as memcg moved to rstat, they are no longer
readily available as counters. Instead, the percpu counters for a given
stat need to be summed to get the non-hierarchical stat value. This
causes a performance regression when reading non-hierarchical stats on
kernels where memcg moved to using rstat. This is especially visible
when reading memory.stat on cgroup v1. There are also some code paths
internal to the kernel that read such non-hierarchical stats.
It is inefficient to iterate and sum counters in all cpus when the rstat
framework knows exactly when a percpu counter has an update. Instead,
maintain cpu-aggregated non-hierarchical counters for each stat. During
an rstat flush, keep those updated as well. When reading
non-hierarchical stats, we no longer need to iterate cpus, we just need
to read the maintainer counters, similar to hierarchical stats.
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
