Now, memory cgroup has 'mem_cgroup_disabled()' in memcontrol.h I made a brief trial to use static_branch() for that function. At doing that, I thought it will be better to implement generic cgroup functions rather than having memory cgroup's its own one. This series consists of 3 patches 1 .... implement cgroup_xxxx_disabled() in generic. 2 .... use jump_label for cgroup_xxxx_disabled() 3 .... remove mem_cgroup_disabled() in memcontrol.c And I post this series for getting review/comments. I'm not sure patches for using jump_label is worth to be merged. I did a test to run a loop while(-) { mmap(1M) touch all pages munmap() } and measured performance score in ROOT cgroup. Here, (Before patch) 182,932,842,128 cycles # 0.000 GHz [33.33%] 192,711,643,877 instructions # 1.05 insns per cycle [49.99%] 761,483,416 cache-references [49.98%] 159,908 cache-misses # 0.021 % of all cache refs [50.00%] 33,253,084,874 branches [33.34%] 109,796,792 branch-misses # 0.33% of all branches [33.34%] 58.289265709 seconds time elapsed (After patch) Performance counter stats for './malloc 1': 183,068,407,487 cycles # 0.000 GHz [33.33%] 191,834,248,678 instructions # 1.05 insns per cycle [50.00%] 798,635,028 cache-references [49.98%] 95,562 cache-misses # 0.012 % of all cache refs [50.00%] 32,755,318,286 branches [33.34%] 77,774,624 branch-misses # 0.24% of all branches [33.34%] 58.332356996 seconds time elapsed There is no differece in 'time' ;) But I got an impression that 'branch' score gets better in several tests.
branch and cache misses are a lot smaller as well. I think this is a win. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
