To fix scalability issue, a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive
complexity in memory.stat reporting") made the per-cpu counters
batch-overflow into the global one instead of summing them up on
reads.
While the approach works for statistics which don't care about
controlled errors, it doesn't work for events. For example, when a
process in a cgroup is oom killed, a notification is generated on the
memory.events file. A user reading the file after receiving the
notification must be able to see the increased oom_kill event counter
but often won't be able to due to the per-cpu batching.
The problem the original commit tried to fix was avoiding excessively
high complexity on reads. This can be solved using cgroup_rstat
instead which has the following properties.
* Per-cpu stat updates with a small bookkeeping overhead.
* Lazy, accurate and on-demand hierarchical stat propagation with the
complexity of O(number of cgroups which have been active in the
subtree since last read).
This patch converts event accounting to use cgroup_rstat.
* mem_cgroup_stat_cpu->last_events[] and mem_cgroup->pending_events[]
are added to track propagation. As memcg makes use of both local
and hierarchical stats, mem_cgroup->tree_events[] is added to track
hierarchical numbers.
* The per-cpu counters are unsigned long and the collected counters
are unsigned long long. This makes stat updates simple while
avoiding overflows in the collected counters on 32bit machines. The
existing code used unsigned long longs in some places but didn't
cover enough to avoid overflows.
* memcg_sum_events() and tree_events() are replaced with direct
accesses to mem_cgroup->events[] and ->tree_events[]. The accesses
are wrapped between cgroup_rstat_flush_hold() and
cgroup_rstat_flush_release().
