This patchset move lru_lock into lruvec, give a lru_lock for each of
lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg.
Per memcg lru_lock would ease the lru_lock contention a lot in
this patch series.
In some data center, containers are used widely to deploy different kind
of services, then multiple memcgs share per node pgdat->lru_lock which
cause heavy lock contentions when doing lru operation.
On my 2 socket * 6 cores E5-2630 platform, 24 containers run aim9
simultaneously with mmtests' config:
# AIM9
export AIM9_TESTTIME=180
export AIM9_TESTLIST=page_test,brk_test
perf lock report show much contentions on lru_lock in 20 second snapshot:
Name acquired contended avg wait (ns) total wait (ns) max wait (ns) min wait (ns)
&(ptlock_ptr(pag... 22 0 0 0 0 0
...
&(&pgdat->lru_lo... 9 7 12728 89096 26656 1597
With this patch series, lruvec->lru_lock show no contentions
&(&lruvec->lru_l... 8 0 0 0 0 0
and aim9 page_test/brk_test performance increased 5%~50%.
BTW, Detailed results in aim9-pft.compare.log if needed,
All containers data are increased and pretty steady.
