[PATCH] mm: Remove the redundant updating of stats_flush_threshold

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: jiebin sun <jiebin.sun@xxxxxxxxx>

Remove the redundant updating of stats_flush_threshold. If the
global var stats_flush_threshold has exceeded the trigger value
for __mem_cgroup_flush_stats, further increment is unnecessary.

Apply the patch and test the pts/hackbench-1.0.0 Count:4 (160 threads).

Score gain: 1.95x
Reduce CPU cycles in __mod_memcg_lruvec_state (44.88% -> 0.12%)

CPU: ICX 8380 x 2 sockets
Core number: 40 x 2 physical cores
Benchmark: pts/hackbench-1.0.0 Count:4 (160 threads)
