Hi Shakeel,
Try the following patch, the data of 'perf top' from system wide indicates that
the overhead of page_counter_cancel is dropped from 15.52% to 4.82%.
Without patch:
15.52% [kernel] [k] page_counter_cancel
12.30% [kernel] [k] page_counter_try_charge
11.97% [kernel] [k] try_charge_memcg
With patch:
10.63% [kernel] [k] page_counter_try_charge
9.49% [kernel] [k] try_charge_memcg
4.82% [kernel] [k] page_counter_cancel
The patch is applied on the latest net-next/main:
befcc1fce564 ("sfc: fix use-after-free in efx_tc_flower_record_encap_match()")
