With the infrastructure we now have, we can add an element to a memcg
LRU list instead of the global list. The memcg lists are still
per-node.
Technically, we will never trigger per-node shrinking in the memcg is
short of memory. Therefore an alternative to this would be to add the
element to *both* a single-node memcg array and a per-node global array.
There are two main reasons for this design choice:
1) adding an extra list_head to each of the objects would waste 16-bytes
per object, always remembering that we are talking about 1 dentry + 1
inode in the common case. This means a close to 10 % increase in the
dentry size, and a lower yet significant increase in the inode size. In
terms of total memory, this design pays 32-byte per-superblock-per-node
(size of struct list_lru_node), which means that in any scenario where
we have more than 10 dentries + inodes, we would already be paying more
memory in the two-list-heads approach than we will here with 1 node x 10
superblocks. The turning point of course depends on the workload, but I
hope the figures above would convince you that the memory footprint is
in my side in any workload that matters.
2) The main drawback of this, namely, that we loose global LRU order, is
not really seen by me as a disadvantage: if we are using memcg to
isolate the workloads, global pressure should try to balance the amount
reclaimed from all memcgs the same way the shrinkers will already
naturally balance the amount reclaimed from each superblock. (This
patchset needs some love in this regard, btw).
To help us easily tracking down which nodes have and which nodes doesn't
have elements in the list, we will count on an auxiliary node bitmap in
the global level.
