23047a96d7cf ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash detection")
added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction, refault, and
activation paths, as well as locking to the activation path, and the
vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%. While the test in
question is an artificial worst-case scenario that doesn't occur in
real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel at full CPU
speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some optimizations
that can be done in those paths.
Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls. Also, page->mem_cgroup
doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely
need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed.
This cuts down on overhead quite a bit:
