To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab()
for shrinkers, which already do not have any charged
objects in a memcg, their bits have to be cleared.
This patch introduces new return value SHRINK_EMPTY,
which will be used in case of there is no charged
objects in shrinker. We can't use 0 instead of that,
as a shrinker may return 0, when it has very small
amount of objects.
To prevent race with parallel list lru add, we call
do_shrink_slab() once again, after the bit is cleared.
So, if there is a new object, we never miss it, and
the bit will be restored again.
The below test shows significant performance growths
after using the patchset:
$echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.use_hierarchy
$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
$echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
$for i in `seq 0 4000`; do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i; echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i/cgroup.procs; mkdir -p s/$i; mount -t tmpfs $i s/$i; touch s/$i/file; done
Then 4 drop_caches:
$time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
Times of drop_caches:

4.61s/0.01s = 461 times faster.
