Subject: [PATCH 6/6] memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because
it's called very frequently. Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup
and its memcg....this is slow.
This patch adds a global variable to check "a memcg is moving or not".
By this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg.
This makes performance quicker.
Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file,
MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free
the range by madvise() and page fault again. This program causes
26214400 times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows
shows the cost of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().
(please see 'sys' time and think error range is 0.2 - 0.4sec.)
Before the series of patch (linux-next Feb/06)
[kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G
real 0m23.534s
user 0m5.949s
sys 0m17.563s
After the patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
[kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G
real 0m24.268s
user 0m6.059s
sys 0m18.187s
After this patch
[kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G
real 0m23.094s
user 0m6.045s
sys 0m17.030s
