I wonder.... I just wonder...if we can split a lruvec in a zone into small
pieces of lruvec and have splitted LRU-lock per them, do we need per-memcg-lrulock ?
What per-memcg-lrulock? I don't have it.
last patch splits lruvecs in memcg with the same factor.
It seems per-memcg-lrulock can be much bigger lock than small-lruvec-lock.
(depends on configuraton) and much more complicated..and have to take care
of many things.. If unit of splitting can be specified by boot option,
it seems admins can split a big memcg's per-memcg-lru lock into more small pieces.
lruvec count per memcg can be arbitrary and changeable if cgroup is empty.
This is not in this patch, but it's really easy.
BTW, how to think of default size of splitting ? I wonder splitting lru into
the number of cpus per a node can be a choice. Each cpu may have a chance to
set prefered-pfn-range at page allocation with additional patches.
If we rework page to memcg linking and add direct lruvec-id into page->flags,
we will able to change lruvec before inserting page to lru.
Thus each cpu will always insert pages into its own lruvec in zone.
I have not thought about races yet, but this would be perfect solution.
Thanks,
