Like global slab shrink, since commit 1cd0bd06093c ("rcu: Remove CONFIG_SRCU"), it's time to use SRCU to protect readers who previously held shrinker_rwsem. We can test with the following script: ``` DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt" do_create() { mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test echo 200M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes for i in `seq 0 $1`; do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i; echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs; mkdir -p $DIR/$i; done } do_mount() { for i in `seq $1 $2`; do mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i; done } do_touch() { for i in `seq $1 $2`; do echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs; dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 & done } do_create 2000 do_mount 0 2000 do_touch 0 1000 ``` Before applying: 46.60% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock 18.70% [kernel] [k] up_read 15.44% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab 4.37% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit 2.75% [kernel] [k] xa_load 2.07% [kernel] [k] idr_find 1.73% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab 1.42% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec 0.74% [kernel] [k] shrink_node 0.60% [kernel] [k] list_lru_count_one After applying: 19.53% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit 14.63% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab 14.58% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab 11.83% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec 9.33% [kernel] [k] __blk_flush_plug 6.67% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter 3.73% [kernel] [k] list_lru_count_one 2.43% [kernel] [k] shrink_node 1.96% [kernel] [k] super_cache_count 1.78% [kernel] [k] __rcu_read_unlock 1.38% [kernel] [k] __srcu_read_lock 1.30% [kernel] [k] xas_descend We can see that the readers is no longer blocked.
