Like global slab shrink, this commit also uses SRCU to make
memcg slab shrink lockless.
We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the
following script:
```
DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt"
do_create()
{
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test
echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
for i in `seq 0 $1`;
do
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/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 $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 &
done
}
case "$1" in
touch)
do_touch $2 $3
;;
test)
do_create 4000
do_mount 0 4000
do_touch 0 3000
;;
*)
exit 1
;;
esac
```
Save the above script, then run test and touch commands.
Then we can use the following perf command to view hotspots:
perf top -U -F 999
1) Before applying this patchset:
32.31% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
19.40% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
16.24% [kernel] [k] up_read
15.70% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
4.69% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
2.62% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
1.78% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
0.76% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
2) After applying this patchset:
27.83% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
16.97% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
15.82% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
9.58% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
8.31% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
5.64% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
3.88% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
At the same time, we use the following perf command to capture
IPC information:
perf stat -e cycles,instructions -G test -a --repeat 5 -- sleep 10
1) Before applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
454187219766 cycles test ( +- 1.84% )
78896433101 instructions test # 0.17 insn per cycle ( +- 0.44% )
10.0020430 +- 0.0000366 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.00% )
2) After applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
841954709443 cycles test ( +- 15.80% ) (98.69%)
527258677936 instructions test # 0.63 insn per cycle ( +- 15.11% ) (98.68%)
10.01064 +- 0.00831 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.08% )
We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling
down_read_trylock() at high frequency. After using SRCU,
the IPC is at a normal level.
