[PATCH] mm/memcg: add MAX_CHARGE_BATCH to limit unnecessary charge overhead

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wanpeng Li <liwp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Since exceeded unused cached charges would add pressure to
mem_cgroup_do_charge, more overhead would burn cpu cycles when
mem_cgroup_do_charge cause page reclaim or even OOM be triggered
just for such exceeded unused cached charges. Add MAX_CHARGE_BATCH
to limit max cached charges.
