From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: fix vm-scalability regression in cgroup-aware workingset code
23047a96d7cf ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash detection") added a
page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction, refault, and activation
paths, as well as locking to the activation path, and the vm-scalability
tests showed a regression of -23%. While the test in question is an
artificial worst-case scenario that doesn't occur in real workloads -
reading two sparse files in parallel at full CPU speed just to hammer the
LRU paths - there is still some optimizations that can be done in those
paths.
Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls. Also, page->mem_cgroup
doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely need
to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed.
This cuts down on overhead quite a bit:
