Subject: mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat
Replace the memory controller's custom hierarchical stats code with the
generic rstat infrastructure provided by the cgroup core.
The current implementation does batched upward propagation from the write
side (i.e. as stats change). The per-cpu batches introduce an error,
which is multiplied by the number of subgroups in a tree. In systems with
many CPUs and sizable cgroup trees, the error can be large enough to
confuse users (e.g. 32 batch pages * 32 CPUs * 32 subgroups results in an
error of up to 128M per stat item). This can entirely swallow allocation
bursts inside a workload that the user is expecting to see reflected in
the statistics.
In the past, we've done read-side aggregation, where a memory.stat read
would have to walk the entire subtree and add up per-cpu counts. This
became problematic with lazily-freed cgroups: we could have large subtrees
where most cgroups were entirely idle. Hence the switch to change-driven
upward propagation. Unfortunately, it needed to trade accuracy for speed
due to the write side being so hot.
Rstat combines the best of both worlds: from the write side, it cheaply
maintains a queue of cgroups that have pending changes, so that the read
side can do selective tree aggregation. This way the reported stats will
always be precise and recent as can be, while the aggregation can skip
over potentially large numbers of idle cgroups.
The way rstat works is that it implements a tree for tracking cgroups with
pending local changes, as well as a flush function that walks the tree
upwards. The controller then drives this by 1) telling rstat when a local
cgroup stat changes (e.g. mod_memcg_state) and 2) when a flush is
required to get uptodate hierarchy stats for a given subtree (e.g. when
memory.stat is read). The controller also provides a flush callback that
is called during the rstat flush walk for each cgroup and aggregates its
local per-cpu counters and propagates them upwards.
This adds a second vmstats to struct mem_cgroup (MEMCG_NR_STAT +
NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS) to track pending subtree deltas during upward
aggregation. It removes 3 words from the per-cpu data. It eliminates
memcg_exact_page_state(), since memcg_page_state() is now exact.
