mm: memcontrol: don't batch updates of local VM stats and events
The kernel test robot noticed a 26% will-it-scale pagefault regression
from commit 42a300353577 ("mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics
correctness & scalabilty"). This appears to be caused by bouncing the
additional cachelines from the new hierarchical statistics counters.
We can fix this by getting rid of the batched local counters instead.
Originally, there were *only* group-local counters, and they were fully
maintained per cpu. A reader of a stats file high up in the cgroup tree
would have to walk the entire subtree and collect each level's per-cpu
counters to get the recursive view. This was prohibitively expensive,
and so we switched to per-cpu batched updates of the local counters
during a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting"), reducing the complexity from nr_subgroups *
nr_cpus to nr_subgroups.
With growing machines and cgroup trees, the tree walk itself became too
expensive for monitoring top-level groups, and this is when the culprit
patch added hierarchy counters on each cgroup level. When the per-cpu
batch size would be reached, both the local and the hierarchy counters
would get batch-updated from the per-cpu delta simultaneously.
This makes local and hierarchical counter reads blazingly fast, but it
unfortunately makes the write-side too cache line intense.
Since local counter reads were never a problem - we only centralized
them to accelerate the hierarchy walk - and use of the local counters
are becoming rarer due to replacement with hierarchical views (ongoing
rework in the page reclaim and workingset code), we can make those local
counters unbatched per-cpu counters again.
The scheme will then be as such:
when a memcg statistic changes, the writer will:
- update the local counter (per-cpu)
- update the batch counter (per-cpu). If the batch is full:
- spill the batch into the group's atomic_t
- spill the batch into all ancestors' atomic_ts
- empty out the batch counter (per-cpu)
when a local memcg counter is read, the reader will:
- collect the local counter from all cpus
when a hiearchy memcg counter is read, the reader will:
- read the atomic_t
We might be able to simplify this further and make the recursive
counters unbatched per-cpu counters as well (batch upward propagation,
but leave per-cpu collection to the readers), but that will require a
more in-depth analysis and testing of all the callsites. Deal with the
immediate regression for now.
