From 4331f7d339ee0b54603344b9d13662a9c022540c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:34:26 -0700 Subject: memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's called very frequently. Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its memcg....this is slow. This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not". With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg. Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file, MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the range by madvise() and page fault again. This program causes 26214400 times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat(). Before this patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G real 0m21.765s user 0m5.999s sys 0m15.434s 27.46% mmap mmap [.] reader 21.15% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 9.17% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 2.96% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 2.83% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat After this patch [root@bluextal test]# time ./mmap 1G real 0m21.373s user 0m6.113s sys 0m15.016s In usual path, calls to __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() goes away. Note: we may be able to remove this optimization in future if we can get pointer to memcg directly from struct page.
