mm: memcontrol: use per-cpu stocks for socket memory uncharging
We've noticed a quite noticeable performance overhead on some hosts with significant network traffic when socket memory accounting is enabled. Perf top shows that socket memory uncharging path is hot: 2.13% [kernel] [k] page_counter_cancel 1.14% [kernel] [k] __sk_mem_reduce_allocated 1.14% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock 0.87% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 0.84% [kernel] [k] tcp_ack 0.84% [kernel] [k] ixgbe_poll 0.83% < workload > 0.82% [kernel] [k] enqueue_entity 0.68% [kernel] [k] __fget 0.68% [kernel] [k] tcp_delack_timer_handler 0.67% [kernel] [k] __schedule 0.60% < workload > 0.59% [kernel] [k] __inet6_lookup_established 0.55% [kernel] [k] __switch_to 0.55% [kernel] [k] menu_select 0.54% libc-2.20.so [.] __memcpy_avx_unaligned To address this issue, the existing per-cpu stock infrastructure can be used. refill_stock() can be called from mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem() to move charge to a per-cpu stock instead of calling atomic page_counter_uncharge(). To prevent the uncontrolled growth of per-cpu stocks, refill_stock() will explicitly drain the cached charge, if the cached value exceeds CHARGE_BATCH. This allows significantly optimize the load: 1.21% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock 1.01% [kernel] [k] ixgbe_poll 0.92% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 0.90% [kernel] [k] enqueue_entity 0.86% [kernel] [k] tcp_ack 0.85% < workload > 0.74% perf-11120.map [.] 0x000000000061bf24 0.73% [kernel] [k] __schedule 0.67% [kernel] [k] __fget 0.63% [kernel] [k] __inet6_lookup_established 0.62% [kernel] [k] menu_select 0.59% < workload > 0.59% [kernel] [k] __switch_to 0.57% libc-2.20.so [.] __memcpy_avx_unaligned Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170829100150.4580-1-guro@fb.com Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
