Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] mm/memcg: Improve refill_obj_stock() performance
Date:   Sun, 18 Apr 2021 20:00:32 -0400
Message-Id: <20210419000032.5432-6-longman@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20210419000032.5432-1-longman@redhat.com>
References: <20210419000032.5432-1-longman@redhat.com>
Precedence: bulk

There are two issues with the current refill_obj_stock() code. First of
all, when nr_bytes reaches over PAGE_SIZE, it calls drain_obj_stock() to
atomically flush out remaining bytes to obj_cgroup, clear cached_objcg
and do a obj_cgroup_put(). It is likely that the same obj_cgroup will
be used again which leads to another call to drain_obj_stock() and
obj_cgroup_get() as well as atomically retrieve the available byte from
obj_cgroup. That is costly. Instead, we should just uncharge the excess
pages, reduce the stock bytes and be done with it. The drain_obj_stock()
function should only be called when obj_cgroup changes.

Secondly, when charging an object of size not less than a page in
obj_cgroup_charge(), it is possible that the remaining bytes to be
refilled to the stock will overflow a page and cause refill_obj_stock()
to uncharge 1 page. To avoid the additional uncharge in this case,
a new overfill flag is added to refill_obj_stock() which will be set
when called from obj_cgroup_charge().
