Subject: [PATCH v4 01/17] mm: list_lru: optimize memory consumption of arrays of per cgroup lists
Date:   Tue, 14 Dec 2021 00:53:26 +0800
Message-Id: <20211213165342.74704-2-songmuchun@bytedance.com>

The list_lru uses an array (list_lru_memcg->lru) to store pointers
which point to the list_lru_one. And the array is per memcg per node.
Therefore, the size of the arrays will be 10K * number_of_node * 8 (
a pointer size on 64 bits system) when we run 10k containers in the
system. The memory consumption of the arrays becomes significant. The
more numa node, the more memory it consumes.

I have done a simple test, which creates 10K memcg and mount point
each in a two-node system. The memory consumption of the list_lru
will be 24464MB. After converting the array from per memcg per node
to per memcg, the memory consumption is going to be 21957MB. It is
reduces by 2.5GB. In our AMD servers, there are 8 numa nodes in
those system, the memory consumption could be more significant.
