Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] cgroup/rstat: Reduce cpu_lock hold time in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()

 v3:
  - Minor comment twisting as suggested by Yosry.
  - Add patches 2 and 3 to further reduce lock hold time

The purpose of this patch series is to reduce of the cpu_lock hold time
in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() so as to reduce the latency impact when
cgroup_rstat_updated() is called as they may contend with each other
on the cpu_lock.

A parallel kernel build on a 2-socket x86-64 server is used as the
benchmarking tool for measuring the lock hold time. Below were the lock
hold time frequency distribution before and after applying different
number of patches:

Waiman Long (3):
  cgroup/rstat: Reduce cpu_lock hold time in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()
  cgroup/rstat: Optimize cgroup_rstat_updated_list()
  cgroup: Avoid false cacheline sharing of read mostly rstat_cpu
