Subject: [PATCH v4 46/48] mm: shrinker: make memcg slab shrink lockless
Date:   Mon,  7 Aug 2023 19:09:34 +0800

Like global slab shrink, this commit also uses refcount+RCU method to make
memcg slab shrink lockless.

Use the following script to do slab shrink stress test:

```

DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt"

do_create()
{
    mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
    echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    for i in `seq 0 $1`;
    do
        mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i;
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
        mkdir -p $DIR/$i;
    done
}

do_mount()
{
    for i in `seq $1 $2`;
    do
        mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i;
    done
}

do_touch()
{
    for i in `seq $1 $2`;
    do
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
        dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 &
    done
}

case "$1" in
  touch)
    do_touch $2 $3
    ;;
  test)
    do_create 4000
    do_mount 0 4000
    do_touch 0 3000
    ;;
  *)
    exit 1
    ;;
esac
```

Save the above script, then run test and touch commands. Then we can use
the following perf command to view hotspots:

perf top -U -F 999

1) Before applying this patchset:

  40.44%  [kernel]            [k] down_read_trylock
  17.59%  [kernel]            [k] up_read
  13.64%  [kernel]            [k] pv_native_safe_halt
  11.90%  [kernel]            [k] shrink_slab
   8.21%  [kernel]            [k] idr_find
   2.71%  [kernel]            [k] _find_next_bit
   1.36%  [kernel]            [k] shrink_node
   0.81%  [kernel]            [k] shrink_lruvec
   0.80%  [kernel]            [k] __radix_tree_lookup
   0.50%  [kernel]            [k] do_shrink_slab
   0.21%  [kernel]            [k] list_lru_count_one
   0.16%  [kernel]            [k] mem_cgroup_iter

2) After applying this patchset:

  60.17%  [kernel]           [k] shrink_slab
  20.42%  [kernel]           [k] pv_native_safe_halt
   3.03%  [kernel]           [k] do_shrink_slab
   2.73%  [kernel]           [k] shrink_node
   2.27%  [kernel]           [k] shrink_lruvec
   2.00%  [kernel]           [k] __rcu_read_unlock
   1.92%  [kernel]           [k] mem_cgroup_iter
   0.98%  [kernel]           [k] __rcu_read_lock
   0.91%  [kernel]           [k] osq_lock
   0.63%  [kernel]           [k] mem_cgroup_calculate_protection
   0.55%  [kernel]           [k] shrinker_put
   0.46%  [kernel]           [k] list_lru_count_one

We can see that the first perf hotspot becomes shrink_slab, which is what
we expect.
