mm, memcg: assign memcg-aware shrinkers bitmap to memcg
Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers. Let
we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts, and 10 cgroups.
All container tasks don't touch foreign containers mounts. If there is
intensive pages write, and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to
iterate over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go to
shrink_page_list().
Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive: the task has to
visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since there are
2000 memcgs, the total calls are 2000 * 2000 =
4000000.
So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls just to try to
isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one of the actively writing memcg via
shrink_page_list(). I've observed a node spending almost 100% in
kernel, making useless iteration over already shrinked slab.
This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg. The size of
the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during memcg life it's
maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids shrinkers. Every bit in
the map is related to corresponding shrinker id.
Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged memcg. This
will allow shrink_slab() to increase its performance in significant way.
See the last patch for the numbers.
