memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's
called very frequently. Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its
memcg....this is slow.
This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not".
With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg.
Here is a test result. A test program makes page faults onto a file,
MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the
range by madvise() and page fault again. This program causes 26214400
times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().
Before this patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
[kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G
real 0m21.765s
user 0m5.999s
sys 0m15.434s
27.46% mmap mmap [.] reader
21.15% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault
9.17% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault
2.96% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault
2.83% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat
After this patch
[root@bluextal test]# time ./mmap 1G
real 0m21.373s
user 0m6.113s
sys 0m15.016s
In usual path, calls to __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() goes away.
Note: we may be able to remove this optimization in future if
we can get pointer to memcg directly from struct page.
