mm: memcg/slab: optimize objcg stock draining
Imran Khan reported a 16% regression in hackbench results caused by the commitf2fe7b09a5("mm: memcg/slab: charge individual slab objects instead of pages"). The regression is noticeable in the case of a consequent allocation of several relatively large slab objects, e.g. skb's. As soon as the amount of stocked bytes exceeds PAGE_SIZE, drain_obj_stock() and __memcg_kmem_uncharge() are called, and it leads to a number of atomic operations in page_counter_uncharge(). The corresponding call graph is below (provided by Imran Khan): |__alloc_skb | | | |__kmalloc_reserve.isra.61 | | | | | |__kmalloc_node_track_caller | | | | | | | |slab_pre_alloc_hook.constprop.88 | | | obj_cgroup_charge | | | | | | | | | |__memcg_kmem_charge | | | | | | | | | | | |page_counter_try_charge | | | | | | | | | |refill_obj_stock | | | | | | | | | | | |drain_obj_stock.isra.68 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |__memcg_kmem_uncharge | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |page_counter_uncharge | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |page_counter_cancel | | | | | | | | | | | |__slab_alloc | | | | | | | | | |___slab_alloc | | | | | | | | |slab_post_alloc_hook Instead of directly uncharging the accounted kernel memory, it's possible to refill the generic page-sized per-cpu stock instead. It's a much faster operation, especially on a default hierarchy. As a bonus, __memcg_kmem_uncharge_page() will also get faster, so the freeing of page-sized kernel allocations (e.g. large kmallocs) will become faster. A similar change has been done earlier for the socket memory by the commit475d0487a2("mm: memcontrol: use per-cpu stocks for socket memory uncharging").
