Kairui Song fb56fdf8b9 mm/list_lru: split the lock to per-cgroup scope
Currently, every list_lru has a per-node lock that protects adding,
deletion, isolation, and reparenting of all list_lru_one instances
belonging to this list_lru on this node.  This lock contention is heavy
when multiple cgroups modify the same list_lru.

This lock can be split into per-cgroup scope to reduce contention.

To achieve this, we need a stable list_lru_one for every cgroup.  This
commit adds a lock to each list_lru_one and introduced a helper function
lock_list_lru_of_memcg, making it possible to pin the list_lru of a memcg.
Then reworked the reparenting process.

Reparenting will switch the list_lru_one instances one by one.  By locking
each instance and marking it dead using the nr_items counter, reparenting
ensures that all items in the corresponding cgroup (on-list or not,
because items have a stable cgroup, see below) will see the list_lru_one
switch synchronously.

Objcg reparent is also moved after list_lru reparent so items will have a
stable mem cgroup until all list_lru_one instances are drained.

The only caller that doesn't work the *_obj interfaces are direct calls to
list_lru_{add,del}.  But it's only used by zswap and that's also based on
objcg, so it's fine.

This also changes the bahaviour of the isolation function when LRU_RETRY
or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY is returned, because now releasing the lock could
unblock reparenting and free the list_lru_one, isolation function will
have to return withoug re-lock the lru.

prepare() {
    mkdir /tmp/test-fs
    modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=33554432
    mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0
    mount -t xfs /dev/ram0 /tmp/test-fs
    for i in $(seq 1 512); do
        mkdir "/tmp/test-fs/$i"
        for j in $(seq 1 10240); do
            echo TEST-CONTENT > "/tmp/test-fs/$i/$j"
        done &
    done; wait
}

do_test() {
    read_worker() {
        sleep 1
        tar -cv "$1" &>/dev/null
    }
    read_in_all() {
        cd "/tmp/test-fs" && ls
        for i in $(seq 1 512); do
            (exec sh -c 'echo "$PPID"') > "/sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/$i/cgroup.procs"
            read_worker "$i" &
        done; wait
    }
    for i in $(seq 1 512); do
        mkdir -p "/sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/$i"
    done
    echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/cgroup.subtree_control
    echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/benchmark/memory.max
    echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    time read_in_all
}

Above script simulates compression of small files in multiple cgroups
with memory pressure. Run prepare() then do_test for 6 times:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
