mm: page_counter: rearrange struct page_counter fields
With memcg v2 enabled, memcg->memory.usage is a very hot member for the workloads doing memcg charging on multiple CPUs concurrently. Particularly the network intensive workloads. In addition, there is a false cache sharing between memory.usage and memory.high on the charge path. This patch moves the usage into a separate cacheline and move all the read most fields into separate cacheline. To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy. $ netserver -6 # 36 instances of netperf with following params $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K Results (average throughput of netperf): Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps With patch 12413.7 Mbps (18.4% improvement) With the patch, the throughput improved by 18.4%. One side-effect of this patch is the increase in the size of struct mem_cgroup. For example with this patch on 64 bit build, the size of struct mem_cgroup increased from 4032 bytes to 4416 bytes. However for the performance improvement, this additional size is worth it. In addition there are opportunities to reduce the size of struct mem_cgroup like deprecation of kmem and tcpmem page counters and better packing.
