[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     memcg-fix-performance-of-mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: 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.
