Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: memcg/slab: pre-allocate obj_cgroups for slab caches with SLAB_ACCOUNT
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:57:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201110195753.530157-2-guro@fb.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201110195753.530157-1-guro@fb.com>

In general it's unknown in advance if a slab page will contain
accounted objects or not. In order to avoid memory waste, an
obj_cgroup vector is allocated dynamically when a need to account
of a new object arises. Such approach is memory efficient, but
requires an expensive cmpxchg() to set up the memcg/objcgs pointer,
because an allocation can race with a different allocation on another
cpu.

But in some common cases it's known for sure that a slab page will
contain accounted objects: if the page belongs to a slab cache with a
SLAB_ACCOUNT flag set. It includes such popular objects like
vm_area_struct, anon_vma, task_struct, etc.

In such cases we can pre-allocate the objcgs vector and simple assign
it to the page without any atomic operations, because at this early
stage the page is not visible to anyone else.
