Shakeel Butt 7182935bd5 memcg: flush stats only if updated 
commit 11192d9c12 upstream.

At the moment, the kernel flushes the memcg stats on every refault and
also on every reclaim iteration.  Although rstat maintains per-cpu
update tree but on the flush the kernel still has to go through all the
cpu rstat update tree to check if there is anything to flush.  This
patch adds the tracking on the stats update side to make flush side more
clever by skipping the flush if there is no update.

The stats update codepath is very sensitive performance wise for many
workloads and benchmarks.  So, we can not follow what the commit
aa48e47e39 ("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats") did which
was triggering async flush through queue_work() and caused a lot
performance regression reports.  That got reverted by the commit
1f828223b7 ("memcg: flush lruvec stats in the refault").

In this patch we kept the stats update codepath very minimal and let the
stats reader side to flush the stats only when the updates are over a
specific threshold.  For now the threshold is (nr_cpus * CHARGE_BATCH).

To evaluate the impact of this patch, an 8 GiB tmpfs file is created on
a system with swap-on-zram and the file was pushed to swap through
memory.force_empty interface.  On reading the whole file, the memcg stat
flush in the refault code path is triggered.  With this patch, we
observed 63% reduction in the read time of 8 GiB file.

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 Restructured Text 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.
