    mm: memcontrol: make cgroup_memory_noswap a static key · c1b8fdae
    Kairui Song authored
    cgroup_memory_noswap is used in many hot path, so make it a static key
    to lower the kernel overhead.
    
    Using 8G of ZRAM as SWAP, benchmark using `perf stat -d -d -d --repeat 100`
    with the following code snip in a non-root cgroup:
    
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <string.h>
       #include <linux/mman.h>
       #include <sys/mman.h>
       #define MB 1024UL * 1024UL
       int main(int argc, char **argv){
          void *p = mmap(NULL, 8000 * MB, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                         MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
          memset(p, 0xff, 8000 * MB);
          madvise(p, 8000 * MB, MADV_PAGEOUT);
          memset(p, 0xff, 8000 * MB);
          return 0;
       }

    The performance is clearly better. There is no significant hotspot
    improvement according to perf report, as there are quite a few
    callers of memcg_swap_enabled and do_memsw_account (which calls
    memcg_swap_enabled). Many pieces of minor optimizations resulted
    in lower overhead for the branch predictor, and bettter performance.
