In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.
Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
- uncharge is done by
- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
- one by one via vmscan/paging.
It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.
This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).
The degree of coalescing depends on callers
- at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
- at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.
On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.
[without memcg config]
40156968 page-faults # 0.085 M/sec ( +- 0.046% )
27.67 cache-miss/faults
[root cgroup]
36659599 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec ( +- 0.247% )
31.58 miss/faults
[in a child cgroup]
18444157 page-faults # 0.039 M/sec ( +- 0.133% )
69.96 miss/faults
[child with this patch]
27133719 page-faults # 0.057 M/sec ( +- 0.155% )
47.16 miss/faults
We can see some amounts of improvement.
(root cgroup doesn't affected by this patch)
Another patch for "charge" will follow this and above will be improved more.
Changelog(since 2009/10/02):
- renamed filed of memcg_batch (as pages to bytes, memsw to memsw_bytes)
- some clean up and commentary/description updates.
- added initialize code to copy_process(). (possible bug fix)
Changelog(old):
- fixed !CONFIG_MEM_CGROUP case.
- rebased onto the latest mmotm + softlimit fix patches.
- unified patch for callers
- added commetns.
- make ->do_batch as bool.
- removed css_get() at el. We don't need it.

A memory cgroup has a memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes file. It shows the sum
of the usage of pages and swapents in the cgroup. Presently the root
cgroup's memsw.usage_in_bytes shows the wrong value - the number of
swapents are not added.
So take MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT into account.

When an IO error happens while writing metadata buffers, we should better
report it and call ext2_error since the filesystem is probably no longer
consistent. Sometimes such IO errors happen while flushing thread does
background writeback, the buffer gets later evicted from memory, and thus
the only trace of the error remains as AS_EIO bit set in blockdevice's
mapping. So we check this bit in ext2_fsync and report the error although
we cannot be really sure which buffer we failed to write.

The intelfb driver sets color map depending on currently active pipe.
However, if an LVDS display is attached (like in laptop) the active pipe
variable is never set. The default value is PIPE_A and can be wrong. Set
up the pipe variable during driver initialization after hardware state was
read.
Also, the detection of the active display (and hence the pipe) is wrong.
The pipes are assigned to so called planes. Both pipes are always enabled
on my laptop but only one plane is enabled (the plane A for the CRT or the
plane B for the LVDS). Change active pipe detection code to take into
account a status of the plane assigned to each pipe.
The problem is visible in the 8 bpp mode if colors above 15 are used. The
first 16 color entries are displayed correctly.
