mm/memcontrol: avoid false sharing between vmstats and events
Moving v1 userspace eventfd handling into memcontrol-v1.c shrank struct
vmpressure from 112 to 24 bytes when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is disabled. This
moved memory_events_local[MEMCG_SWAP_FAIL] and the hot vmstats_percpu
pointer onto the same cacheline.
The stress-ng mremap stressor exercises MADV_PAGEOUT with swap disabled,
generating about 20 million MEMCG_SWAP_FAIL updates per 60-second run on a
176-CPU test system. Those writes bounce the line while memcg statistics
paths load vmstats_percpu.
Move cgwb_list into the existing alignment gap and cacheline-align
vmstats_percpu. This separates the pointer from the event counters
without increasing the size of struct mem_cgroup in the tested
configuration.
The blamed commit reduced median mremap throughput by 4.38% on the test
system with one socket. The patched kernel brings the performance to
within 0.5% of the parent which is within the observed boot-to-boot spread
(up to 1.2%).
