Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcg: add cacheline padding after lruvec in mem_cgroup_per_node
Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2024 17:12:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240723171244.747521-1-roman.gushchin@linux.dev> (raw)
Oliver Sand reported a performance regression caused by
commit 98c9daf5ae6b ("mm: memcg: guard memcg1-specific members of struct
mem_cgroup_per_node"), which puts some fields of the
mem_cgroup_per_node structure under the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 config option.
Apparently it causes a false cache sharing between lruvec and
lru_zone_size members of the structure. Fix it by adding an explicit
padding after the lruvec member.
Even though the padding is not required with CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 set,
it seems like the introduced memory overhead is not significant
enough to warrant another divergence in the mem_cgroup_per_node
layout, so the padding is added unconditionally.
Fixes: 98c9daf5ae6b ("mm: memcg: guard memcg1-specific members of struct mem_cgroup_per_node")
