Subject: workingset: memcg: sleep when flushing stats in workingset_refault()
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 19:17:59 +0000

In workingset_refault(), we call
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited() to read accurate stats within
an RCU read section and with sleeping disallowed.  Move the call above the
RCU read section to make it non-atomic.

Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.

Since workingset_refault() is the only caller of
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(), just make it non-atomic, and
rename it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().
