Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] memcg: Annotate slow paths in consume_stock() and refill_stock().
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:50:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028185034.3607746-4-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028185034.3607746-1-kuniyu@google.com>
In consume_stock() and refill_stock(), each per-CPU stock slot
holds up to MEMCG_STOCK_HIGH (64) pages, so depleting a slot in
consume_stock() (!stock_pages) or trimming a slot in refill_stock()
(stock_pages > MEMCG_STOCK_HIGH) happens at most once per batch.
Similarly, requests larger than MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH, local_trylock()
failure, and insufficient cached pages (stock_pages < nr_pages)
are all slow paths.
Without unlikely() annotations (when building without FDO, or
when an FDO profile does not cover a caller), the compiler treats
these branches as likely and inlines css_put() in consume_stock()
and memcg_uncharge() in refill_stock() right into the middle of
the hot path.
Consequently, the fast path has to jump over the inlined slow
path and jump again to the function epilogue after local_unlock().
Let's annotate the slow paths in consume_stock() and refill_stock()
with unlikely() so that the compiler keeps css_put() and
memcg_uncharge() out-of-line at the cold tail and lets local_unlock()
and the function epilogue fall through on the fast path:
