[PATCH v2 2/2] memcg: unify memcg stat flushing

Shakeel Butt
2021-10-01T19:00:40Z

The memcg stats can be flushed in multiple context and potentially in
parallel too. For example multiple parallel user space readers for memcg
stats will contend on the rstat locks with each other. There is no need
for that. We just need one flusher and everyone else can benefit. In
addition after aa48e47e3906 ("memcg: infrastructure to flush memcg stats")
the kernel periodically flush the memcg stats from the root, so, the other
flushers will potentially have much less work to do.
