Subject: [PATCH 2/4] memcg: uint16_t for nr_bytes in obj_stock_pcp
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 22:31:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520053123.2709959-3-shakeel.butt@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520053123.2709959-1-shakeel.butt@linux.dev>

Currently struct obj_stock_pcp stores nr_bytes in an 'unsigned int'
which is 4 bytes on 64-bit machines. Switch the field to uint16_t to
shrink the per-CPU cache.

The kernel supports PAGE_SIZE_4KB, _8KB, _16KB, _32KB, _64KB and
_256KB (see HAVE_PAGE_SIZE_* in arch/Kconfig). After the
PAGE_SIZE-aligned flush in __refill_obj_stock(), the sub-page
remainder fits in uint16_t up through 64KiB pages where PAGE_SIZE - 1
== U16_MAX, but on 256KiB pages PAGE_SIZE - 1 == 0x3FFFF exceeds
U16_MAX. The accumulator also needs to stay within uint16_t between
page-aligned flushes on 64KiB pages where PAGE_SIZE itself is
U16_MAX + 1.

Accumulate the new total in an 'unsigned int' local, then:

  1. Flush whenever the accumulator would hit U16_MAX. Together with
     the existing allow_uncharge flush at PAGE_SIZE, this keeps the
     uint16_t safe on PAGE_SIZE <= 64KiB.

  2. On configs with PAGE_SHIFT > 16 (PAGE_SIZE_256KB on hexagon and
     powerpc 44x), push any sub-page remainder above U16_MAX into
     objcg->nr_charged_bytes via atomic_add before storing back, so
     the store cannot silently truncate. The PAGE_SHIFT > 16 guard
     folds the branch out at compile time on smaller page sizes.
