[PATCH v4 4/8] memcg: reduce memory for the lruvec and memcg stats

Shakeel Butt
2024-05-01T17:26:45Z

At the moment, the amount of memory allocated for stats related structs
in the mem_cgroup corresponds to the size of enum node_stat_item.
However not all fields in enum node_stat_item have corresponding memcg
stats. So, let's use indirection mechanism similar to the one used for
memcg vmstats management.

For a given x86_64 config, the size of stats with and without patch is:

structs size in bytes w/o with

struct lruvec_stats 1128 648
struct lruvec_stats_percpu 752 432
struct memcg_vmstats 1832 1352
struct memcg_vmstats_percpu 1280 960

The memory savings is further compounded by the fact that these structs
are allocated for each cpu and for each node. To be precise, for each
memcg the memory saved would be:

Memory saved = ((21 * 3 * NR_NODES) + (21 * 2 * NR_NODES * NR_CPUS) +
(21 * 3) + (21 * 2 * NR_CPUS)) * sizeof(long)

Where 21 is the number of fields eliminated.

Changes since v3:
- Use S8_MAX instead of 127 (Yosry)
- Change the ordering of if conditions (Yosry)
- Changed the stat array size macro to MEMCG_VMSTAT_SIZE (Johannes)
