	This tracepoint gives visibility on how often the flushing of memcg stats occurs and contains info on whether it was forced, skipped, and the value of stats updated. It can help with understanding how readers are affected by having to perform the flush, and the effectiveness of the flush by inspecting the number of stats updated. Paired with the recently added tracepoints for tracing rstat updates, it can also help show correlation where stats exceed thresholds frequently.

2024-11-06	memcg: add tracing for memcg stat updates	Shakeel Butt
	The memcg stats are maintained in rstat infrastructure which provides very fast updates side and reasonable read side. However memcg added plethora of stats and made the read side, which is cgroup rstat flush, very slow. To solve that, threshold was added in the memcg stats read side i.e. no need to flush the stats if updates are within the threshold. This threshold based improvement worked for sometime but more stats were added to memcg and also the read codepath was getting triggered in the performance sensitive paths which made threshold based ratelimiting ineffective. We need more visibility into the hot and cold stats i.e. stats with a lot of updates. Let's add trace to get that visibility.
