mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting
We've seen memory.stat reads in top-level cgroups take up to fourteen seconds during a userspace bug that created tens of thousands of ghost cgroups pinned by lingering page cache. Even with a more reasonable number of cgroups, aggregating memory.stat is unnecessarily heavy. The complexity is this: nr_cgroups * nr_stat_items * nr_possible_cpus where the stat items are ~70 at this point. With 128 cgroups and 128 CPUs - decent, not enormous setups - reading the top-level memory.stat has to aggregate over a million per-cpu counters. This doesn't scale. Instead of spreading the source of truth across all CPUs, use the per-cpu counters merely to batch updates to shared atomic counters. This is the same as the per-cpu stocks we use for charging memory to the shared atomic page_counters, and also the way the global vmstat counters are implemented. Vmstat has elaborate spilling thresholds that depend on the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and memory pressure - carefully balancing the cost of counter updates with the amount of per-cpu error. That's because the vmstat counters are system-wide, but also used for decisions inside the kernel (e.g. NR_FREE_PAGES in the allocator). Neither is true for the memory controller. Use the same static batch size we already use for page_counter updates during charging. The per-cpu error in the stats will be 128k, which is an acceptable ratio of cores to memory accounting granularity.

- * Implementation Note: reading percpu statistics for memcg.
- *
- * Both of vmstat[] and percpu_counter has threshold and do periodic
- * synchronization to implement "quick" read. There are trade-off between
- * reading cost and precision of value. Then, we may have a chance to implement
- * a periodic synchronization of counter in memcg's counter.
- *
- * But this _read() function is used for user interface now. The user accounts
- * memory usage by memory cgroup and he _always_ requires exact value because
- * he accounts memory. Even if we provide quick-and-fuzzy read, we always
- * have to visit all online cpus and make sum. So, for now, unnecessary
- * synchronization is not implemented. (just implemented for cpu hotplug)
- *
- * If there are kernel internal actions which can make use of some not-exact
- * value, and reading all cpu value can be performance bottleneck in some
- * common workload, threshold and synchronization as vmstat[] should be
- * implemented.
- *
- * The parameter idx can be of type enum memcg_event_item or vm_event_item.
