[PATCH v8 14/17] mm: Iterate only over charged shrinkers during memcg shrink_slab()

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Tue Jul 03 2018 - 11:11:27 EST


Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg
shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers
bitmap. To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and
!memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen
via for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap. In case of big nodes,
having many isolated environments, this gives significant
performance growth. See next patches for the details.

Note, that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers,
since we never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once.
Their shrinkers will be called again, with no shrinked objects
as result. This functionality is provided by next patches.
