[PATCH 17/17] mm: list_lru: replace linear array with xarray

From: Muchun Song
Date: Tue May 11 2021 - 06:53:32 EST


If we run 10k containers in the system, the size of the
list_lru_memcg->lrus can be ~96KB per list_lru. When we decrease the
number containers, the size of the array will not be shrinked. It is
not scalable. The xarray is a good choice for this case. We can save
a lot of memory when there are tens of thousands continers in the
system. If we use xarray, we also can remove the logic code of
resizing array, which can simplify the code.
