memcg: improve resource counter scalability
Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the root cgroup. This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup overhead. I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu counters). Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added iteratively on top of these. The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup. The data for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable). What happens today is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics(). For the root, since we don't implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim. The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE). However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need additional data about swapped out memory. This patch adds a MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data. This data is computed recursively when hierarchy is enabled. The tests results I see on a 24 way show that 1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats 2. The results of the test are comparable to running with cgroup_disable=memory.
