cgroups: use css id in swap cgroup for saving memory v5
Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup. By this, on 64bit machine,
size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes.
This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes)
From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes.
To size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes.
Reduction is large. Of course, there are trade-offs. This CSS ID will
add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free.
But in general,
- swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use.
- If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used.
- Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to
size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now.
I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense.
Note:
- ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side.
- memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from
swap_cgroup is available.
Changelog v4->v5:
- reworked on to memcg-charge-swapcache-to-proper-memcg.patch
Changlog ->v4:
- fixed not configured case.
- deleted unnecessary comments.
- fixed NULL pointer bug.
- fixed message in dmesg.
