We noticed that the cost of psi increases with the increase in the levels of the cgroups. Particularly the cost of cpu_clock() sticks out as the kernel calls it multiple times as it traverses up the cgroup tree. This patch reduces the calls to cpu_clock(). Performed perf bench on Intel Broadwell with 3 levels of cgroup. Before the patch: $ perf bench sched all # Running sched/messaging benchmark... # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.747 [sec] # Running sched/pipe benchmark... # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes Total time: 3.516 [sec] 3.516689 usecs/op 284358 ops/sec After the patch: $ perf bench sched all # Running sched/messaging benchmark... # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.640 [sec] # Running sched/pipe benchmark... # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes Total time: 3.329 [sec] 3.329820 usecs/op 300316 ops/sec Signed-off-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210321205156.4186483-1-shakeelb@google.com
