Yes, I'm supposed "maps" means "info". I'm supposed the most shrinkers should be registered at boot time, and typically very few memcgs are created at boot time so I didn't treat it as a hot path. > What do you think about batching here? Just off the top of my head, we could allocate, for example, 64 nr_deferred (64 * sizeof(atomic_long_t)) so that we just need to expand info for every 64 shrinker registrations. Maybe define it depends on the machine (64 bit - 64, 32 bit - 32). Why 64? Basically a magic number. And when I was investigating that list_lru reparent race issue (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201202171749.264354-1-shy828301@gmail.com/) I happened to notice that there are at most 64 shrinkers registered in our production environment (a typical data center configuration).

Not so. Every mount adds at least one shrinker, so they can actively be added during normal system work. E.g., on our production system (containers) several thousand shrinkers is not a rare situation. >> What do you think about batching here? > > Just off the top of my head, we could allocate, for example, 64 > nr_deferred (64 * sizeof(atomic_long_t)) so that we just need to > expand info for every 64 shrinker registrations.

Currently the number of deferred objects are per shrinker, but some slabs, for example, vfs inode/dentry cache are per memcg, this would result in poor isolation among memcgs. The deferred objects typically are generated by __GFP_NOFS allocations, one memcg with excessive __GFP_NOFS allocations may blow up deferred objects, then other innocent memcgs may suffer from over shrink, excessive reclaim latency, etc. For example, two workloads run in memcgA and memcgB respectively, workload in B is vfs heavy workload. Workload in A generates excessive deferred objects, then B's vfs cache might be hit heavily (drop half of caches) by B's limit reclaim or global reclaim. We observed this hit in our production environment which was running vfs heavy workload shown as the below tracing log: <...>-409454 [016] .... 28286961.747146: mm_shrink_slab_start: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458: nid: 1 objects to shrink 3641681686040 gfp_flags GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO pgs_scanned 1 lru_pgs 15721 cache items 246404277 delta 31345 total_scan 123202138 <...>-409454 [022] .... 28287105.928018: mm_shrink_slab_end: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458: nid: 1 unused scan count 3641681686040 new scan count 3641798379189 total_scan 602 last shrinker return val 123186855 The vfs cache and page cache ration was 10:1 on this machine, and half of caches were dropped. This also resulted in significant amount of page caches were dropped due to inodes eviction. Make nr_deferred per memcg for memcg aware shrinkers would solve the unfairness and bring better isolation. When memcg is not enabled (!CONFIG_MEMCG or memcg disabled), the shrinker's nr_deferred would be used. And non memcg aware shrinkers use shrinker's nr_deferred all the time.
