Shakeel Butt 408587baee mm: page_counter: rearrange struct page_counter fields
With memcg v2 enabled, memcg->memory.usage is a very hot member for the
workloads doing memcg charging on multiple CPUs concurrently. 
Particularly the network intensive workloads.  In addition, there is a
false cache sharing between memory.usage and memory.high on the charge
path.  This patch moves the usage into a separate cacheline and move all
the read most fields into separate cacheline.

To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran
the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy.

 $ netserver -6
 # 36 instances of netperf with following params
 $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K

Results (average throughput of netperf):
Without (6.0-rc1)	10482.7 Mbps
With patch		12413.7 Mbps (18.4% improvement)

With the patch, the throughput improved by 18.4%.

One side-effect of this patch is the increase in the size of struct
mem_cgroup.  For example with this patch on 64 bit build, the size of
struct mem_cgroup increased from 4032 bytes to 4416 bytes.  However for
the performance improvement, this additional size is worth it.  In
addition there are opportunities to reduce the size of struct mem_cgroup
like deprecation of kmem and tcpmem page counters and better packing.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
