Before the new slab memory controller with per object byte charging, charging and vmstat data update happen only when new slab pages are allocated or freed. Now they are done with every kmem_cache_alloc() and kmem_cache_free(). This causes additional overhead for workloads that generate a lot of alloc and free calls. The memcg_stock_pcp is used to cache byte charge for a specific obj_cgroup to reduce that overhead. To further reducing it, this patch makes the vmstat data cached in the memcg_stock_pcp structure as well until it accumulates a page size worth of update or when other cached data change. Caching the vmstat data in the per-cpu stock eliminates two writes to non-hot cachelines for memcg specific as well as memcg-lruvecs specific vmstat data by a write to a hot local stock cacheline. On a 2-socket Cascade Lake server with instrumentation enabled and this patch applied, it was found that about 20% (634400 out of 3243830) of the time when mod_objcg_state() is called leads to an actual call to __mod_objcg_state() after initial boot. When doing parallel kernel build, the figure was about 17% (24329265 out of 142512465). So caching the vmstat data reduces the number of calls to __mod_objcg_state() by more than 80%.

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.
