mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock
commit e9e58a4 ("memcg: avoid use cmpxchg in swap cgroup maintainance") replaced the cmpxchg/xchg with a global irq spinlock because some archs doesn't support 2 bytes cmpxchg/xchg. Clearly this won't scale well. And as commented in swap_cgroup.c, this lock is not needed for map synchronization. Emulation of 2 bytes xchg with atomic cmpxchg isn't hard, so implement it to get rid of this lock. Introduced two helpers for doing so and they can be easily dropped if a generic 2 byte xchg is support. Testing using 64G brd and build with build kernel with make -j96 in 1.5G memory cgroup using 4k folios showed below improvement (6 test run): Before this series: Sys time: 10782.29 (stdev 42.353886) Real time: 171.49 (stdev 0.595541) After this commit: Sys time: 9617.23 (stdev 37.764062), -10.81% Real time: 159.65 (stdev 0.587388), -6.90% With 64k folios and 2G memcg: Before this series: Sys time: 8176.94 (stdev 26.414712) Real time: 141.98 (stdev 0.797382) After this commit: Sys time: 7358.98 (stdev 54.927593), -10.00% Real time: 134.07 (stdev 0.757463), -5.57% Sequential swapout of 8G 64k zero folios with madvise (24 test run): Before this series: 5461409.12 us (stdev 183957.827084) After this commit: 5420447.26 us (stdev 196419.240317) Sequential swapin of 8G 4k zero folios (24 test run): Before this series: 19736958.916667 us (stdev 189027.246676) After this commit: 19662182.629630 us (stdev 172717.640614) Performance is better or at least not worse for all tests above.
