memcg: increase MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH to 64
For several years, MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH was kept at 32 but with bigger
machines and the network intensive workloads requiring througput in Gbps,
32 is too small and makes the memcg charging path a bottleneck. For now,
increase it to 64 for easy acceptance to 6.0. We will need to revisit
this in future for ever increasing demand of higher performance.
Please note that the memcg charge path drain the per-cpu memcg charge
stock, so there should not be any oom behavior change. Though it does
have impact on rstat flushing and high limit reclaim backoff.
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 17064.7 Mbps (62.7% improvement)
With the patch, the throughput improved by 62.7%.
