mm: adjust vm_committed_as_batch according to vm overcommit policy
When checking a performance change for will-it-scale scalability mmap test [1], we found very high lock contention for spinlock of percpu counter 'vm_committed_as': 94.14% 0.35% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 48.21% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__vm_enough_memory;mmap_region;do_mmap; 45.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__do_munmap; Actually this heavy lock contention is not always necessary. The 'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch number for the percpu counter. So keep 'batch' number unchanged for strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy, and lift it to 64X for OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies. Also add a sysctl handler to adjust it when the policy is reconfigured. Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a 8C/16T desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server. We tested with test platforms in 0day (server, desktop and laptop), and 80%+ platforms shows improvements with that test. And whether it shows improvements depends on if the test mmap size is bigger than the batch number computed. And if the lift is 16X, 1/3 of the platforms will show improvements, though it should help the mmap/unmap usage generally, as Michal Hocko mentioned: : I believe that there are non-synthetic worklaods which would benefit from : a larger batch. E.g. large in memory databases which do large mmaps : during startups from multiple threads.
