Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.0 133/262] cgroup, rstat: Don't flush subtree root unless necessary
Date
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit b4ff1b44bcd384d22fcbac6ebaf9cc0d33debe50 ]

cgroup_rstat_cpu_pop_updated() is used to traverse the updated cgroups
on flush. While it was only visiting updated ones in the subtree, it
was visiting @root unconditionally. We can easily check whether @root
is updated or not by looking at its ->updated_next just as with the
cgroups in the subtree.

* Remove the unnecessary cgroup_parent() test. The system root cgroup
is never updated and thus its ->updated_next is always NULL. No
need to test whether cgroup_parent() exists in addition to
->updated_next.

* Terminate traverse if ->updated_next is NULL. This can only happen
for subtree @root and there's no reason to visit it if it's not
marked updated.

This reduces cpu consumption when reading a lot of rstat backed files.
In a micro benchmark reading stat from ~1600 cgroups, the sys time was
lowered by >40%.
