commit e9e58a4ec3 ("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.

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 reStructuredText 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.
