[PATCH v3 09/10] sched/psi: cache parent psi_group to speed up groups iterate

From: Chengming Zhou
Date: Wed Aug 24 2022 - 04:21:05 EST


We use iterate_groups() to iterate each level psi_group to update
PSI stats, which is a very hot path.

In current code, iterate_groups() have to use multiple branches and
cgroup_parent() to get parent psi_group for each level, which is not
very efficient.

This patch cache parent psi_group in struct psi_group, only need to get
psi_group of task itself first, then just use group->parent to iterate.
