This is system-wide right, not per container? Even per container, 89 usec isn't much contention over 20 seconds. You may want to give this a try:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/vm-scalability.git/tree/case-lru-file-readtwice

It's also synthetic but it stresses lru_lock more than just anon alloc/free. It hits the page activate path, which is where we see this lock in our database, and if enough memory is configured lru_lock also gets stressed during reclaim, similar to [1].

It'd be better though, as Michal suggests, to use the real workload that's causing problems. Where are you seeing contention?

Where does the 50% number come in? The numbers below seem to only show ~4% boost.
