[PATCH v10 01/16] memcg: make cache index determination more robust

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Glauber Costa <glommer@xxxxxxxxx>

I caught myself doing something like the following outside memcg core:

	memcg_id = -1;
	if (memcg && memcg_kmem_is_active(memcg))
		memcg_id = memcg_cache_id(memcg);

to be able to handle all possible memcgs in a sane manner. In particular, the
root cache will have kmemcg_id = -1 (just because we don't call memcg_kmem_init
to the root cache since it is not limitable). We have always coped with that by
making sure we sanitize which cache is passed to memcg_cache_id. Although this
example is given for root, what we really need to know is whether or not a
cache is kmem active.

But outside the memcg core testing for root, for instance, is not trivial since
we don't export mem_cgroup_is_root. I ended up realizing that this tests really
belong inside memcg_cache_id. This patch moves a similar but stronger test
inside memcg_cache_id and make sure it always return a meaningful value.
