We will have to be careful for cache destruction.
I found several races between allocation and destruction, in my patchset.
I think we should consider doing the uncharging of kmem when
destroying a memcg in mem_cgroup_destroy() instead of in
pre_destroy(), because it's still possible that there are threads in
the cgroup while pre_destroy() is being called (or for threads to be
moved into the cgroup).
I found some problems here as well.
I am trying to work ontop of what Kamezawa posted for pre_destroy()
rework. I have one or two incorrect uncharging issues to solve, that's
actually what is holding me for posting a new version.
expected soon
