This is a followup to the previous kmem series. I divided them logically so it gets easier for reviewers. But I believe they are ready to be merged together (although we can do a two-pass merge if people would prefer) Throwaway git tree found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/glommer/memcg.git kmemcg-slab I've bundled the following important changes since last submission: * no more messing with the cache name after destruction: aggregated figures are shown in /proc/slabinfo. * memory.kmem.slabinfo file with memcg-specific cache information during its lifespan. * full slub attribute propagation. * reusing the standard workqueue mechanism. * cache-side indexing, instead of memcg-side indexing. The memcg css_id serves as an index, and we don't need extra indexes for that. * struct memcg_cache_params no longer bundled in struct kmem_cache: We now will have only a pointer in the struct, allowing memory consumption when disable to fall down ever further. Patches need to be adjusted to cope with those changes, but other than that, look the same - just a lot simpler. I also put quite some effort to overcome my writing disability and get some decent changelogs in place. For a detailed explanation about this whole effort, please refer to my previous post (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/8/119) *** BLURB HERE *** Glauber Costa (19): slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creation move slabinfo processing to slab_common.c move print_slabinfo_header to slab_common.c sl[au]b: process slabinfo_show in common code slab: don't preemptively remove element from list in cache destroy slab/slub: struct memcg_params consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache Allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache memcg: skip memcg kmem allocations in specified code regions sl[au]b: always get the cache from its page in kfree sl[au]b: Allocate objects from memcg cache memcg: destroy memcg caches memcg/sl[au]b Track all the memcg children of a kmem_cache. memcg/sl[au]b: shrink dead caches Aggregate memcg cache values in slabinfo slab: propagate tunables values slub: slub-specific propagation changes.
