Subject: [merged] memcg-slab-never-try-to-merge-memcg-caches.patch removed from -mm tree To: vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,glommer@xxxxxxxxx,hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx,mhocko@xxxxxxx,penberg@xxxxxxxxxx,rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2014 14:41:21 -0700 The patch titled Subject: memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memcg-slab-never-try-to-merge-memcg-caches.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from the new cache, i.e. has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc. If there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply increment the refcount of the cache found and return it. Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but also for memcg caches. However, there is no point in that, because, as every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing "slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg caches should be merged already, i.e. it must be the same root cache, and therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it already exists. The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be merged by setting their refcount to -1. There are currently only two of them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately after creation). Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I guess we should avoid to merge their children too. So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.
