From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 23:41:39 +0000 (-0800) Subject: slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1663f26df3df7df3720306ca67f5ea8296d68fa1;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.
