From d7f25f8a2f81252d1ac134470ba1d0a287cf8fcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:22:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is allocated. But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as possible in a page belonging to the same cache. This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the beginning of every allocation function. This function is patched out by static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used. It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process. Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes. This is considered acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration. Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be ready. This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.
