    memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache · d7f25f8a
    Glauber Costa 提交于
    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.
