        __GFP_NOWARN is frequently used by kernel code to probe for "how big
        an allocation can I get".  That's a bit lame, but it's used on slow
        paths and is pretty simple.
      
      However, SLAB would still spew a warning when a big allocation happens
      if the __GFP_NOWARN flag is _not_ set to expose kernel bugs.

      slab: propagate tunable values · 943a451a
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables.  When
      creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
      parent cache already had.
      
      This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
      cache is created.  But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
      created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.
      
      Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
      do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
      called at cache initialization.  We can just preset the values, and then
      things work as expected.
      
      It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
      normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
      all caches that are already active.
      
      This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
      memcg_params a bit earlier.  We need this to be already set - which
      memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

      memcg: aggregate memcg cache values in slabinfo · 749c5415
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      When we create caches in memcgs, we need to display their usage
      information somewhere.  We'll adopt a scheme similar to /proc/meminfo,
      with aggregate totals shown in the global file, and per-group information
      stored in the group itself.
      
      For the time being, only reads are allowed in the per-group cache.

      memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears · 55007d84
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original"
      caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
      large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.
      
      Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
      in the 64k pointers range.  Most of the time, we won't be using that much.
      
      What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
      an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches.  Because we
      would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
      array will only grow.  It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
      number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.
      
      We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs.  When we have
      more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
      limit is reached.
      
      Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
      this to happen is when we write to the limit.  At that point, we already
      have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
      mechanism.

      slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache · 2633d7a0
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation.  When the slub
      allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
      memcg.  We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
      the cache to a memcg-specific cache
      
      Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
      version.  We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.
      
      A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
      for sysfs.  Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
      data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

      slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creation · d8843922
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      Some flags are used internally by the allocators for management
      purposes. One example of that is the CFLGS_OFF_SLAB flag that slab uses
      to mark that the metadata for that cache is stored outside of the slab.
      
      No cache should ever pass those as a creation flags. We can just ignore
      this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when duplicating a cache in
      the kmem memcg patches).
      
      Because such flags can vary from allocator to allocator, we allow them
      to make their own decisions on that, defining SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS with
      all flags that are valid at creation time.  Allocators that doesn't have
      any specific flag requirement should define that to mean all flags.
      
      Common code will mask out all flags not belonging to that set.

        *** DEADLOCK ***
      === [ cut here ] ===
      
      This is actually a false positive. Lockdep has no way of knowing the fact
      that the ABBA can actually never happen, because of special semantics of
      cpu_hotplug.refcount and its handling in cpu_hotplug_begin(); the mutual
      exclusion there is not achieved through mutex, but through
      cpu_hotplug.refcount.
      
      The "neither cpu_up() nor cpu_down() will proceed past cpu_hotplug_begin()
      until everyone who called get_online_cpus() will call put_online_cpus()"
      semantics is totally invisible to lockdep.
      
      This patch therefore moves the unlock of slab_mutex so that rcu_barrier()
      is being called with it unlocked. It has two advantages:
      
      - it slightly reduces hold time of slab_mutex; as it's used to protect
        the cachep list, it's not necessary to hold it over kmem_cache_free()
        call any more
      - it silences the lockdep false positive warning, as it avoids lockdep ever
        learning about slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency
