From 10befea91b61c4e2c2d1df06a2e978d182fcf792 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Gushchin Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 23:21:27 -0700 Subject: mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all allocations Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted allocations, we can use just one. The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on demand and filled only for accounted allocations. It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache clones for accounted allocations. There is no more need to create them, accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc. It's a quite significant simplification. Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are expected. On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.
