[PATCH v2 21/29] slab: per-memcg accounting of slab caches

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Fri May 11 2012 - 13:51:49 EST


This patch charges allocation of a slab object to a particular
memcg.

The cache is selected with mem_cgroup_get_kmem_cache(),
which is the biggest overhead we pay here, because
it happens at all allocations. However, other than forcing
a function call, this function is not very expensive, and
try to return as soon as we realize we are not a memcg cache.

The charge/uncharge functions are heavier, but are only called
for new page allocations.

Code is heavily inspired by Suleiman's, with adaptations to
the patchset and minor simplifications by me.
