[PATCH v3 21/28] memcg: destroy memcg caches

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Fri May 25 2012 - 09:09:35 EST


This patch implements destruction of memcg caches. Right now,
only caches where our reference counter is the last remaining are
deleted. If there are any other reference counters around, we just
leave the caches lying around until they go away.

When that happen, a destruction function is called from the cache
code. Caches are only destroyed in process context, so we queue them
up for later processing in the general case.
