[PATCH] btrfs: Fix slab accounting flags

From: Nikolay Borisov
Date: Thu Jun 23 2016 - 14:17:26 EST


BTRFS is using a variety of slab caches to satisfy internal needs.
Those slab caches are always allocated with the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT,
meaning allocations from the caches are going to be accounted as
SReclaimable. At the same time btrfs is not registering any shrinkers
whatsoever, thus preventing memory from the slabs to be shrunk. This
means those caches are not in fact reclaimable.

To fix this remove the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on all caches apart from the
inode cache, since this one is being freed by the generic VFS super_block
shrinker. Also set the transaction related caches as SLAB_TEMPORARY,
to better document the lifetime of the objects (it just translates
to SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT).
