[PATCH] dcache: fix indirectly reclaimable memory accounting for CONFIG_SLOB

From: Roman Gushchin
Date: Mon Mar 12 2018 - 15:42:54 EST


Indirectly reclaimable memory accounting uses
kmalloc_size()/kmalloc_index() functions to estimate
amount of consumed memory. kmalloc_size() always returns 0
and kmalloc_index() is not defined for CONFIG_SLOB,
and so it breaks the build.

Fix this by using ksize() function instead.

Slub:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Avail
MemAvailable: 7857112 kB
$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Avail
MemAvailable: 7781312 kB

Slob:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Avail
MemAvailable: 7853272 kB
$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Avail
MemAvailable: 7616644 kB

indirect.py:
import os

for iter in range (0, 1000000):
try:
name = ("/some_long_name_%d" % iter) + "_" * 220
os.stat(name)
except Exception:
pass
