[PATCH] mm, slab: eagerly delete inactive offlined SLABs

From: Shakeel Butt
Date: Wed Mar 21 2018 - 18:43:34 EST


With kmem cgroup support, high memcgs churn can leave behind a lot of
empty kmem_caches. Usually such kmem_caches will be destroyed when the
corresponding memcg gets released but the memcg release can be
arbitrarily delayed. These empty kmem_caches wastes cache_reaper's time.
So, the reaper should destroy such empty offlined kmem_caches.
