[PATCH v3 18/28] slub: charge allocation to a memcg

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Fri May 25 2012 - 09:12:49 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.

The kmalloc_no_account variant is patched so the base
function is used and we don't even try to do cache
selection.
