[PATCH -mm 6/6] memcg: release memcg_cache_id on css offline

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Mon Jul 21 2014 - 07:47:58 EST


The memcg_cache_id (mem_cgroup->kmemcg_id) is used as the index in root
cache's memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array. Whenever a new kmem
active cgroup is created we must allocate an id for it. As a result, the
array size must always be greater than or equal to the number of memory
cgroups that have memcg_cache_id assigned to them.

Currently we release the id only on css free. This is bad, because css
can be zombieing around for quite a long time after css offline,
occupying an array slot and making the arrays grow larger and larger.
Although the number of arrays is limited - only root kmem caches have
them - we can still experience problems while creating new kmem active
cgroups, because they might require arrays relocation and each array
relocation will require costly high-order page allocations if there are
a lot of ids allocated. The situation will become even worse when
per-memcg list_lru's are introduced, because each super block has a
list_lru, and the number of super blocks is practically unlimited.

So let's release memcg_cache_id on css offline - there's nothing that
prevents us from doing so.
