slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cache
Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params
instead of embedding it. The rationale is to save memory when kmem
accounting is disabled. However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled
drastically since it was first introduced:
* Initially:
struct memcg_cache_params {
bool is_root_cache;
union {
struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
struct {
struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
struct list_head list;
struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
bool dead;
atomic_t nr_pages;
struct work_struct destroy;
};
};
};
* Now:
struct memcg_cache_params {
bool is_root_cache;
union {
struct {
struct rcu_head rcu_head;
struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
};
struct {
struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
};
};
};
So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore.
OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding
it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths.
Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of
struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection,
while I want to make them linked in the following patch. That said, let
us embed it.
