[PATCH v6 27/29] slab: propagate tunables values

Glauber Costa
2012-11-01T12:09:12Z

SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables.
When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables
the parent cache already had.

This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.

Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and
then things work as expected.

It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.

This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
memcg_params a bit earlier. We need this to be already set - which
memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()
