Currently each charged slab page holds a reference to the cgroup to which it's charged. Kmem_caches are held by the memcg and are released all together with the memory cgroup. It means that none of kmem_caches are released unless at least one reference to the memcg exists, which is very far from optimal. Let's rework it in a way that allows releasing individual kmem_caches as soon as the cgroup is offline, the kmem_cache is empty and there are no pending allocations. To make it possible, let's introduce a new percpu refcounter for non-root kmem caches. The counter is initialized to the percpu mode, and is switched to the atomic mode during kmem_cache deactivation. The counter is bumped for every charged page and also for every running allocation. So the kmem_cache can't be released unless all allocations complete. To shutdown non-active empty kmem_caches, let's reuse the work queue, previously used for the kmem_cache deactivation. Once the reference counter reaches 0, let's schedule an asynchronous kmem_cache release. * I used the following simple approach to test the performance (stolen from another patchset by T. Harding): time find / -name fname-no-exist echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches repeat 10 times Results: orig patched real 0m1.455s real 0m1.355s user 0m0.206s user 0m0.219s sys 0m0.855s sys 0m0.807s real 0m1.487s real 0m1.699s user 0m0.221s user 0m0.256s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.948s real 0m1.515s real 0m1.505s user 0m0.183s user 0m0.215s sys 0m0.876s sys 0m0.858s real 0m1.291s real 0m1.380s user 0m0.193s user 0m0.198s sys 0m0.843s sys 0m0.786s real 0m1.364s real 0m1.374s user 0m0.180s user 0m0.182s sys 0m0.868s sys 0m0.806s real 0m1.352s real 0m1.312s user 0m0.201s user 0m0.212s sys 0m0.820s sys 0m0.761s real 0m1.302s real 0m1.349s user 0m0.205s user 0m0.203s sys 0m0.803s sys 0m0.792s real 0m1.334s real 0m1.301s user 0m0.194s user 0m0.201s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.779s real 0m1.426s real 0m1.434s user 0m0.216s user 0m0.181s sys 0m0.824s sys 0m0.864s real 0m1.350s real 0m1.295s user 0m0.200s user 0m0.190s sys 0m0.842s sys 0m0.811s So it looks like the difference is not noticeable in this test.
