mm/memcg: use kmem_cache when alloc memcg
When tracing mem_cgroup_alloc() with kmalloc ftrace, we observe: kmalloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xd8/0x5b4 ptr=000000003e4c3799 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false The output indicates that while allocating mem_cgroup struct (2312 bytes), the slab allocator actually provides 4096-byte chunks. This occurs because: 1. The slab allocator predefines bucket sizes from 64B to 8096B 2. The mem_cgroup allocation size (2312B) falls between the 2KB and 4KB slabs 3. The allocator rounds up to the nearest larger slab (4KB), resulting in ~1KB wasted memory per allocation This patch introduces a dedicated kmem_cache for mem_cgroup structs, achieving precise memory allocation. Post-patch ftrace verification shows: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=00000000695c1806 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2368 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false Each memcg alloc offer 2368bytes(include hw cacheline align), compare to 4096, avoid waste.
