Subject: [PATCH -mm 3/4] memcg, slab: change memcg::slab_caches_mutex vs slab_mutex locking order
When creating/destroying a kmem cache for a memcg we must hold two locks
- memcg::slab_caches_mutex, which protects memcg caches list, and the
slab_mutex taken by kmem_cache_create/destroy. Currently we first take
the slab_mutex and then in memcg_{un}register_cache take the memcg's
slab_caches_mutex in order to synchronize changes to memcg caches list.
Such a locking order create the ugly dependency, which prevents us from
calling kmem_cache_shrink/destroy while iterating per-memcg caches list,
because we must hold memcg::slab_caches_mutex to protect against changes
to the list. As a result, in mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we can't just
shrink and destroy a memcg cache if it's get emptied. Instead we
schedule an async work that does the trick.
This patch changes the locking order of the two mutexes to opposite so
that we could get rid of the memcg cache destruction work (this is done
in the next patch).
