Subject: [PATCH -mm 0/8] memcg: reparent kmem on css offline

Hi,

This patch set introduces re-parenting of kmem charges on memcg css
offline. The idea lying behind it is very simple - instead of pointing
from kmem objects (kmem caches, non-slab kmem pages) directly to the
memcg which they are charged against, we make them point to a proxy
object, mem_cgroup_kmem_context, which, in turn, points to the memcg
which it belongs to. As a result on memcg offline, it's enough to only
re-parent the memcg's mem_cgroup_kmem_context.

Note, reparented kmem contexts will hang around until there is at least
one object accounted to them, but since they are small (especially
comparing to struct mem_cgroup), it's no big deal.

Reviews are appreciated.

Thanks,

Vladimir Davydov (8):
  memcg: add pointer from memcg_cache_params to owner cache
  memcg: keep all children of each root cache on a list
  slab: guarantee unique kmem cache naming
  slub: remove kmemcg id from create_unique_id
  memcg: rework non-slab kmem pages charge path
  memcg: introduce kmem context
  memcg: move some kmem definitions upper
  memcg: reparent kmem context on memcg offline
