I've tried to make a prototype, but realized that I don't know how to do
it in a right way with SLUB (without disabling caches merging, etc)
and ended up debugging various memory corruptions.
memcg/kmem changes required to switch between different ways of storing
the memcg pointer are pretty minimal (diff below).
There are two functions which SLAB/SLUB should provide:
void set_obj_cgroup(struct kmem_cache *s, void *ptr, struct obj_cgroup *objcg);
struct obj_cgroup *obtain_obj_cgroup(struct kmem_cache *s, void *ptr);
Ideally, obtain_obj_cgroup should work with an arbitrary kernel pointer, e.g.
a pointer to some field in the structure allocated using kmem_cache_alloc().
Christopher, will you be able to help with the SLUB implementation?
It will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
