Hi.

This is a proposal I've got for how to finally settle down the
question of which slabs should be tracked. The patch I am providing
is for discussion only, and should apply ontop of Suleiman's latest
version posted to the list.

The idea is to create a new file, memory.kmem.slabs_allowed.
I decided not to overload the slabinfo file for that, but I can,
if you ultimately want to. I just think it is cleaner this way.
As a small rationale, I'd like to somehow show which caches are
available but disabled. And yet, keep the format compatible with
/proc/slabinfo.

Reading from this file will provide this information
Writers should write a string:
 [+-]cache_name

The wild card * is accepted, but only that. I am leaving
any complex processing to userspace.

The * wildcard, though, is nice. It allows us to do:
 -* (disable all)
 +cache1
 +cache2

and so on.

Part of this patch is actually converting the slab pointers in memcg
to a complex memcg-specific structure that can hold a disabled pointer.

We could actually store it in a free bit in the address, but that is
a first version. Let me know if this is how you would like me to tackle
this.

With a system like this (either this, or something alike), my opposition
to Suleiman's idea of tracking everything under the sun basically vanishes,
since I can then selectively disable most of them.

I still prefer a special kmalloc call than a GFP flag, though.
