Hi (please CC me on replies),
In mem_cgroup_alloc() we currently do either kmalloc() or vmalloc() then
followed by memset() to zero the memory. This can be more efficiently
achieved by using kzalloc() and vzalloc().

Use the simpler kzalloc_node()? It's introduced here:

I am not against that.
As looking code, there are many places to use kzalloc_node but few vzalloc_node.
Although it is, Only adding kzalloc_node would make code rather ugly like this.
if (some size > limit)
ptr = kzalloc_node(...);
else {
prt = vmalloc_node(...)
vmalloced = 1;
}
if (ptr && vmalloced)
memset(prt, xxxx);
So if we will add kzalloc_node, we have to add vzalloc_node, too.

I am not against that.
As looking code, there are many places to use kzalloc_node but few vzalloc_node.
Although it is, Only adding kzalloc_node would make code rather ugly like this.
if (some size > limit)
ptr = kzalloc_node(...);
else {
prt = vmalloc_node(...)
vmalloced = 1;
}
if (ptr && vmalloced)
memset(prt, xxxx);
So if we will add kzalloc_node, we have to add vzalloc_node, too.

Looks good to me, but there is also the memset after kmalloc in
alloc_mem_cgroup_per_zone_info(). Can you switch that over as well in
this patch? You can pass __GFP_ZERO to kmalloc_node() for zeroing.
Thanks!

Dang, I missed that one. Thanks for pointing it out.
Hmm, I'm wondering if we should perhaps add kzalloc_node()/vzalloc_node()
just like kzalloc() and vzalloc()..

Hi (please CC me on replies),
Apologies to those who receive this multiple times. I screwed up the To:
field in my original mail :-(
In mem_cgroup_alloc() we currently do either kmalloc() or vmalloc() then
followed by memset() to zero the memory. This can be more efficiently
achieved by using kzalloc() and vzalloc().
