[Devel] [PATCH v4 00/19] slab accounting for memcg

[Glauber Costa]

This is a followup to the previous kmem series. I divided them logically
so it gets easier for reviewers. But I believe they are ready to be merged
together (although we can do a two-pass merge if people would prefer)

Throwaway git tree found at:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/glommer/memcg.git kmemcg-slab

I've bundled the following important changes since last submission:
* no more messing with the cache name after destruction: aggregated figures
  are shown in /proc/slabinfo.
* memory.kmem.slabinfo file with memcg-specific cache information during its
  lifespan.
* full slub attribute propagation.
* reusing the standard workqueue mechanism.
* cache-side indexing, instead of memcg-side indexing. The memcg css_id serves
  as an index, and we don't need extra indexes for that.
* struct memcg_cache_params no longer bundled in struct kmem_cache: We now will
  have only a pointer in the struct, allowing memory consumption when disable to
  fall down ever further.

Patches need to be adjusted to cope with those changes, but other than that,
look the same - just a lot simpler.

I also put quite some effort to overcome my writing disability and get some
decent changelogs in place.

For a detailed explanation about this whole effort, please refer to my previous
post (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/8/119)
