Alternatively, > we could change the slob code to allow using MEMCG. I'm curious, was this a random config or do you actually use CONFIG_SLOB && CONFIG_MEMCG? Excluding CONFIG_MEMCG completely for slob seems harsh, but I would prefer not littering the source with #if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG) && (defined(CONFIG_SLAB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB)) or #if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG) && !defined(CONFIG_SLOB) for such a special case. The #ifdefs are already out of hand in there. Vladimir, what would you think of simply doing this? diff --git a/mm/slab.h b/mm/slab.h index 5adec08..0b3ec4b 100644 --- a/mm/slab.h +++ b/mm/slab.h @@ -25,6 +25,9 @@ struct kmem_cache { int refcount; /* Use counter */ void (*ctor)(void *); /* Called on object slot creation */ struct list_head list; /* List of all slab caches on the system */ +#ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG + struct memcg_cache_params memcg_params; +#endif }; #endif /* CONFIG_SLOB */ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
