Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] mm: memcg/slab: Disable cache merging for KMALLOC_NORMAL caches
Date:   Wed,  5 May 2021 16:06:10 -0400
Message-Id: <20210505200610.13943-4-longman@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20210505200610.13943-1-longman@redhat.com>
References: <20210505200610.13943-1-longman@redhat.com>
Precedence: bulk

The KMALLOC_NORMAL (kmalloc-<n>) caches are for unaccounted objects only
when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is enabled. To make sure that this condition
remains true, we will have to prevent KMALOC_NORMAL caches to merge
with other kmem caches. This is now done by setting its refcount to -1
right after its creation.
