A copy +of each kmem_cache is created everytime the cache is touched by the first time +from inside the memcg. The creation is done lazily, so some objects can still be +skipped while the cache is being created. All objects in a slab page should +belong to the same memcg. This only fails to hold when a task is migrated to a +different memcg during the page allocation by the cache. + * sockets memory pressure: some sockets protocols have memory pressure thresholds. The Memory Controller allows them to be controlled individually per cgroup, instead of globally. |
