From 17cc4dfeda97636d67e83de8cd41940b65a93bc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 15:41:36 -0800 Subject: slab: use memcg_kmem_cache_wq for slab destruction operations If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of kworkers. Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too. While at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a per-cpu one with concurrency limited to 1. It's generally preferable to use per-cpu workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough. This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.
