slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional

Browse source 
SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files.  Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches.  SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.

Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace.  Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.

What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches.  While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.

This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches.  It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.

slub_memcg_sysfs= [MM, SLUB]
Determines whether to enable sysfs directories for
memory cgroup sub-caches. 1 to enable, 0 to disable.
The default is determined by CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON.
Enabling this can lead to a very high number of debug
directories and files being created under
/sys/kernel/slub.
slub_max_order= [MM, SLUB]
Determines the maximum allowed order for slabs.
A high setting may cause OOMs due to memory

SLUB creates a directory under /sys/kernel/slab for each
allocation cache to host info and debug files. If memory
cgroup is enabled, each cache can have per memory cgroup
caches. SLUB can create the same sysfs directories for these
caches under /sys/kernel/slab/CACHE/cgroup but it can lead
to a very high number of debug files being created. This is
controlled by slub_memcg_sysfs boot parameter and this
config option determines the parameter's default value.
