[PATCH v3 14/28] slab: create duplicate cache

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Fri May 25 2012 - 09:13:28 EST


This patch provides kmem_cache_dup(), that duplicates
a cache for a memcg, preserving its creation properties.
Object size, alignment and flags are all respected.
An exception is the SLAB_PANIC flag, since cache creation
inside a memcg should not be fatal.

This code is mostly written by Suleiman Souhlal,
with some adaptations and simplifications by me.

[ v3: add get_online cpus before the slab mutex ]
