[PATCH] memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache creation

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Tue Feb 04 2014 - 02:39:57 EST


This patch cleanups the memcg cache creation path as follows:
- Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
from kmem_cache_create_memcg(). This allows us to get rid of the
mutex protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting,
because the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.
- Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function serves as a proxy
to kmem_cache_create_memcg(). After separating the cache name
creation path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's
inline it.
