mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache creation delayed issue
commit86d9f48534upstream. There is a bug report that SLAB makes extreme load average due to over 2000 kworker thread. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172981 This issue is caused by kmemcg feature that try to create new set of kmem_caches for each memcg. Recently, kmem_cache creation is slowed by synchronize_sched() and futher kmem_cache creation is also delayed since kmem_cache creation is synchronized by a global slab_mutex lock. So, the number of kworker that try to create kmem_cache increases quietly. synchronize_sched() is for lockless access to node's shared array but it's not needed when a new kmem_cache is created. So, this patch rules out that case.
