memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliases
Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of kmem_cache_destroy(). This is wrong, because the root cache will not necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0), kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this one: kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B W 3.13.0+ #117 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x49/0x5b kmem_cache_destroy+0xdf/0xf0 kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children+0x97/0xc0 kmem_cache_destroy+0xf/0xf0 xfs_mru_cache_uninit+0x21/0x30 [xfs] exit_xfs_fs+0x2e/0xc44 [xfs] SyS_delete_module+0x198/0x1f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a memcg cache - the kernel will panic. This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps a reference to its parent.
