Currently there are two lists of kmem_caches: 1) slab_caches, which contains all kmem_caches, 2) slab_root_caches, which contains only root kmem_caches. And there is some preprocessor magic to have a single list if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM isn't enabled. It was required earlier because the number of non-root kmem_caches was proportional to the number of memory cgroups and could reach really big values. Now, when it cannot exceed the number of root kmem_caches, there is really no reason to maintain two lists. We never iterate over the slab_root_caches list on any hot paths, so it's perfectly fine to iterate over slab_caches and filter out non-root kmem_caches. It allows to remove a lot of config-dependent code and two pointers from the kmem_cache structure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
