Roman Gushchin 63b02ef7dc mm: memcg/slab: synchronize access to kmem_cache dying flag using a spinlock
Currently the memcg_params.dying flag and the corresponding workqueue used
for the asynchronous deactivation of kmem_caches is synchronized using the
slab_mutex.

It makes impossible to check this flag from the irq context, which will be
required in order to implement asynchronous release of kmem_caches.

So let's switch over to the irq-save flavor of the spinlock-based
synchronization.

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.
