slub: slub-specific propagation changes
SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by the allocator. We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields. Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and then ->store() in the memcg cache. The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee. To avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache. We will then get a buffer big enough to hold it. The corolary to this, is that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active.
