page_cgroup: reduce allocation overhead for page_cgroup array for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
Currently we are allocating a single page_cgroup array per memory section (stored in mem_section->base) when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is selected. This is correct but memory inefficient solution because the allocated memory (unless we fall back to vmalloc) is not kmalloc friendly: - 32b - 16384 entries (20B per entry) fit into 327680B so the 524288B slab cache is used - 32b with PAE - 131072 entries with 2621440B fit into 4194304B - 64b - 32768 entries (40B per entry) fit into 2097152 cache This is ~37% wasted space per memory section and it sumps up for the whole memory. On a x86_64 machine it is something like 6MB per 1GB of RAM. We can reduce the internal fragmentation by using alloc_pages_exact which allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned blocks so we will get down to <4kB wasted memory per section which is much better. We still need a fallback to vmalloc because we have no guarantees that we will have a continuous memory of that size (order-10) later on during the hotplug events.
