Subject[PATCH] sched/auto_group: fix consume memory even if add 'noautogroup' in the cmdline
Date
We have a server which have 200 CPUs and 8G memory, there is auto_group creation 
which will almost consume 12MB memory even if add 'noautogroup' in the kernel
boot parameter. In addtion, SLUB per cpu partial caches freeing that is local to
a processor which requires the taking of locks at the price of more indeterminism
in the latency of the free. This patch fix it by check noautogroup earlier to avoid
free after unnecessary memory consumption.
