Patch series "mm: memcg accounting of percpu memory", v3. This patchset adds percpu memory accounting to memory cgroups. It's based on the rework of the slab controller and reuses concepts and features introduced for the per-object slab accounting. Percpu memory is becoming more and more widely used by various subsystems, and the total amount of memory controlled by the percpu allocator can make a good part of the total memory. As an example, bpf maps can consume a lot of percpu memory, and they are created by a user. Also, some cgroup internals (e.g. memory controller statistics) can be quite large. On a machine with many CPUs and big number of cgroups they can consume hundreds of megabytes. So the lack of memcg accounting is creating a breach in the memory isolation. Similar to the slab memory, percpu memory should be accounted by default. Percpu allocations by their nature are scattered over multiple pages, so they can't be tracked on the per-page basis. So the per-object tracking introduced by the new slab controller is reused. The patchset implements charging of percpu allocations, adds memcg-level statistics, enables accounting for percpu allocations made by memory cgroup internals and provides some basic tests. To implement the accounting of percpu memory without a significant memory and performance overhead the following approach is used: all accounted allocations are placed into a separate percpu chunk (or chunks). These chunks are similar to default chunks, except that they do have an attached vector of pointers to obj_cgroup objects, which is big enough to save a pointer for each allocated object. On the allocation, if the allocation has to be accounted (__GFP_ACCOUNT is passed, the allocating process belongs to a non-root memory cgroup, etc), the memory cgroup is getting charged and if the maximum limit is not exceeded the allocation is performed using a memcg-aware chunk. Otherwise -ENOMEM is returned or the allocation is forced over the limit, depending on gfp (as any other kernel memory allocation). The memory cgroup information is saved in the obj_cgroup vector at the corresponding offset. On the release time the memcg information is restored from the vector and the cgroup is getting uncharged. Unaccounted allocations (at this point the absolute majority of all percpu allocations) are performed in the old way, so no additional overhead is expected. To avoid pinning dying memory cgroups by outstanding allocations, obj_cgroup API is used instead of directly saving memory cgroup pointers. obj_cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a standalone reference counter. The trick is that it can be atomically swapped to point at the parent cgroup, so that the original memory cgroup can be released prior to all objects, which has been charged to it. Because all charges and statistics are fully recursive, it's perfectly correct to uncharge the parent cgroup instead. This scheme is used in the slab memory accounting, and percpu memory can just follow the scheme. This patch (of 5): To implement accounting of percpu memory we need the information about the size of freed object. Return it from pcpu_free_area().

README
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.
