[PATCH bpf-next v5 0/2] memcg accounting for BPF arena

[Puranjay Mohan]

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260102181333.3033679-1-puranjay@kernel.org/
Changes in v4->v5:
- Remove unused variables from bpf_map_alloc_pages() (CI)

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260102151852.570285-1-puranjay@kernel.org/
Changes in v3->v4:
- Do memcg set/recover in arena_reserve_pages() rather than
  bpf_arena_reserve_pages() for symmetry with other kfuncs (Alexei)

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251231141434.3416822-1-puranjay@kernel.org/
Changes in v2->v3:
- Remove memcg accounting from bpf_map_alloc_pages() as the caller does
  it already. (Alexei)
- Do memcg set/recover in arena_alloc/free_pages() rather than
  bpf_arena_alloc/free_pages(), it reduces copy pasting in
  sleepable/non_sleepable functions.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251230153006.1347742-1-puranjay@kernel.org/
Changes in v1->v2:
- Return both pointers through arguments from bpf_map_memcg_enter and
  make it return void. (Alexei)
- Add memcg accounting in arena_free_worker (AI)

This set adds memcg accounting logic into arena kfuncs and other places
that do allocations in arena.c.

[PATCH bpf-next v5 1/2] bpf: syscall: Introduce memcg enter/exit helpers

[Puranjay Mohan]

Introduce bpf_map_memcg_enter() and bpf_map_memcg_exit() helpers to
reduce code duplication in memcg context management.

bpf_map_memcg_enter() gets the memcg from the map, sets it as active,
and returns both the previous and the now active memcg.

bpf_map_memcg_exit() restores the previous active memcg and releases the
reference obtained during enter.

[PATCH bpf-next v5 2/2] bpf: arena: Reintroduce memcg accounting

[Puranjay Mohan]

When arena allocations were converted from bpf_map_alloc_pages() to
kmalloc_nolock() to support non-sleepable contexts, memcg accounting was
inadvertently lost. This commit restores proper memory accounting for
all arena-related allocations.

All arena related allocations are accounted into memcg of the process
that created bpf_arena.
