Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm: memcontrol: drop kmemcg_id and use the memcg ID for list_lru indexing
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 19:01:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907110111.2286932-2-qinyuntan@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907110111.2286932-1-qinyuntan@linux.alibaba.com>

kmemcg_id is a copy of the memcg ID assigned in memcg_online_kmem(),
and is only used as the list_lru xarray index.  With
cgroup.memory=nokmem the assignment never happens, so every memcg
resolves to the per-node lists.  The next patch needs the index to
work under nokmem as well, so drop the copy and use the memcg ID.

The ID works just as well as the copy did: root and NULL still
return -1 and use the per-node lists, and the ID is only released
after the list_lru reparenting, so a stale or recycled ID can never
reach a live list_lru entry.

The early return of memcg_offline_kmem() under nokmem is dropped as
well, so the reparenting also covers lrus that stay memcg aware
without kmem accounting.
