[PATCH 0/2] Account PMD page tables to the process

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

Currently we don't account PMD page tables to the process. It can lead to
local DoS: unprivileged user can allocate >500 MiB on x86_64 per process
without being noticed by oom-killer or memory cgroup.

Proposed fix adds accounting for PMD table the same way we account for PTE
tables.

There're few corner case in the accounting (see patch 2/2) which have not
well tested yet. If anybody know any other cases we should handle, please
let me know.

Kirill A. Shutemov (2):
  mm: rename mm->nr_ptes to mm->nr_pgtables
  mm: account pmd page tables to the process
