[PATCH v4 07/14] mm: Allocate kernel pages to the right memcg

Glauber Costa

When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the
page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate
the allocation. Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed.

To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would
necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason,
whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible
for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at
free_pages() time. This is done by the invocation of
__free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().

[ v2: inverted test order to avoid a memcg_get leak,
free_accounted_pages simplification ]
[ v4: test for TIF_MEMDIE at newpage_charge ]
