First - why in the world would you want to disable kernel memory
accounting? I don't think that is even possible (despite not being a
kernel programmer myself) because the kernel must needs account for
every bit of real and virtual memory in the system in order to do its job.
Second - the first note in the doc to which you refer says that it is
hopelessly out of date and further down it indicates it refers to 2.6
kernels and we are now at 4.9.
So now my question boils down to - what is it that you are trying to do
that makes you think you have to disable kernel memory accounting?

Hi CentOS experts,
I am using CentOS 7. Trying to disable kernel memory accounting:
according to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt,
passing cgroup.memory=nokmem to the kernel at boot time, should be able to
archive that.
However it is not the case in my exercise. These are what I have now
$ grep CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM /boot/config-3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64
root=UUID=56568066-5719-46d9-981d-278c7559689b ro quiet cgroup.memory=nokmem
systemd.log_level=debug
But kernel memory is still accounted in user's applications. Any suggestion
on how to chase the issue is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Best Regards,
Wensheng
