From: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, memcg: fix build error around the usage of kmem_caches When I manually set default n to MEMCG_KMEM in init/Kconfig, bellow error occurs, mm/slab_common.c: In function 'memcg_slab_start': mm/slab_common.c:1530:30: error: 'struct mem_cgroup' has no member named 'kmem_caches' return seq_list_start(&memcg->kmem_caches, *pos); ^ mm/slab_common.c: In function 'memcg_slab_next': mm/slab_common.c:1537:32: error: 'struct mem_cgroup' has no member named 'kmem_caches' return seq_list_next(p, &memcg->kmem_caches, pos); ^ mm/slab_common.c: In function 'memcg_slab_show': mm/slab_common.c:1551:16: error: 'struct mem_cgroup' has no member named 'kmem_caches' if (p == memcg->kmem_caches.next) ^ CC arch/x86/xen/smp.o mm/slab_common.c: In function 'memcg_slab_start': mm/slab_common.c:1531:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type] } ^ mm/slab_common.c: In function 'memcg_slab_next': mm/slab_common.c:1538:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type] } ^ That's because kmem_caches is defined only when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is set, while memcg_slab_start() will use it no matter CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is defined or not. By the way, the reason I mannuly undefined CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is to verify whether my some other code change is still stable when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not set. Unfortunately, the existing code has been already unstable since v4.11.
