Memory cgroups are using large chunks of percpu memory to store vmstat data. Yet this memory is not accounted at all, so in the case when there are many (dying) cgroups, it's not exactly clear where all the memory is. Because the size of memory cgroup internal structures can dramatically exceed the size of object or page which is pinning it in the memory, it's not a good idea to simple ignore it. It actually breaks the isolation between cgroups. Let's account the consumed percpu memory to the parent cgroup.
