Pagecache pages are charged at the allocation time and holding a
reference to the original memory cgroup until being reclaimed.
Depending on the memory pressure, specific patterns of the page
sharing between different cgroups and the cgroup creation and
destruction rates, a large number of dying memory cgroups can be
pinned by pagecache pages. It makes the page reclaim less efficient
and wastes memory.
We can convert LRU pages and most other raw memcg pins to the objcg
direction to fix this problem, and then the page->memcg will always
point to an object cgroup pointer.
Therefore, the infrastructure of objcg no longer only serves
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM. In this patch, we move the infrastructure of the
objcg out of the scope of the CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM so that the LRU pages
can reuse it to charge pages.
We know that the LRU pages are not accounted at the root level. But
the page->memcg_data points to the root_mem_cgroup. So the
page->memcg_data of the LRU pages always points to a valid pointer.
But the root_mem_cgroup dose not have an object cgroup. If we use
obj_cgroup APIs to charge the LRU pages, we should set the
page->memcg_data to a root object cgroup. So we also allocate an
object cgroup for the root_mem_cgroup.
