This function returns the gfp flags that are always applied to

Why is this needed? Can't the caller just call
mem_cgroup_get_kmem_cache(cachep, flags | cachep->allocflags) ?

Because slub calls this cachep->allocflags, while slab calls it
cachep->gfpflags.


So what?
That function is only called from slab.c anyway. Let slab call it
mem_cgroup_get_kmem_cache(cachep, flags | cachep->allocflags);
and slub
mem_cgroup_get_kmem_cache(cachep, flags | cachep->gfpflags);
