HugeTLB usage is a metric that can provide utility for monitors hoping to get more insight into the memory usage patterns in cgroups. It also helps identify if large folios are being distributed efficiently across workloads, so that tasks that can take most advantage of reduced TLB misses are prioritized. While cgroupv2's hugeTLB controller does report this value, some users who wish to track hugeTLB usage might not want to take on the additional overhead or the features of the controller just to use the metric. This patch introduces hugeTLB usage in the memcg stats, mirroring the value in the hugeTLB controller and offering a more fine-grained cgroup-level breakdown of the value in /proc/meminfo.
