Hi, Currently we charge kmem to memcg in alloc_pages if __GFP_KMEMCG is passed. However, since there are only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem, we could call kmemcg charge function explicitly instead. That would remove all kmemcg-related stuff from the general allocation path and make all kmem charges easier to follow. So let's charge kmem explicitly where we want it to be charged (slab, threadinfo) and remove __GFP_KMEMCG. Thanks, Vladimir Davydov (4): sl[au]b: do not charge large allocations to memcg sl[au]b: charge slabs to memcg explicitly fork: charge threadinfo to memcg explicitly mm: kill __GFP_KMEMCG include/linux/gfp.h | 5 ----- include/linux/memcontrol.h | 26 +++++++++++++----------- include/linux/slab.h | 2 +- include/linux/thread_info.h | 2 -- include/trace/events/gfpflags.h | 1 - kernel/fork.c | 13 +++++++++--- mm/memcontrol.c | 42 +++++++++++++++------------------------ mm/page_alloc.c | 35 -------------------------------- mm/slab.c | 7 ++++++- mm/slab_common.c | 6 +----- mm/slub.c | 28 +++++++++++++++++--------- 11 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 100 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
