The patch titled
Subject: memcg: do not allow to disable tcp accounting after limit is set
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memcg-do-not-allow-to-disable-tcp-accounting-after-limit-is-set.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: memcg: do not allow to disable tcp accounting after limit is set
There are two bits defined for cg_proto->flags - MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVATED and
MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVE - both are set in tcp_update_limit, but the former is
never cleared while the latter can be cleared by unsetting the limit.
This allows to disable tcp socket accounting for new sockets after it was
enabled by writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes while still
guaranteeing that memcg_socket_limit_enabled static key will be
decremented on memcg destruction.
This functionality looks dubious, because it is not clear what a use case
would be. By enabling tcp accounting a user accepts the price. If they
then find the performance degradation unacceptable, they can always
restart their workload with tcp accounting disabled. It does not seem
there is any need to flip it while the workload is running.
Besides, it contradicts to how kmem accounting API works: writing whatever
to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes enables kmem accounting for the cgroup in
question, after which it cannot be disabled. Therefore one might expect
that writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes just enables socket
accounting w/o limiting it, which might be useful by itself, but it isn't
true.
Since this API peculiarity is not documented anywhere, I propose to drop
it. This will allow to simplify the code by dropping cg_proto->flags.
