The patch titled Subject: mm: memcg/slab: stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-stop-setting-page-mem_cgroup-pointer-for-slab-pages.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx> Subject: mm: memcg/slab: stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages Every slab page charged to a non-root memory cgroup has a pointer to the memory cgroup and holds a reference to it, which protects a non-empty memory cgroup from being released. At the same time the page has a pointer to the corresponding kmem_cache, and also hold a reference to the kmem_cache. And kmem_cache by itself holds a reference to the cgroup. So there is clearly some redundancy, which allows to stop setting the page->mem_cgroup pointer and rely on getting memcg pointer indirectly via kmem_cache. Further it will allow to change this pointer easier, without a need to go over all charged pages. So let's stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages, and stop using the css refcounter directly for protecting the memory cgroup from going away. Instead rely on kmem_cache as an intermediate object. Make sure that vmstats and shrinker lists are working as previously, as well as /proc/kpagecgroup interface.
