Subject: memcg: enable accounting for ldt_struct objects
Each task can request own LDT and force the kernel to allocate up to 64Kb
memory per-mm.
There are legitimate workloads with hundreds of processes and there can be
hundreds of workloads running on large machines. The unaccounted memory
can cause isolation issues between the workloads particularly on highly
utilized machines.
It makes sense to account for this objects to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.
