Even "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" wasn't able to free those pages. These offline but not freed memcgs tend to increase in number over time with the side effect that percpu memory consumption as shown in /proc/meminfo also increases over time. In order to find out more information about those pages that pin offline memcgs, the page_owner feature is extended to print memory cgroup information especially whether the cgroup is offline or not. RCU read lock is taken when memcg is being accessed to make sure that it won't be freed.
