Subject: mm: kmem: add lockdep assertion to obj_cgroup_memcg
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2024 17:43:30 +0800

The obj_cgroup_memcg() is supposed to safe to prevent the returned memory
cgroup from being freed only when the caller is holding the rcu read lock
or objcg_lock or cgroup_mutex.  It is very easy to ignore thoes conditions
when users call some upper APIs which call obj_cgroup_memcg() internally
like mem_cgroup_from_slab_obj() (See the link below).  So it is better to
add lockdep assertion to obj_cgroup_memcg() to find those issues ASAP.

Because there is no user of obj_cgroup_memcg() holding objcg_lock to make
the returned memory cgroup safe, do not add objcg_lock assertion (We
should export objcg_lock if we really want to do).  Additionally, this is
some internal implementation detail of memcg and should not be accessible
outside memcg code.

Some users like __mem_cgroup_uncharge() do not care the lifetime of the
returned memory cgroup, which just want to know if the folio is charged to
a memory cgroup, therefore, they do not need to hold the needed locks.  In
which case, introduce a new helper folio_memcg_charged() to do this. 
Compare it to folio_memcg(), it could eliminate a memory access of
objcg->memcg for kmem, actually, a really small gain.
