From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8faeb1ffd79593c9cd8a2a80ecdda371e3b826cb upstream.
If we reparent the slab objects to the root memcg, when we free the slab
object, we need to update the per-memcg vmstats to keep it correct for
the root memcg. Now this at least affects the vmstat of
NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB for !CONFIG_VMAP_STACK when the thread stack size is
smaller than the PAGE_SIZE.
David said:
"I assume that without this fix that the root memcg's vmstat would
always be inflated if we reparented"
Fixes: ec9f02384f60 ("mm: workingset: fix vmstat counters for shadow nodes")
