[PATCH v1 4/4] mm: convert page kmemcg type to a page memcg flag

From: Roman Gushchin
Date: Tue Sep 22 2020 - 16:57:00 EST


PageKmemcg flag is currently defined as a page type (like buddy,
offline, table and guard). Semantically it means that the page
was accounted as a kernel memory by the page allocator and has
to be uncharged on the release.

As a side effect of defining the flag as a page type, the accounted
page can't be mapped to userspace (look at page_has_type() and
comments above). In particular, this blocks the accounting of
vmalloc-backed memory used by some bpf maps, because these maps
do map the memory to userspace.

One option is to fix it by complicating the access to page->mapcount,
which provides some free bits for page->page_type.

But it's way better to move this flag into page->memcg_data flags.
Indeed, the flag makes no sense without enabled memory cgroups
and memory cgroup pointer set in particular.

This commit replaces PageKmemcg() and __SetPageKmemcg() with
PageMemcgKmem() and SetPageMemcgKmem(). __ClearPageKmemcg()
can be simple deleted because clear_page_mem_cgroup() already
does the job.

As a bonus, on !CONFIG_MEMCG build the PageMemcgKmem() check will
be compiled out.
