[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: memcg/slab: Properly set up gfp flags for objcg pointer array

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue May 04 2021 - 09:24:47 EST


Since the merging of the new slab memory controller in v5.9, the page
structure may store a pointer to obj_cgroup pointer array for slab pages.
Currently, only the __GFP_ACCOUNT bit is masked off. However, the array
is not readily reclaimable and doesn't need to come from the DMA buffer.
So those GFP bits should be masked off as well.

Do the flag bit clearing at memcg_alloc_page_obj_cgroups() to make sure
that it is consistently applied no matter where it is called.

Fixes: 286e04b8ed7a ("mm: memcg/slab: allocate obj_cgroups for non-root slab pages")
