But this also means that two different memcgs might share the same cache
and so the pages for that cache, no? Actually it would depend on timing
because a new page would be chaged for the current allocator.

cachep->memcg_params->memcg == memcg would prevent from such a merge
previously AFAICS, or am I still confused?
