[PATCH -mm 2/4] sl[au]b: charge slabs to memcg explicitly

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Wed Mar 26 2014 - 11:29:00 EST


We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so
instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with
__GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there. All kmem
charges will be easier to follow that way.

This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG. It removes __GFP_KMEMCG
from memcg caches' allocflags. Instead it makes slab allocation path
call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's
memcg params.
