[PATCH -mm 3/4] fork: charge threadinfo to memcg explicitly

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Wed Mar 26 2014 - 11:29:29 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 toward removing __GFP_KMEMCG. It makes fork charge task
threadinfo pages explicitly instead of passing __GFP_KMEMCG to
alloc_pages.
