[PATCH -mm v2 2/2] mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG
From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Tue Apr 01 2014 - 03:39:03 EST
Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.
The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They
only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating
or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of
the current memory cgroup.
