[PATCH RESEND 6/8] arch: x86: charge page tables to kmemcg

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Tue May 24 2016 - 05:24:53 EST


Page tables can bite a relatively big chunk off system memory and their
allocations are easy to trigger from userspace, so they should be
accounted to kmemcg.

This patch marks page table allocations as __GFP_ACCOUNT for x86. Note
we must not charge allocations of kernel page tables, because they can
be shared among processes from different cgroups so accounting them to a
particular one can pin other cgroups for indefinitely long. So we clear
__GFP_ACCOUNT flag if a page table is allocated for the kernel.
