[PATCH v2] mm: slab: make page_cgroup_ino() to recognize non-compound slab pages properly

From: Roman Gushchin
Date: Wed Oct 30 2019 - 21:22:03 EST


page_cgroup_ino() doesn't return a valid memcg pointer for non-compound
slab pages, because it depends on PgHead AND PgSlab flags to be set
to determine the memory cgroup from the kmem_cache.
It's correct for compound pages, but not for generic small pages. Those
don't have PgHead set, so it ends up returning zero.

Fix this by replacing the condition to PageSlab() && !PageTail().

Before this patch:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@xxxxxxxxx/ | grep slab
0x0000000000000080 38 0 _______S___________________________________ slab

After this patch:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@xxxxxxxxx/ | grep slab
0x0000000000000080 147 0 _______S___________________________________ slab
