[PATCH v4 09/16] memcg: enable accounting for mnt_cache entries
From: Vasily Averin
Date: Wed Apr 28 2021 - 02:53:15 EST
The kernel allocates ~400 bytes of 'strcut mount' for any new mount.
Creating a new mount namespace clones most of the parent mounts,
and this can be repeated many times. Additionally, each mount allocates
up to PATH_MAX=4096 bytes for mnt->mnt_devname.
It makes sense to account for these allocations to restrict the host's
memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.
