[PATCH 02/17] mm: memcontrol: remove kmemcg_id reparenting

From: Muchun Song
Date: Tue May 11 2021 - 06:51:36 EST


Since slab objects and kmem pages are charged to object cgroup instead
of memory cgroup, memcg_reparent_objcgs() will reparent this cgroup and
all its descendants to the parent cgroup. This already makes further
list_lru_add()'s add elements to the parent's list. So we do not need
to change kmemcg_id of an offline cgroup to its parent's id. It is just
waste CPU cycles. Just remove those redundant code.
