[PATCH mm v5 7/9] memcg: enable accounting for large allocations in mem_cgroup_css_alloc

From: Vasily Averin
Date: Thu Jun 23 2022 - 10:51:59 EST


Creation of each memory cgroup allocates few huge objects in
mem_cgroup_css_alloc(). Its size exceeds the size of memory
accounted in common part of cgroup creation:

common part: ~11Kb + 318 bytes percpu
memcg: ~17Kb + 4692 bytes percpu

memory:
------
Allocs Alloc $1*$2 Sum Allocation
number size
--------------------------------------------
1 + 8192 8192 8192 (mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x4a) <NB
14 ~ 352 4928 13120 KERNFS
1 + 2048 2048 15168 (mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xdd) <NB
1 1024 1024 16192 (alloc_shrinker_info+0x79)
1 584 584 16776 (radix_tree_node_alloc.constprop.0+0x89)
2 64 128 16904 (percpu_ref_init+0x6a)
1 64 64 16968 (mem_cgroup_css_online+0x32)

1 = 3684 3684 3684 call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x9e
1 = 984 984 4668 call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xfd
2 12 24 4692 call_site=percpu_ref_init+0x23

'=' -- already accounted,
'+' -- to be accounted,
'~' -- partially accounted

Accounting for this memory helps to avoid misuse inside memcg-limited
contianers.
