[RFC PATCH RESEND v2 1/2] memcg: Add support for zram object charge

From: Zhongkun He
Date: Fri Aug 04 2023 - 03:58:20 EST


The compressed RAM(ZRAM) is currently charged to kernel, not
to any memory cgroup, which can escape their cgroup memory
containment if the memory of a task is limited by memcgroup.
it will swap out the memory to zram swap device when the memory
is insufficient. In that case, the memory hard limit will be
invalidated. So, it should makes sense to charge the
compressed RAM to the page's memory cgroup.

As we know, zram can be used in two ways, direct and
indirect, this patchset can charge memory in both cases.
Direct zram usage by process within a cgroup will fail
to charge if there is no memory. Indirect zram usage by
process within a cgroup via swap in PF_MEMALLOC context,
will charge successfully.
