I do not see any specific checks for CGRP_ROOT_MEMORY_HUGETLB_ACCOUNTING
in these paths. I guess you wanted to say that you rely on
mem_cgroup_commit_charge setting memcg pointer which then __lruvec_stat_mod_folio
relies on when updating stats.

I suspect this all is done because you want a global counter to be
updated as well, right? Changelog doesn't say anything about that
though. Why is this needed when /proc/meminfo already describes the
global hugetlb usage?
