[PATCH 5/8] mm/zsmalloc,zswap: Redirect zswap_entry->obcg to zpdesc

From: Joshua Hahn

Date: Thu Feb 26 2026 - 14:35:37 EST


Now that obj_cgroups are tracked in zpdesc, redirect the zswap layer to
use the pointer stored in the zpdesc and remove the pointer in
struct zswap_entry.

This offsets the temporary memory increase caused by the duplicate
storage of the obj_cgroup pointer and results in a net zero memory
footprint change. The lifetime and charging of the obj_cgroup is still
handled in the zswap layer.

Clean up mem_cgroup_from_entry, which has no more callers.
