[PATCH v2 13/13] mm/slab: stop allocating objcg pointers when unnecessary

[Vlastimil Babka (SUSE)]

Start using the slab_needs_objcg() helper to calculate slabobj_ext size.
Caches that we know to never need objcg pointers (currently
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches) will thus stop wasting memory on them when memory
allocation profiling is enabled.

For things to work properly, we need to also add slab_needs_objcg()
checks to mem_cgroup_from_obj_slab() and memcg_slab_free_hook(), because
when obj_exts array exists for a slab only due to mem_alloc profiling,
we would otherwise attempt to access a non-existing objcg pointer in
that slab.

The function __memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() should not be possible to
call for a slab where slab_needs_objcg() is false, but add a DEBUG_VM
check there to prevent breaking this assumption accidentally.
