[PATCH v2 2/2] xarray: honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc()

From: Zi Yan

Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 22:20:42 EST


XArray operations that allocate xa_nodes, such as xas_nomem() and
xas_alloc(), add __GFP_ACCOUNT when the array has XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT set.
This charges the allocated memory and avoids the workingset convergence
issue described by commit 7b785645e8f13 ("mm: fix page cache convergence
regression").

xas_split_alloc() does not have that flag. Add it when necessary.

Fixes: 6b24ca4a1a8d4 ("mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache")
