From 52383431b37cdbec63944e953ffc2698a7ad9722 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Davydov Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:06:39 -0700 Subject: mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g. threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg. The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of the current memory cgroup.
