Subject: [PATCH] memcg: avoid refill_stock for root memcg
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 22:48:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250313054812.2185900-1-shakeel.butt@linux.dev> (raw)
We never charge the page counters of root memcg, so there is no need to
put root memcg in the memcg stock. At the moment, refill_stock() can be
called from try_charge_memcg(), obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() and
mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem().
The try_charge_memcg() and mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem() are never called
with root memcg, so those are fine. However obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages()
can potentially call refill_stock() with root memcg if the objcg object
has been reparented over to the root memcg. Let's just avoid
refill_stock() from obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() for root memcg.
