Subject: [PATCH 2/2] memcg: fix kmem over-charging for embedded obj_exts array
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 11:38:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310113804.245647-3-ranxiaokai627@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310113804.245647-1-ranxiaokai627@163.com>
From: Ran Xiaokai <ran.xiaokai@zte.com.cn>
Since commit a77d6d338685 ("mm/slab: place slabobj_ext metadata
in unused space within s->size"), the struct slabobj_ext array
can use slab leftover space or be embedded into the slub object
to save memory by calling alloc_slab_obj_exts_early(). In these
cases, no extra kmalloc space is allocated to store the obj_exts array.
Optimize obj_full_size() behavior to avoid over-charging kmem
for objects whose obj_exts use slab leftover space or are embedded
in the object.
Fixes: a77d6d338685 ("mm/slab: place slabobj_ext metadata in unused space within s->size")
