I offer this followup for squashing into your patch if you and Andrew agree: ----8<---- >From c87378d437d9a59b8757033485431b4721c74173 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Thu, 6 May 2021 17:53:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcg/slab: don't create kmalloc-cg caches with cgroup.memory=nokmem The caches should not be created when kmemcg is disabled on boot, otherwise they are also filled by kmalloc(__GFP_ACCOUNT) allocations. When booted with cgroup.memory=nokmem, link the kmalloc_caches[KMALLOC_CGROUP] entries to KMALLOC_NORMAL entries instead.
