Explicitly instantiate the memory attributes xarray with XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT
to ensure that all allocations are accounted to the memcg. Frustratingly,
memory allocations done in the "fastpath" do not honor the passed in gfp,
even for an explicit xa_reserve(). Only the rare, slow path __xas_nomem()
honors the original gfp. E.g.
xa_reserve(..., GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT)
|
-> ...
|
-> __xa_cmpxchg_raw()
|
-> xas_store() <== does not take @gfp
|
-> xas_create()
|
-> xas_alloc()
The bug was confirmed by observing that a process in a cgroup limited to
256 MiB grew radix_tree_node slab by ~512 MiB while its memory.current
stayed near 0.
