[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: eliminate root memory.current

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Wed Oct 21 2015 - 14:50:19 EST


memory.current on the root level doesn't add anything that wouldn't be
more accurate and detailed using system statistics. It already doesn't
include slabs, and it'll be a pain to keep in sync when further memory
types are accounted in the memory controller. Remove it.

Note that this applies to the new unified hierarchy interface only.

Tejun, we should probably do this with the other controllers too.
I don't think it makes sense anywhere to shoddily duplicate the
system statistics on the controller root levels.
