[PATCH v4] memcg: add per-memcg vmalloc stat

From: Shakeel Butt
Date: Tue Jan 04 2022 - 17:24:17 EST


The kvmalloc* allocation functions can fallback to vmalloc allocations
and more often on long running machines. In addition the kernel does
have __GFP_ACCOUNT kvmalloc* calls. So, often on long running machines,
the memory.stat does not tell the complete picture which type of memory
is charged to the memcg. So add a per-memcg vmalloc stat.

Changes since v3:
- Removed area->page[0] checks and moved to page by page accounting as
suggested by Michal

Changes since v2:
- remove cast, per Muchun
- add area->page[0] check, per Michal

Changes since v1:
- page_memcg() within rcu lock as suggested by Muchun.
