Switch to per-object accounting of non-root slab objects. Charging is performed using obj_cgroup API in the pre_alloc hook. Obj_cgroup is charged with the size of the object and the size of metadata: as now it's the size of an obj_cgroup pointer. If the amount of memory has been charged successfully, the actual allocation code is executed. Otherwise, -ENOMEM is returned. In the post_alloc hook if the actual allocation succeeded, corresponding vmstats are bumped and the obj_cgroup pointer is saved. Otherwise, the charge is canceled. On the free path obj_cgroup pointer is obtained and used to uncharge the size of the releasing object. Memcg and lruvec counters are now representing only memory used by active slab objects and do not include the free space. The free space is shared and doesn't belong to any specific cgroup. Global per-node slab vmstats are still modified from (un)charge_slab_page() functions. The idea is to keep all slab pages accounted as slab pages on system level.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
