Patch series "mm: kmem: kernel memory accounting in an interrupt context". This patchset implements memcg-based memory accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context. Historically, such allocations were passed unaccounted mostly because charging the memory cgroup of the current process wasn't an option. Also performance reasons were likely a reason too. The remote charging API allows to temporarily overwrite the currently active memory cgroup, so that all memory allocations are accounted towards some specified memory cgroup instead of the memory cgroup of the current process. This patchset extends the remote charging API so that it can be used from an interrupt context. Then it removes the fence that prevented the accounting of allocations made from an interrupt context. It also contains a couple of optimizations/code refactorings. This patchset doesn't directly enable accounting for any specific allocations, but prepares the code base for it. The bpf memory accounting will likely be the first user of it: a typical example is a bpf program parsing an incoming network packet, which allocates an entry in hashmap map to store some information. This patch (of 4): Currently memcg_kmem_bypass() is called before obtaining the current memory/obj cgroup using get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current(). Moving memcg_kmem_bypass() into get_mem/obj_cgroup_from_current() reduces the number of call sites and allows further code simplifications.
