The designed workflow for the caches in kmemcg is: register it with memcg_register_cache() if kmemcg is already available or later on when a new kmemcg appears at memcg_update_cache_sizes() which will handle all caches in the system. The caches created at boot time will be handled by the later, and the memcg-caches as well as any system caches that are registered later on by the former. There is a bug, however, in memcg_register_cache: we correctly set up the array size, but do not mark the cache as a root cache. This means that allocations for any cache appearing late in the game will see memcg->memcg_params->is_root_cache == false, and in particular, trigger VM_BUG_ON(!cachep->memcg_params->is_root_cache) in __memcg_kmem_cache_get. The obvious fix is to include the missing assignment. Signed-off-by:
