    tmpfs,xattr: GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for simple xattrs · 572a3d1e
    Hugh Dickins authored
    It is particularly important for the userns mount case (when a sensible
    nr_inodes maximum may not be enforced) that tmpfs user xattrs be subject
    to memory cgroup limiting.  Leave temporary buffer allocations as is,
    but change the persistent simple xattr allocations from GFP_KERNEL to
    GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT.  This limits kernfs's cgroupfs too, but that's good.
    
    (I had intended to send this change earlier, but had been confused by
    shmem_alloc_inode() using GFP_KERNEL, and thought a discussion would be
    needed to change that too: no, I was forgetting the SLAB_ACCOUNT on that
    kmem_cache, which implicitly adds __GFP_ACCOUNT to all its allocations.)
