mm: memcontrol: prepare objcg API for non-kmem usage
Pagecache pages are charged at the allocation time and holding a reference to the original memory cgroup until being reclaimed. Depending on the memory pressure, specific patterns of the page sharing between different cgroups and the cgroup creation and destruction rates, a large number of dying memory cgroups can be pinned by pagecache pages. It makes the page reclaim less efficient and wastes memory. We can convert LRU pages and most other raw memcg pins to the objcg direction to fix this problem, and then the page->memcg will always point to an object cgroup pointer. Therefore, the infrastructure of objcg no longer only serves CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM. In this patch, we move the infrastructure of the objcg out of the scope of the CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM so that the LRU pages can reuse it to charge pages. We know that the LRU pages are not accounted at the root level. But the page->memcg_data points to the root_mem_cgroup. So the page->memcg_data of the LRU pages always points to a valid pointer. But the root_mem_cgroup dose not have an object cgroup. If we use obj_cgroup APIs to charge the LRU pages, we should set the page->memcg_data to a root object cgroup. So we also allocate an object cgroup for the root_mem_cgroup. Signed-off-by: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>
