[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/memcg: set memcg when split page

From: Zhou Guanghui
Date: Thu Mar 04 2021 - 02:44:29 EST


As described in the split_page function comment, for the non-compound
high order page, the sub-pages must be freed individually. If the
memcg of the fisrt page is valid, the tail pages cannot be uncharged
when be freed.

For example, when alloc_pages_exact is used to allocate 1MB continuous
physical memory, 2MB is charged(kmemcg is enabled and __GFP_ACCOUNT is
set). When make_alloc_exact free the unused 1MB and free_pages_exact
free the applied 1MB, actually, only 4KB(one page) is uncharged.

Therefore, the memcg of the tail page needs to be set when split page.
