I will add this info similar to the kmalloc() have. Should I send a v4 with this details?

At the moment, the slab objects are charged to the memcg at the allocation time. However there are cases where slab objects are allocated at the time where the right target memcg to charge it to is not known. One such case is the network sockets for the incoming connection which are allocated in the softirq context. Couple hundred thousand connections are very normal on large loaded server and almost all of those sockets underlying those connections get allocated in the softirq context and thus not charged to any memcg. However later at the accept() time we know the right target memcg to charge. Let's add new API to charge already allocated objects, so we can have better accounting of the memory usage. To measure the performance impact of this change, tcp_crr is used from the neper [1] performance suite. Basically it is a network ping pong test with new connection for each ping pong. The server and the client are run inside 3 level of cgroup hierarchy using the following commands: Server: $ tcp_crr -6 Client: $ tcp_crr -6 -c -H ${server_ip} If the client and server run on different machines with 50 GBPS NIC, there is no visible impact of the change. For the same machine experiment with v6.11-rc5 as base. base (throughput) with-patch tcp_crr 14545 (+- 80) 14463 (+- 56) It seems like the performance impact is within the noise.
