Currently on cpu hotplug teardown, only memcg stock is drained but we
need to drain the obj stock as well otherwise we will miss the stats
accumulated on the target cpu as well as the nr_bytes cached. The stats
include MEMCG_KMEM, NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B & NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B. In
addition we are leaking reference to struct obj_cgroup object.

Wow, that's old. Good catch.

It might be better to call drain_local_stock() directly instead. That
would prevent a bug of this type to reoccur in the future.

The issue is drain_local_stock() works on the local cpu stock while here
we are working on a remote cpu cpu which is dead (memcg_hotplug_cpu_dead
is in PREPARE section of hotplug teardown which runs after the cpu is
dead).

We can safely call drain_stock() on remote cpu stock here but
drain_obj_stock() is a bit tricky as it can __refill_stock() to local cpu
stock and can call __mod_objcg_mlstate to flush stats. Both of these
requires irq disable for NON-RT kernels and thus I added the local_lock
here.

Anyways I wanted a simple fix for the backports and in parallel I am
working on cleaning up all the stock functions as I plan to add multi
memcg support.

Thanks for taking a look.

Really curious to see patches/more details here, I have some ideas here
as well (nothing materialized yet though).

Thanks!

True, it can be refactored separately.

My eventual goal is to add support for multi memcg stock to solve the
charging cost of incoming networking traffic in multi-tenant
environment. In the cleanups my plan is to reduce the number of irq
disable operations in the most common paths and explore if for task
context we can do without any irq disabling operation (possibly by
separate stocks for in_task and !in_task contexts).
