Obj_cgroup API provides an ability to account sub-page sized kernel objects, which potentially outlive the original memory cgroup. The top-level API consists of the following functions: bool obj_cgroup_tryget(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); void obj_cgroup_get(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); void obj_cgroup_put(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); int obj_cgroup_charge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, gfp_t gfp, size_t size); void obj_cgroup_uncharge(struct obj_cgroup *objcg, size_t size); struct mem_cgroup *obj_cgroup_memcg(struct obj_cgroup *objcg); struct obj_cgroup *get_obj_cgroup_from_current(void); Object cgroup is basically a pointer to a memory cgroup with a per-cpu reference counter. It substitutes a memory cgroup in places where it's necessary to charge a custom amount of bytes instead of pages. All charged memory rounded down to pages is charged to the corresponding memory cgroup using __memcg_kmem_charge(). It implements reparenting: on memcg offlining it's getting reattached to the parent memory cgroup. Each online memory cgroup has an associated active object cgroup to handle new allocations and the list of all attached object cgroups. On offlining of a cgroup this list is reparented and for each object cgroup in the list the memcg pointer is swapped to the parent memory cgroup. It prevents long-living objects from pinning the original memory cgroup in the memory. The implementation is based on byte-sized per-cpu stocks. A sub-page sized leftover is stored in an atomic field, which is a part of obj_cgroup object. So on cgroup offlining the leftover is automatically reparented. memcg->objcg is rcu protected. objcg->memcg is a raw pointer, which is always pointing at a memory cgroup, but can be atomically swapped to the parent memory cgroup. So a user must ensure the lifetime of the cgroup, e.g. grab rcu_read_lock or css_set_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
