Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

Percpu caching of local vmstats with the conditional propagation by the
cgroup tree leads to an accumulation of errors on non-leaf levels.
Let's imagine two nested memory cgroups A and A/B. Say, a process
belonging to A/B allocates 100 pagecache pages on the CPU 0. The percpu
cache will spill 3 times, so that 32*3=96 pages will be accounted to A/B
and A atomic vmstat counters, 4 pages will remain in the percpu cache.
Imagine A/B is nearby memory.max, so that every following allocation
triggers a direct reclaim on the local CPU. Say, each such attempt will
free 16 pages on a new cpu. That means every percpu cache will have -16
pages, except the first one, which will have 4 - 16 = -12. A/B and A
atomic counters will not be touched at all.
Now a user removes A/B. All percpu caches are freed and corresponding
vmstat numbers are forgotten. A has 96 pages more than expected.
As memory cgroups are created and destroyed, errors do accumulate. Even
1-2 pages differences can accumulate into large numbers.
To fix this issue let's accumulate and propagate percpu vmstat values
before releasing the memory cgroup. At this point these numbers are
stable and cannot be changed.
Since on cpu hotplug we do flush percpu vmstats anyway, we can iterate
only over online cpus.

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.
