PATCH 1/1 mm: memcg/slab: Uncharge during kmem_cache_free_bulk()

Object cgroup charging is done for all the objects during allocation, but during freeing, uncharging ends up happening for only one object in the case of bulk allocation/freeing.

Fix this by having a separate call to uncharge all the objects from kmem_cache_free_bulk() and by modifying memcg_slab_free_hook() to take care of bulk uncharging.

Yes, it's definitely a problem. Thank you for catching it!

I'm curious, did you find it in the wild or by looking into the code?

Then you don't need this change.

Otherwise memcg_slab_free_hook() can be called twice for the same object. It's ok from accounting correctness perspective, because the first call will zero out the objcg pointer, but still much better to be avoided.

Thanks!

Possible, but we will have to walk the detached freelist there while here it is much easier to just walk the array of objects?

Yes, for that one object there will be one additional uncharge call, but as you note it is handled by the !objcg check.
