Subject: [PATCH slab/for-next 11/14] smack: specify SLAB_MAY_ACCOUNT for smack_rule cache
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 12:46:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021-memalloc-prof-dont-waste-slabobj-ext-metadata-v1-11-096800aa3330@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021-memalloc-prof-dont-waste-slabobj-ext-metadata-v1-0-096800aa3330@kernel.org>

smk_copy_rules() allocates rules with the gfp passed from
security_prepare_creds(), which is GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT. Specify
SLAB_MAY_ACCOUNT when the object may be charged to a memcg.
__GFP_ACCOUNT without SLAB_MAY_ACCOUNT will not be allowed.

Path: fork() -> copy_creds() -> prepare_creds()
  -> security_prepare_creds(GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) -> smack_cred_prepare()
  -> smk_copy_rules() -> kmem_cache_zalloc(smack_rule_cache)
