Subject: [PATCH slab/for-next 06/14] kernel/fork: specify SLAB_MAY_ACCOUNT for thread_stack cache
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 12:46:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021-memalloc-prof-dont-waste-slabobj-ext-metadata-v1-6-096800aa3330@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021-memalloc-prof-dont-waste-slabobj-ext-metadata-v1-0-096800aa3330@kernel.org>
When THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, thread stacks are allocated from a slab
cache with THREADINFO_GFP, which includes __GFP_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 (e.g. ppc64le, 64K pages, !VMAP_STACK): copy_process()
-> dup_task_struct() -> alloc_thread_stack_node()
-> kmem_cache_alloc_node(thread_stack_cache, THREADINFO_GFP)
