From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
There are currently two helpers for checking if cgroup kmem
accounting is enabled:
- mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled
- memcg_kmem_enabled
mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled is a simple helper that returns true
if cgroup.memory=nokmem is specified, otherwise returns false.
memcg_kmem_enabled is a bit different, it returns true if
cgroup.memory=nokmem is not specified and there was at least one
non-root memory control enabled cgroup ever created. This help improve
performance when kmem accounting was not actually activated. And it's
optimized with static branch.
The usage of mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled is for sub-systems that need to
preallocate data for kmem accounting since they could be initialized
before kmem accounting is activated. But count_objcg_event doesn't
need that, so using memcg_kmem_enabled is better here.
