Cross-NUMA workloads now see a drain on every refill and a miss on every consume that targets a sibling per-node objcg of the same memcg, producing the 67.7% stress-ng switch-mq regression reported by LKP. stock->nr_bytes are fungible across per-node objcgs of one memcg. Treat the cache as keyed by memcg in __consume_obj_stock() and __refill_obj_stock() so siblings share the reserve. Compare via READ_ONCE(objcg->memcg) directly: pointer-compare only, no deref, so the rcu_read_lock contract on obj_cgroup_memcg() does not apply. In the same-memcg refill path also fold the incoming objcg's nr_charged_bytes into the stock; otherwise sub-page residue accumulates on whichever sibling was cached at drain time and obj_cgroup_release() silently drops it, leaking up to nr_node_ids * (PAGE_SIZE - 1) bytes per memcg lifecycle from the page_counter. This issue was reported by Sashiko. Update the now-stale invariant comment on __account_obj_stock(). Qi Zheng built a specialized reproducer [1] for the corner case and confirmed the fix.
