[LTP] [PATCH 0/4] controllers/memcg: fixes for CPU nodes on newer kernels

Hi,

This is continuation of my work fixing controllers/memcg. It's on top
of: https://lists.linux.it/pipermail/ltp/2021-July/023764.html

The problem is that since v5.9 kernel, not only per-CPU but also
per-node kernel memory is accounted to group.  Creating a subgroup on
v5.11 kernel on a two-node machine eats ~440 kB by itself in kernel
memory.

The patchset tries to take it into account and adjust the memory limits.
Have in mind however that kernel might change such accounting in the
future.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
