epoll: account epitem and eppoll_entry to kmemcg
A userspace application can directly trigger the allocations from
eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slabs. A buggy or malicious application
can consume a significant amount of system memory by triggering such
allocations. Indeed we have seen in production where a buggy
application was leaking the epoll references and causing a burst of
eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slab allocations. This patch opt-in the
charging of eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slabs.
There is a per-user limit (~4% of total memory if no highmem) on these
caches. I think it is too generous particularly in the scenario where
jobs of multiple users are running on the system and the administrator
is reducing cost by overcomitting the memory. This is unaccounted
kernel memory and will not be considered by the oom-killer. I think by
accounting it to kmemcg, for systems with kmem accounting enabled, we
can provide better isolation between jobs of different users.
