Subject: [PATCH] mm: optimize memory allocation

From: Chen Xiaoguang <[email protected]>

Check memory cgroup limit before allocating real memory. This may
improve performance especially in slow path when memory allocation
exceeds cgroup limitation.

I would be really curious about any actual numbers because I have really
hard times to see scenarios when this would lead to an improvement.
Effectitelly only non-oom allocations would benefit theoretically (e.g.
atomic or GFP_NORETRY etc). All others will trigger the memcg oom killer
to help forward progress.

Besides that I really dislike kmem and LRU pages to be handled
differently so for that reason

If the optimization really can be provent then the patch would require
to be much more invasive.
