The reference counting of a memcg is currently coupled directly to how many 4k pages are charged to it. This doesn't work well with Roman's new slab controller, which maintains pools of objects and doesn't want to keep an extra balance sheet for the pages backing those objects. This unusual refcounting design (reference counts usually track pointers to an object) is only for historical reasons: memcg used to not take any css references and simply stalled offlining until all charges had been reparented and the page counters had dropped to zero. When we got rid of the reparenting requirement, the simple mechanical translation was to take a reference for every charge. More historical context can be found in commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
