Ok.

So I've spent most of the day today trying to come up with a way not to 
kill the whole performance we gain from consume_stock() by this 
res_counter_charge() to kmem afterwards...

You mentioned you want to still be able to bill to memcg->kmem mostly 
for debugging/display purposes. So we're surely not using all of the 
res_counter infrastructure (limiting, soft limits, etc)

I was thinking: Can't we have a percpu_counter that we use for this 
purpose when !kmem_independent ?

we may not even need to bloat the struct, since we can fold it into a 
union with struct res_counter kmem (which is bigger than a percpu 
counter anyway).

We just need to be a bit more careful not to allow kmem_independent to 
change when we already have charges to any of them (but we need to do it 
anyway)
