Could you add a patch for documentation of this new interface and a text
explaining the behavior of "kmem_accounting" ?
Hm, my concern is the difference of behavior between user page accounting and
kmem accounting...but this is how tcp-accounting is working.
Once you add Documentation, it's okay to add my Ack.
Thanks,
