What do you think about several special mapcount values for various
types of kmem?
It's helps user and administrators break down memory usage.
A nice equation is:
memory.usage_in_bytes = memory.stat[file + anon + unevictable + kmem]
Next, it's helpful to be able to breakdown kmem into:
kmem = stack + pgtable + slab + ...
On one hand (and the kernel I use internally) we can use separate per
memcg counters for each kmem type. Then reconstitute memory.kmem as
needed by adding them together. But using keeping a single kernel kmem
counter is workable if there is a way to breakdown the memory charge to
a container (e.g. by walking /proc/kpageflags-ish or per memcg
memory.kpageflags-ish file).
