Subject: Re: [PATCH net] net: memcontrol: charge allocated memory after mem_cgroup_sk_alloc()
Well, this memcg stuff is so confusing.
My recollection is that we had :
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=d979a39d7242e0601bf9b60e89628fb8ac577179
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=75cb070960ade40fba5de32138390f3c85c90941
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=c0576e3975084d4699b7bfef578613fb8e1144f6
And commit a590b90d472f2c176c140576ee3ab44df7f67839 as well
Honestly bug was closed months ago for us, based on stack traces on the wild.
No C repro or whatever, but reproducing it would be a matter of
having a TCP listener constantly doing a
socket()/setsockopt(REUSEADDR)/bind()/listen()/close() in a loop,
while connections are attempted to the listening port.
