How about adding the following chunk? I don't like forward links in
commit messages, so maybe putting it into the cover letter?
This commit temporarily increases the memory footprint of the kernel memory
accounting. To store obj_cgroup pointers we'll need a place for an
objcg_pointer for each allocated object. However, the following patches
in the series will enable sharing of slab pages between memory cgroups,
which will dramatically increase the total slab utilization. And the final
memory footprint will be significantly smaller than before.

Yeah, it's a clever idea. The following patch should do the trick.
Andrew, can you, please, squash this in?
Thank you!
