Thank you for taking time for this.

This should be put in kmemcg, and I'll modify it.

When the kmemcg is enabled and _GFP_ACCOUNT is set, the charged and 
uncharged sizes do not match when alloc/free_pages_exact method is used 
to apply for or free memory with exact size. This is because memcg data 
of the tail page is not set during the split page.
