Subject: [PATCH] mm: correctly charge compressed memory to its memcg

From: Li Liguang <liliguang@...du.com>

Kswapd will reclaim memory when memory pressure is high, the
annonymous memory will be compressed and stored in the zpool
if zswap is enabled. The memcg_kmem_bypass() in
get_obj_cgroup_from_page() will bypass the kernel thread and
cause the compressed memory not charged to its memory cgroup.

Remove the memcg_kmem_bypass() and properly charge compressed
memory to its corresponding memory cgroup.

This fell through the cracks in summer as it didn't make it to the
right mailing lists. Resending.

I know it's close to 6.1-final, but the fix should be safe to put
in. It's straight-forward and obvious code-wise. We also have large
parts of production running on it without problems.
