Hi Michal!

You need to update comments above too (it says 32 pages in a couple of places).
I actually sent the similar patch to Andrew yesterday, but hit reply and missed
adding people to cc.

Please, feel free to send your v2 with comments fixed and my acked-by,
or we can go with my version.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] kselftests/cgroup: adjust memcg charge batch size

Commit 1813e51eece0 ("memcg: increase MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH to 64")
doubled the memcg charge batch size, which broke the kmem_memcg_deletion
test. Bump the corresponding error margin on the test side to fix the
problem.
