I am currently looking into it. It's reasonable to skip the next merge
window if a quick fix isn't found soon.
I am surprised by the size of the regression given the following:
1.12 ą 5% +1.4 2.50 ą 2%
perf-profile.self.cycles-pp.__mod_memcg_lruvec_state
IIUC we are only spending 1% more time in __mod_memcg_lruvec_state().
