Currently we have two state bits in mem_cgroup::kmem_account_flags
regarding kmem accounting activation, ACTIVATED and ACTIVE. We start
kmem accounting only if both flags are set (memcg_can_account_kmem()),
plus throughout the code there are several places where we check only
the ACTIVE flag, but we never check the ACTIVATED flag alone. These
flags are both set from memcg_update_kmem_limit() under the
set_limit_mutex, the ACTIVE flag always being set after ACTIVATED, and
they never get cleared. That said checking if both flags are set is
equivalent to checking only for the ACTIVE flag, and since there is no
ACTIVATED flag checks, we can safely remove the ACTIVATED flag, and
nothing will change.
Let's try to understand what was the reason for introducing these flags.
The purpose of the ACTIVE flag is clear - it states that kmem should be
accounting to the cgroup. The only requirement for it is that it should
be set after we have fully initialized kmem accounting bits for the
cgroup and patched all static branches relating to kmem accounting.
Since we always check if static branch is enabled before actually
considering if we should account (otherwise we wouldn't benefit from
static branching), this guarantees us that we won't skip a commit or
uncharge after a charge due to an unpatched static branch.
Now let's move on to the ACTIVATED bit. As I proved in the beginning of
this message, it is absolutely useless, and removing it will change
nothing. So what was the reason introducing it?
