- * Disabling accounting is only relevant for some specific memcg
- * internal allocations. Therefore we would initially not have such
- * check here, since direct calls to the page allocator that are
- * accounted to kmemcg (alloc_kmem_pages and friends) only happen
- * outside memcg core. We are mostly concerned with cache allocations,
- * and by having this test at memcg_kmem_get_cache, we are already able
- * to relay the allocation to the root cache and bypass the memcg cache
- * altogether.
- *
- * There is one exception, though: the SLUB allocator does not create
- * large order caches, but rather service large kmallocs directly from
- * the page allocator. Therefore, the following sequence when backed by
- * the SLUB allocator:
- *
- * memcg_stop_kmem_account();
- * kmalloc(<large_number>)
- * memcg_resume_kmem_account();
- *
- * would effectively ignore the fact that we should skip accounting,
- * since it will drive us directly to this function without passing
- * through the cache selector memcg_kmem_get_cache. Such large
- * allocations are extremely rare but can happen, for instance, for the
- * cache arrays. We bring this test here.
