Patch series "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging", v3.
This series cleans up memcg's hugetlb charging logic by deprecating the
current memcg hugetlb try-charge + {commit, cancel} logic present in
alloc_hugetlb_folio. A single function mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb takes
its place instead. This makes the code more maintainable by simplifying
the error path and reduces memcg's footprint in hugetlb logic.
This patch introduces a few changes in the hugetlb folio allocation
error path:
(a) Instead of having multiple return points, we consolidate them to
two: one for reaching the memcg limit or running out of memory
(-ENOMEM) and one for hugetlb allocation fails / limit being
reached (-ENOSPC).
(b) Previously, the memcg limit was checked before the folio is acquired,
meaning the hugeTLB folio isn't acquired if the limit is reached.
This patch performs the charging after the folio is reached, meaning
if memcg's limit is reached, the acquired folio is freed right away.
This patch builds on two earlier patch series: [2] which adds memcg
hugeTLB counters, and [3] which deprecates charge moving and removes the
last references to mem_cgroup_cancel_charge. The request for this cleanup
can be found in [2].

This patch (of 3):
This patch isolates the check for whether memcg accounts hugetlb. This
condition can only be true if the memcg mount option
memory_hugetlb_accounting is on, which includes hugetlb usage in
memory.current.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
