in this case no memory fractions accounting is possible :/
please, note, this field added by this patchset is in union
and used by user pages accounting as well.

yeah, we can. probably mapping.
but as I said we use the same pointer for user pages accounting as well.

so what is your opinion?
Kernel compiled w/o UBC do not introduce additional pointer.
