Also, please note the following:
The code that relays us to the right cache, is wrapped inside a static
branch. Whoever is not using more than the root cgroup, will not suffer
a single bit.
If you are, but your process is in the right cgroup, you will
unfortunately pay function call penalty(*), but the code will make and
effort to detect that as early as possible and resume.
(*) Not even then if you fall in the following categories, that are
resolved inline:
+ if (!current->mm)
+ return cachep;
+ if (in_interrupt())
+ return cachep;
+ if (gfp & __GFP_NOFAIL)
+ return cachep;
