KVM: Ensure memory attributes xarray nodes are accounted to the caller's memcg
Explicitly instantiate the memory attributes xarray with XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT to ensure that all allocations are accounted to the memcg. Frustratingly, memory allocations done in the "fastpath" do not honor the passed in gfp, even for an explicit xa_reserve(). Only the rare, slow path __xas_nomem() honors the original gfp. E.g. xa_reserve(..., GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) | -> ... | -> __xa_cmpxchg_raw() | -> xas_store() <== does not take @gfp | -> xas_create() | -> xas_alloc() The bug was confirmed by observing that a process in a cgroup limited to 256 MiB grew radix_tree_node slab by ~512 MiB while its memory.current stayed near 0.
