Shakeel Butt 7e44d00a13 memcg: use mod_node_page_state to update stats
Patch series "memcg: cleanup the memcg stats interfaces".

The memcg stats are safe against irq (and nmi) context and thus does not
require disabling irqs.  However for some stats which are also maintained
at node level, it is using irq unsafe interface and thus requiring the
users to still disables irqs or use interfaces which explicitly disables
irqs.  Let's move memcg code to use irq safe node level stats function
which is already optimized for architectures with HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL (all
major ones), so there will not be any performance penalty for its usage.


This patch (of 4):

The memcg stats are safe against irq (and nmi) context and thus does not
require disabling irqs.  However some code paths for memcg stats also
update the node level stats and use irq unsafe interface and thus require
the users to disable irqs.  However node level stats, on architectures
with HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL (all major ones), has interface which does not
require irq disabling.  Let's move memcg stats code to start using that
interface for node level stats.

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.
