[ Upstream commit 46bea48ac241fe0b413805952dda74dd0c09ba8b ]
The kvm slabs can consume a significant amount of system memory and indeed in our production environment we have observed that a lot of machines are spending significant amount of memory that can not be left as system memory overhead. Also the allocations from these slabs can be triggered directly by user space applications which has access to kvm and thus a buggy application can leak such memory. So, these caches should be accounted to kmemcg.
