From b4e98d9ac775907cc53fb08fcb6776deb7694e30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 17:35:33 -0800 Subject: mm: account pud page tables On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35b66b ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.
