where kmemcg_slab_idx is updated from sched notifier (or maybe add and
use current->kmemcg_slab_idx?).  You would still need __GFP_* and
in_interrupt() tests but current->mm and PF_KTHREAD tests can be
rolled into index selection.

How big would this array be? there can be a lot more kmem_caches than
there are memcgs. That is why it is done from memcg side.

The total number of memcgs are pretty limited due to the ID thing,
right?  And kmemcg is only applied to subset of caches.  I don't think
the array size would be a problem in terms of memory overhead, would
it?  If so, RCU synchronize and dynamically grow them?

Thanks.
