in_interrupt() yes, __GFP_NOFAIL I don't think so.

__GFP_NOFAIL should lead to a res_counter_charge_nofail() in the end.
The name similarity is no coincidence...

From a code style PoV, it makes sense to bundle an in_interrupt() check
here, but from a performance PoV, putting it in the callers can help us
avoid the price of a function call.

But well, looking at the code, I see it is not there as well... =(

I plan to change memcontrol.h to look like this:

static __always_inline struct kmem_cache *
mem_cgroup_get_kmem_cache(struct kmem_cache *cachep, gfp_t gfp)
{
if (mem_cgroup_kmem_on && current->mm && !in_interrupt())
return __mem_cgroup_get_kmem_cache(cachep, gfp);
return cachep;
}
