    SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/4] exit: Make unlikely case in mm_update_next_owner() more scalable

    I have a question. Would it be reasonable to just have a mm->memcg?
    That would appear to be the simplest solution to the problem.

    That would require failing migration between memory cgroups if you are
    not moving all of processes/threads that have a given mm_struct. That
    should not be a huge restriction as typically it is only threads that
    share a mm. Further the check should be straigh forward: counting the
    number of threads and verifying the count matches the count on the
    mm_struct.
