Yes, we do can run into some ordering issues. A part of the 
initialization can be done earlier. But I preferred to move it all later
instead of creating two functions for it. But I can change that if you 
want, no big deal.

Thanks. I'll rewrite it, since I did miss {} around the first if. But no 
test could possibly catch it, since what I wanted to write, and what I 
wrote by mistake end up being equivalent.

yes.

Agreed.

This code is in patch 6 (together with the limiting):

+#ifdef CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM
+       rcu_read_lock();
+       memcg = mem_cgroup_from_task(current);
+
+       tcp_prot_mem(memcg, vec[0], 0);
+       tcp_prot_mem(memcg, vec[1], 1);
+       tcp_prot_mem(memcg, vec[2], 2);
+       rcu_read_unlock();
+#endif

tcp_prot_mem is just a wrapper around the assignment so we can access 
memcg's inner fields.
