    memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline · 2788cf0c

    Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which
    uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists.  However, it can
    be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline
    cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to
    the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's
    list to the one of its parent.  It will work, because a racing
    list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element
    from.  It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing
    reparenting will fix it.  After list_lru reparenting is done we are free
    to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new
    cgroups.
