Currently, we approximate the root usage by adding the memcg stats for anon, file, and conditionally swap (for memsw). To read the memcg stats we need to invoke an rstat flush. rstat flushes can be expensive, they scale with the number of cpus and cgroups on the system. mem_cgroup_usage() is called by memcg_events()->mem_cgroup_threshold() with irqs disabled, so such an expensive operation with irqs disabled can cause problems. Instead, approximate the root usage from global state. This is not 100% accurate, but the root usage has always been ill-defined anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
