I've noticed that the "slab" value in memory.stat is sometimes 0, even
if some children memory cgroups have a non-zero "slab" value. The
following investigation showed that this is the result of the kmem_cache
reparenting in combination with the per-cpu batching of slab vmstats.
At the offlining some vmstat value may leave in the percpu cache, not
being propagated upwards by the cgroup hierarchy. It means that stats
on ancestor levels are lower than actual. Later when slab pages are
released, the precise number of pages is substracted on the parent
level, making the value negative. We don't show negative values, 0 is
printed instead.
To fix this issue, let's flush percpu slab memcg and lruvec stats on
memcg offlining. This guarantees that numbers on all ancestor levels
are accurate and match the actual number of outstanding slab pages.

README
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.
