Cgroup v1 memcg controller has exposed a dedicated kmem limit to users which turned out to be really a bad idea because there are paths which cannot shrink the kernel memory usage enough to get below the limit (e.g. because the accounted memory is not reclaimable). There are cases when the failure is even not allowed (e.g. __GFP_NOFAIL). This means that the kmem limit is in excess to the hard limit without any way to shrink and thus completely useless. OOM killer cannot be invoked to handle the situation because that would lead to a premature oom killing. As a result many places might see ENOMEM returning from kmalloc and result in unexpected errors. E.g. a global OOM killer when there is a lot of free memory because ENOMEM is translated into VM_FAULT_OOM in #PF path and therefore pagefault_out_of_memory would result in OOM killer. Please note that the kernel memory is still accounted to the overall limit along with the user memory so removing the kmem specific limit should still allow to contain kernel memory consumption. Unlike the kmem one, though, it invokes memory reclaim and targeted memcg oom killing if necessary. Start the deprecation process by crying to the kernel log. Let's see whether there are relevant usecases and simply return to EINVAL in the second stage if nobody complains in few releases.

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.
