alloc_page_buffers() currently uses get_mem_cgroup_from_page() for charging the buffers to the page owner, which does an rcu-protected page->memcg lookup and acquires a reference. But buffer allocation has the page lock held throughout, which pins the page to the memcg and thereby the memcg - neither rcu nor holding an extra reference during the allocation are necessary. Use a raw page_memcg() instead. This was the last user of get_mem_cgroup_from_page(), delete it.

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.
