Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) 
to consider:
- [High] Evicted GPU buffers bypass memory cgroup limits because the memcg 
accounting flag is cleared during VRAM eviction and pages are never recharged 
upon re-validation.
- [Low] Missing dummy implementations for GPU page memory control functions 
when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled causes a linker error.

amdgpu: add support for memory cgroups
    
This adds support for adding a obj cgroup to a buffer object,
and passing in the placement flags to make sure it's accounted
properly.

[Severity: High]
Does clearing TTM_PL_FLAG_MEMCG during eviction allow memory cgroup limits to
be bypassed?

When a user forces eviction (for example, by allocating more VRAM), the flag
is cleared in amdgpu_evict_flags() and TTM moves the buffer to system memory.
The pages are then allocated via ttm_pool_alloc() with memcg_account set to
false, leaving them uncharged.

If the user later re-validates the buffer into GTT, ttm_bo_validate() calls
ttm_resource_compatible(). This function only checks the memory type and
contiguous flags, ignoring TTM_PL_FLAG_MEMCG.

This seems to allow the buffer to remain backed by uncharged system pages,
potentially letting a containerized workload exhaust host system memory.

[Severity: High]
Does this also allow bypassing memory cgroup limits for TTM_PL_TT evictions
to the CPU domain for the same reason?

[Severity: Low]
Will this series cause a linker error when CONFIG_DRM_TTM=y and CONFIG_MEMCG=n?

It looks like mem_cgroup_charge_gpu_page(), mem_cgroup_uncharge_gpu_page(),
and mem_cgroup_move_gpu_page_reclaim() are declared unconditionally in
include/linux/memcontrol.h.

However, their definitions in mm/memcontrol.c are skipped when CONFIG_MEMCG is
disabled.

Since ttm_pool_alloc_page() in drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_pool.c calls these
without ifdef guards, this seems to lead to undefined references during
linking.
