Comments to the side of the field would make it easier to read and understand
the structure. I think there are already other comments requesting for renaming
of the barrier field to hard_limit.

A comment here to clarify what the function does would be helpful, specially due 
to the comparison above

if (maxheld < held)
	maxheld = held
if (minheld > held)
	minheld = held

How about global_ub or init_ub?

What hash properties are we looking for in the hash function? Is the hash

A comment indicative of this being a part of race handing would be useful.
Could you please consider refactoring this function if possible.

Is this function called with the ub_hash_lock held()? A comment would be useful
or you could call it __put_beancounter_locked :-)

Could you please convert this to a do {} while() loop.

Everyone in the hierarchy is charged the same amount - val?

Too many goto's in both directions - please consider refactoring

Whats the meaning of notop?

Could some of this code be shared with charge_beancounter to avoid duplication?

The code for both uncharge_beancounter() and uncharge_beancounter_notop() seems
to do the same thing

Whats the relationship between ub0 and default_beancounter?

Do we need to memset static global variables to 0?
