How about this one? I've merged them into one and stripped it a little bit.
Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack
implementations
Depending on CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and the THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE ratio the
space for task stacks can be allocated using __vmalloc_node_range(),
alloc_pages_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node(). In the first and the
second cases page->mem_cgroup pointer is set, but in the third it's not:
memcg membership of a slab page should be determined using the
memcg_from_slab_page() function, which looks at
page->slab_cache->memcg_params.memcg . In this case, using
mod_memcg_page_state() (as in account_kernel_stack()) is incorrect:
page->mem_cgroup pointer is NULL even for pages charged to a non-root
memory cgroup.
It can lead to kernel_stack per-memcg counters permanently showing 0 on
some architectures (depending on the configuration).
In order to fix it, let's introduce a mod_memcg_obj_state() helper, which
takes a pointer to a kernel object as a first argument, uses
mem_cgroup_from_obj() to get a RCU-protected memcg pointer and calls
mod_memcg_state(). It allows to handle all possible configurations
(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and various THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE values) without
spilling any memcg/kmem specifics into fork.c .
Note: This is a special version of the patch created for stable
backports. It contains code from the following two patches:
- mm: memcg/slab: introduce mem_cgroup_from_obj()
- mm: fork: fix kernel_stack memcg stats for various stack implementations
Fixes: 4d96ba353075 ("mm: memcg/slab: stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for slab pages")
