+ * page_cgroup_ino - return inode number of the memcg a page is charged to
+ * @page: the page
+ *
+ * Look up the closest online ancestor of the memory cgroup @page is charged to
+ * and return its inode number or 0 if @page is not charged to any cgroup. It
+ * is safe to call this function without holding a reference to @page.
+ *
+ * Note, this function is inherently racy, because there is nothing to prevent
+ * the cgroup inode from getting torn down and potentially reallocated a moment
+ * after page_cgroup_ino() returns, so it only should be used by callers that
+ * do not care (such as procfs interfaces).
