From 4bdfc1c4a943ce8707675ad510ea1076c9e8e528 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Davydov Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 14:32:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix destination cgroup leak on task charges migration We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup. However, during task charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge() and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the destination cgroup. The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the pre-00501b531c472 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era. Remove it to fix the leak.
