From ce48225fe3b1b0d1fc9fceb96ac3d8a879e45114 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 15:38:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix endless loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next() Commit 0eef615665ed ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter") got the interaction with the commit a few before it d8ad30559715 ("mm/memcg: iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") slightly wrong, and we didn't notice at the time. It's elusive, and harder to get than the original, but for a couple of days before rc1, I several times saw a endless loop similar to that supposedly being fixed. This time it was a tighter loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next(): because we can get here when our root has already been offlined, and the ordering of conditions was such that we then just cycled around forever.
