From ebb76ce16daf6908dc030dec1c00827d37129fe5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2010 14:07:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix wrong VM_BUG_ON() in try_charge()'s mm->owner check At __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), VM_BUG_ON(!mm->owner) is checked. But as commented in mem_cgroup_from_task(), mm->owner can be NULL in some racy case. This check of VM_BUG_ON() is bad. A possible story to hit this is at swapoff()->try_to_unuse(). It passes mm_struct to mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() while mm->owner is NULL. If we can't get proper mem_cgroup from swap_cgroup information, mm->owner is used as charge target and we see NULL.
