From: Greg Thelen Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 22:37:05 +0000 (-0700) Subject: memcg: make mem_cgroup_read_stat() unsigned X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=484ebb3b8c8b27dd2171696462a3116edb9ff801;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git memcg: make mem_cgroup_read_stat() unsigned mem_cgroup_read_stat() returns a page count by summing per cpu page counters. The summing is racy wrt. updates, so a transient negative sum is possible. Callers don't want negative values: - mem_cgroup_wb_stats() doesn't want negative nr_dirty or nr_writeback. This could confuse dirty throttling. - oom reports and memory.stat shouldn't show confusing negative usage. - tree_usage() already avoids negatives. Avoid returning negative page counts from mem_cgroup_read_stat() and convert it to unsigned.
