Subject: Memory controller use rcu_read_lock() in mem_cgroup_cache_charge()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac44d354d5c9ced49b1165d6496f134501134219;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

Memory controller use rcu_read_lock() in mem_cgroup_cache_charge()

Hugh Dickins noticed that we were using rcu_dereference() without
rcu_read_lock() in the cache charging routine. The patch below fixes
this problem
