From 692e7c45d95ad1064b6911800e2cfec7fc0236db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:05:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: catch root bypass in move precharge When mem_cgroup_try_charge() returns -EINTR, it bypassed the charge to the root memcg. But move precharging does not catch this and treats this case as if no charge had happened, thus leaking a charge against root. Because of an old optimization, the root memcg's res_counter is not actually charged right now, but it's still an imbalance and subsequent patches will charge the root memcg again. Catch those bypasses to the root memcg and properly cancel them before giving up the move.
