From 6d48ff8bcfd403ec8d3ef7a56538ea9e6f773b9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:29:12 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: css_put after remove_list mem_cgroup_uncharge_page does css_put on the mem_cgroup before uncharging from it, and before removing page_cgroup from one of its lru lists: isn't there a danger that struct mem_cgroup memory could be freed and reused before completing that, so corrupting something? Never seen it, and for all I know there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be defensive and reverse the ordering there. mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help get in the habit of doing it like this.
