From 7d638093d4b0e9ef15bd78f38f11f126e773cc14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Davydov Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:14:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: do not call reclaim if !__GFP_WAIT When trimming memcg consumption excess (see memory.high), we call try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages without checking if we are allowed to sleep in the current context, which can result in a deadlock. Fix this.
