From 747388d78a0ae768fd82b55c4ed38aa646a72364 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 14:06:59 -0700 Subject: memcg: fix css_is_ancestor() RCU locking Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without rcu_read_lock. Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected data, it should be under rcu_read_lock(). This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected area. (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of "child". So, we need rcu_read_lock().) Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Cc: "Paul E.
