What about the following updated changelog instead? === We do not have to check PageTransHuge in mem_cgroup_update_page_stat and fallback into the locked accounting because both move charge and thp split up are done with compound_lock so they cannot race. update vs. move is protected by the mem_cgroup_stealed sufficiently. PageTransHuge pages shouldn't appear in this code path currently because we are tracking only file pages at the moment but later we are planning to track also other pages (e.g. mlocked ones). === > > Thanks, > -Kame > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs SUSE LINUX s.r.o.
