[PATCH] memcg: don't do cleanup manually if mem_cgroup_css_online() fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If memcg_init_kmem() returns -errno when a memcg is being created,
mem_cgroup_css_online() will decrement memcg and its parent's refcnt,
(but strangely there's no mem_cgroup_put() for mem_cgroup_get() called
in memcg_propagate_kmem()).

But then cgroup core will call mem_cgroup_css_free() to do cleanup...
