[PATCH 2/5] mm: memcg/slab: Fix use after free in obj_cgroup_charge

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

 



The rcu_read_lock/unlock only can guarantee that the memcg will
not be freed, but it cannot guarantee the success of css_get to
memcg. This can be happened when we reparent the memcg. So using
css_tryget instead of css_get.
