[PATCH 4/5] mm, memcg: avoid possible NULL pointer dereferencing in mem_cgroup_init()

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

 



rtpn might be NULL in very rare case. We have better to check it before
dereferencing it. Since memcg can live with NULL rb_tree_per_node in
soft_limit_tree, warn this case and continue.
