CPU0: CPU1: objcg = get_obj_cgroup_from_current(); obj_cgroup_charge(objcg); memcg_reparent_objcgs(); xchg(&objcg->memcg, root_mem_cgroup); // memcg == root_mem_cgroup memcg = obj_cgroup_memcg(objcg); __memcg_kmem_charge(memcg); // Do not charge to the root memcg try_charge(memcg); If the objcg->memcg is reparented to the root_mem_cgroup, obj_cgroup_charge() can pass root_mem_cgroup as the first parameter to here. The root_mem_cgroup is skipped in the try_charge(). So the page counters of it do not update. When we uncharge this, we will decrease the page counters (e.g. memory and memsw) of the root_mem_cgroup. This will cause the page counters of the root_mem_cgroup to be out of balance. Fix it by charging the page to the root_mem_cgroup unconditional.
