>From d620ff605a3a592c2b1de3a046498ce5cd3d3c50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:55:10 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] memcg: reset lru to root_mem_cgroup in special cases. This patch is a fix for memcg-simplify-lru-handling-by-new-rule.patch After the patch, all pages which will be onto LRU must have sane pc->mem_cgroup. But, in special case, it's not set. If task->mm is NULL or task is TIF_MEMDIE or fatal_signal_pending(), try_charge() is bypassed and the new charge will not be charged. And pc->mem_cgroup is unset even if the page will be used/mapped and added to LRU. To avoid this, this patch charges such pages to root_mem_cgroup, then, pc->mem_cgroup will be handled correctly.
