How about this ? -- >From 6076425613f594d442c58a5d463c09f8309236aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:27:25 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: return -EINTR at bypassing try_charge(). This patch is a fix for memcg-simplify-lru-handling-by-new-rule.patch When running testprogram and stop it by Ctrl-C, add_lru/del_lru will find pc->mem_cgroup is NULL and get panic. The reason is bypass code in try_charge(). At try_charge(), it checks the thread is fatal or not as.. fatal_signal_pending() or TIF_MEMDIE. In this case, __try_charge() returns 0(success) with setting *ptr as NULL. Now, lruvec are deteremined by pc->mem_cgroup. So, it's better to reset pc->mem_cgroup as root_mem_cgroup. This patch does following change in try_charge() 1. return -EINTR at bypassing. 2. set *ptr = root_mem_cgroup at bypassing. By this change, in page fault / radix-tree-insert path, the page will be charged against root_mem_cgroup and the thread's operations will go ahead without trouble. In other path, migration or move_account etc..., -EINTR will stop the operation. (may need some cleanup later..) After this change, pc->mem_cgroup will have valid pointer if the page is used. Changelog: v1 -> v2 - returns -EINTR at bypassing. - change error code handling at callers. - changed the name of patch.
