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: v2 -> v3
- handle !mm case in another way.
- removed redundant commments
- fixed move_parent bug of uninitialized pointer
Changelog: v1 -> v2
- returns -EINTR at bypassing.
- change error code handling at callers.
- changed the name of patch.

+ * In some special case, if the task is fatal, fatal_signal_pending() or

+ * that's treated as charge to root_mem_cgroup.
+ *
+ * So, try_charge will return
+ * 0 ... at success. filling *ptr with a valid memcg pointer.
+ * -ENOMEM ... charge failure because of resource limits.
+ * -EINTR ... if thread is fatal. *ptr is filled with root_mem_cgroup.

* Unlike exported interface, "oom" parameter is added. if oom==true,
