[PATCH] memcg: Remove the lockdep assert from __mod_objcg_mlstate().

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

 



The assert was introduced in the commit cited below as an insurance that
the semantic is the same after the local_irq_save() has been removed and
the function has been made static.

The original requirement to disable interrupt was due the modification
of per-CPU counters which require interrupts to be disabled because the
counter update operation is not atomic and some of the counters are
updated from interrupt context.

All callers of __mod_objcg_mlstate() acquire a lock
(memcg_stock.stock_lock) which disables interrupts on !PREEMPT_RT and
the lockdep assert is satisfied. On PREEMPT_RT the interrupts are not
disabled and the assert triggers.

The safety of the counter update is already ensured by
VM_WARN_ON_IRQS_ENABLED() which is part of memcg_stats_lock() and does
not require yet another check.

Remove the lockdep assert from __mod_objcg_mlstate().
