From: Matt Fleming <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> v4.14.172-rt78-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ----------- [ Upstream commit 071a1d6a6e14d0dec240a8c67b425140d7f92f6a ] The comment about local_lock_irqsave() mentions just the counters and css_put_many()'s callback just invokes a worker so it is safe to move the unlock function after memcg_check_events() so css_put_many() can be invoked without the lock acquired.
