The patch titled
Subject: memcg, oom: lock mem_cgroup_print_oom_info
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memcg-oom-lock-mem_cgroup_print_oom_info.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx>
Subject: memcg, oom: lock mem_cgroup_print_oom_info
mem_cgroup_print_oom_info uses a static buffer (memcg_name) to store the
name of the cgroup. This is not safe as pointed out by David Rientjes
because memcg oom is locked only for its hierarchy and nothing prevents
another parallel hierarchy to trigger oom as well and overwrite the
already in-use buffer.
This patch introduces oom_info_lock hidden inside
mem_cgroup_print_oom_info which is held throughout the function. It makes
access to memcg_name safe and as a bonus it also prevents parallel memcg
ooms to interleave their statistics which would make the printed data hard
to analyze otherwise.
