From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs: buffer: use raw page_memcg() on locked page alloc_page_buffers() currently uses get_mem_cgroup_from_page() for charging the buffers to the page owner, which does an rcu-protected page->memcg lookup and acquires a reference. But buffer allocation has the page lock held throughout, which pins the page to the memcg and thereby the memcg - neither rcu nor holding an extra reference during the allocation are necessary. Use a raw page_memcg() instead. This was the last user of get_mem_cgroup_from_page(), delete it.
