From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: memcontrol: simplify the logic of objcg pinning memcg The obj_cgroup_release() and memcg_reparent_objcgs() are serialized by the css_set_lock. We do not need to care about objcg->memcg being released in the process of obj_cgroup_release(). So there is no need to pin memcg before releasing objcg. Remove those pinning logic to simplfy the code. There are only two places that modifies the objcg->memcg. One is the initialization to objcg->memcg in the memcg_online_kmem(), another is objcgs reparenting in the memcg_reparent_objcgs(). It is also impossible for the two to run in parallel. So xchg() is unnecessary and it is enough to use WRITE_ONCE().
