Subject: mm: increment gen # before restarting traversal
Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2024 00:30:52 +0000
The generation number in struct mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter should be
incremented on every round-trip. Currently, it is possible for a
concurrent reclaimer to jump in at the end of the hierarchy, causing a
traversal restart (resetting the iteration position) without incrementing
the generation number.
By resetting the position without incrementing the generation, it's
possible for another ongoing mem_cgroup_iter() thread to walk the tree
twice.
Move the traversal restart such that the generation number is
incremented before the restart.
