The patch titled Subject: cgroups: forbid pre_destroy() callback failures has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was cgroups-forbid-pre_destroy-callback-to-fail.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxx> Subject: cgroups: forbid pre_destroy() callback failures Now that the mem_cgroup_pre_destroy() callback doesn't fail (other than a race with a task attach resp. child group appears) finally we can safely move on and forbid all the callbacks from failing. The last missing piece is moving cgroup_call_pre_destroy() after cgroup_clear_css_refs() so that css_tryget() fails so no new charges for the memcg can happen. We cannot, however, move cgroup_call_pre_destroy right after because we cannot call mem_cgroup_pre_destroy with the cgroup_lock held (see 3fa59dfb cgroup: fix potential deadlock in pre_destroy) so we have to move it after the lock is released.
