Subject: [merged] memcg-dont-use-mem_cgroup_get-when-creating-a-kmemcg-cache.patch removed from -mm tree To: lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx,glommer@xxxxxxxxxx,hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx,hughd@xxxxxxxxxx,kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,mhocko@xxxxxxx,tj@xxxxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:20:39 -0700 The patch titled Subject: memcg: don't use mem_cgroup_get() when creating a kmemcg cache has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memcg-dont-use-mem_cgroup_get-when-creating-a-kmemcg-cache.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Li Zefan <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memcg: don't use mem_cgroup_get() when creating a kmemcg cache Use css_get()/css_put() instead of mem_cgroup_get()/mem_cgroup_put(). There are two things being done in the current code: First, we acquired a css_ref to make sure that the underlying cgroup would not go away. That is a short lived reference, and it is put as soon as the cache is created. At this point, we acquire a long-lived per-cache memcg reference count to guarantee that the memcg will still be alive. so it is: enqueue: css_get create : memcg_get, css_put destroy: memcg_put So we only need to get rid of the memcg_get, change the memcg_put to css_put, and get rid of the now extra css_put.
