Subject: mm: page_io: prevent memory cgroup release in page_io module
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1f6f80c2dbb4516dffaaeb54a9009acea2bf61ca;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

mm: page_io: prevent memory cgroup release in page_io module

In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory
cgroup.  To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to hold the rcu
read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup returned by
folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.

In the current patch, the rcu read lock is employed to safeguard against
the release of the memory cgroup in swap_writeout() and
bio_associate_blkg_from_page().

This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the LRU pages.
