From 22f2020f84c6da2dd0acb2dce12e39e59ff7c8be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:53:48 -0700 Subject: vmpressure: change vmpressure::sr_lock to spinlock There is nothing that can sleep inside critical sections protected by this lock and those sections are really small so there doesn't make much sense to use mutex for them.

This means that memcg (along with vmpressure structure which is embedded into it) might go away while the work item is pending which would result in use-after-release bug. We have two possible ways how to fix this. Either vmpressure pins memcg before it schedules vmpr->work and unpin it in vmpressure_work_fn or explicitely flush the work item from the css_offline context (as suggested by Tejun). This patch implements the later one and it introduces vmpressure_cleanup which flushes the vmpressure work queue item item. It hooks into mem_cgroup_css_offline after the memcg itself is cleaned up.
