memcg: fix race in file_mapped accounting
Presently, memcg's FILE_MAPPED accounting has following race with move_account (happens at rmdir()). increment page->mapcount (rmap.c) mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() move_account() lock_page_cgroup() check page_mapped() if page_mapped(page)>1 { FILE_MAPPED -1 from old memcg FILE_MAPPED +1 to old memcg } ..... overwrite pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() lock_page_cgroup() FILE_MAPPED + 1 to pc->mem_cgroup unlock_page_cgroup() Then, old memcg (-1 file mapped) new memcg (+2 file mapped) This happens because move_account see page_mapped() which is not guarded by lock_page_cgroup(). This patch adds FILE_MAPPED flag to page_cgroup and move account information based on it. Now, all checks are synchronous with lock_page_cgroup().
