From ce48225fe3b1b0d1fc9fceb96ac3d8a879e45114 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 15:38:24 -0800 Subject: memcg: fix endless loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next() Commit 0eef615665ed ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter") got the interaction with the commit a few before it d8ad30559715 ("mm/memcg: iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") slightly wrong, and we didn't notice at the time. It's elusive, and harder to get than the original, but for a couple of days before rc1, I several times saw a endless loop similar to that supposedly being fixed. This time it was a tighter loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next(): because we can get here when our root has already been offlined, and the ordering of conditions was such that we then just cycled around forever.

There may turn out to be several causes, but a major cause is this: the workitem to offline parent can get run before workitem to offline child; parent's mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() circles around waiting for the child's pages to be reparented to its lrus, but it's holding cgroup_mutex which prevents the child from reaching its mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(). Further testing showed that an ordered workqueue for cgroup_destroy_wq is not always good enough: percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm's call_rcu_sched stage on the way can mess up the order before reaching the workqueue. Instead, when offlining a memcg, call mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() on all its children (and grandchildren, in the correct order) to have their charges reparented first.
