Subject: [BUGFIX][RFT][PATCH] memcg: fix double free in error route
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:02:02 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081216150202.bf6408ac.kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
Could you test this ?
This includes a fix and a cleanup.
After this, the kernel will panic if handling of refcnt is bad.
This is against mmotom-dec-15.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>
1. Fix double-free BUG in error route of mem_cgroup_create().
mem_cgroup_free() itself frees per-zone-info.
2. Making refcnt of memcg simple.
Add 1 refcnt at creation and call free when refcnt goes down to 0.
