It has been working fine so far(for about 1 hour). Thanks, Daisuke Nishimura. === From: Daisuke Nishimura mem_cgroup_get ensures that the memcg that has been got can be accessed even after the directory has been removed, but it doesn't ensure that parents of it can be accessed: parents might have been freed already by rmdir. This causes a bug in case of use_hierarchy==1, because res_counter_uncharge climb up the tree. This patch tries to fix this probrem by getting parents at create, and putting them at freeing.
