Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH -stable] memcg: avoid oom-killing innocent task in case of use_hierarchy
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:28:54 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091124162854.fb31e81e.nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091124145759.194cfc9f.nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp>

task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check whether
a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit, checks
"curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs to).

But this check return true(it's false positive) when:

	<some path>/00		use_hierarchy == 0	<- hitting limit
	  <some path>/00/aa	use_hierarchy == 1	<- "curr"

This leads to killing an innocent task in 00/aa. This patch is a fix for this
bug. And this patch also fixes the arg for mem_cgroup_print_oom_info(). We
should print information of mem_cgroup which the task being killed, not current,
belongs to.
