Subject: [patch rfc] memcg: remove NULL check from lookup_page_cgroup() result
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2011 15:12:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110203141230.GG2286@cmpxchg.org> (raw)

The page_cgroup array is set up before even fork is initialized.  I
seriously doubt that this code executes before the array is alloc'd.
