Subject: [PATCH v3 01/30] mm: memcontrol: remove dead code of checking parent memory cgroup
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 19:26:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <290890d5739df2cb2d0e5a40e15f5e836fa65587.1768389889.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1768389889.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>
From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>
Since the no-hierarchy mode has been deprecated after the commit:
commit bef8620cd8e0 ("mm: memcg: deprecate the non-hierarchical mode").
As a result, parent_mem_cgroup() will not return NULL except when passing
the root memcg, and the root memcg cannot be offline. Hence, it's safe to
remove the check on the returned value of parent_mem_cgroup(). Remove the
corresponding dead code.
