Subject: [PATCH 10/12] memcg: don't need to get a reference to the parent
Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2013 14:35:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51626536.3040901@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5162648B.9070802@huawei.com>

The cgroup core guarantees it's always safe to access the parent.

v2:
- added a comment in mem_cgroup_put() as suggested by Michal
- removed mem_cgroup_get(), otherwise gcc will warn that it's not used
