Memory controller use rcu_read_lock() in mem_cgroup_cache_charge()
Hugh Dickins noticed that we were using rcu_dereference() without rcu_read_lock() in the cache charging routine. The patch below fixes this problem Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
