Pong ;)

I have sent the patch on May 31, see
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133848759505805
Also attached below, just in case.

Initiallly I sent 2 patches, see
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133848784705941
but 2/2 (your patch) was already merged.

[PATCH] correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec

A simplified version of Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch.

do_exit() and exec_mmap() call sync_mm_rss() before mm_release()
does put_user(clear_child_tid) which can update task->rss_stat
and thus make mm->rss_stat inconsistent. This triggers the "BUG:"
printk in check_mm().

- Move the final sync_mm_rss() from do_exit() to exit_mm(), and
  change exec_mmap() to call sync_mm_rss() after mm_release() to
  make check_mm() happy.

  Perhaps we should simply move it into mm_release() and call it
  unconditionally to catch the "task->rss_stat != 0 && !task->mm"
  bugs.

- Since taskstats_exit() is called before exit_mm(), add another
  sync_mm_rss() into xacct_add_tsk() who actually uses rss_stat.

  Probably we should also shift acct_update_integrals().
