Subject: mm: memcg: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to access stock->cached
Date: Tue, 2 May 2023 09:08:39 -0700

A memcg pointer in the percpu stock can be accessed by drain_all_stock()
from another cpu in a lockless way.  In theory it might lead to an issue,
similar to the one which has been discovered with stock->cached_objcg,
where the pointer was zeroed between the check for being NULL and
dereferencing.  In this case the issue is unlikely a real problem, but to
make it bulletproof and similar to stock->cached_objcg, let's annotate all
accesses to stock->cached with READ_ONCE()/WTRITE_ONCE().
