Subject: memcg: remove the lockdep assert from __mod_objcg_mlstate()
Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 16:13:41 +0200

The assert was introduced in the commit cited below as an insurance that
the semantic is the same after the local_irq_save() has been removed and
the function has been made static.

The original requirement to disable interrupt was due the modification
of per-CPU counters which require interrupts to be disabled because the
counter update operation is not atomic and some of the counters are
updated from interrupt context.

All callers of __mod_objcg_mlstate() acquire a lock
(memcg_stock.stock_lock) which disables interrupts on !PREEMPT_RT and
the lockdep assert is satisfied. On PREEMPT_RT the interrupts are not
disabled and the assert triggers.

The safety of the counter update is already ensured by
VM_WARN_ON_IRQS_ENABLED() which is part of __mod_memcg_lruvec_state() and
does not require yet another check.

Remove the lockdep assert from __mod_objcg_mlstate().
