[merged mm-stable] memcg-make-memcg_rstat_updated-nmi-safe.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: memcg: make memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     memcg-make-memcg_rstat_updated-nmi-safe.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: memcg: make memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe
Date: Sun, 18 May 2025 23:31:42 -0700

Currently kernel maintains memory related stats updates per-cgroup to
optimize stats flushing.  The stats_updates is defined as atomic64_t which
is not nmi-safe on some archs.  Actually we don't really need 64bit atomic
as the max value stats_updates can get should be less than nr_cpus *
MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH.  A normal atomic_t should suffice.

Also the function cgroup_rstat_updated() is still not nmi-safe but there
is parallel effort to make it nmi-safe, so until then let's ignore it in
the nmi context.
