Subject: [patch 1/3] mm: fix pageref leak in do_swap_page()
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 22:24:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240259085-25872-1-git-send-email-hannes@cmpxchg.org> (raw)
By the time the memory cgroup code is notified about a swapin we
already hold a reference on the fault page.
If the cgroup callback fails make sure to unlock AND release the page
or we leak the reference.
