Subject: [33/39] memcg: avoid oom-killing innocent task in case of use_hierarchy
Date: Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:02:29 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100105200303.273164182@mini.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100105195007.GA23952@kroah.com>

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp>

commit d31f56dbf8bafaacb0c617f9a6f137498d5c7aed upstream

task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check whether
a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit, checks
"curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs to).

But this check return true(it's false positive) when:

	<some path>/00		use_hierarchy == 0	<- hitting limit
	  <some path>/00/aa	use_hierarchy == 1	<- "curr"

This leads to killing an innocent task in 00/aa. This patch is a fix for this
bug. And this patch also fixes the arg for mem_cgroup_print_oom_info(). We
should print information of mem_cgroup which the task being killed, not current,
belongs to.
