From 713735b4233fad3ae35b5cad656baa41413887ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 14:44:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: correctly order reading PCG_USED and pc->mem_cgroup The placement of the read-side barrier is confused: the writer first sets pc->mem_cgroup, then PCG_USED. The read-side barrier has to be between testing PCG_USED and reading pc->mem_cgroup.
