[PATCH 2/4] memcg: fix error path of mem_cgroup_move_parent

From: Daisuke Nishimura
Date: Tue Jan 13 2009 - 05:37:00 EST


There is a bug in error path of mem_cgroup_move_parent.

Extra refcnt got from try_charge should be dropped, and usages incremented
by try_charge should be decremented in both error paths:

A: failure at get_page_unless_zero
B: failure at isolate_lru_page

This bug makes this parent directory unremovable.

In case of A, rmdir doesn't return, because res.usage doesn't go
down to 0 at mem_cgroup_force_empty even after all the pc in
lru are removed.
In case of B, rmdir fails and returns -EBUSY, because it has
extra ref counts even after res.usage goes down to 0.
