[BUGFIX][PATCH 2/3] memcg/tcp: fix static_branch handling

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu Mar 29 2012 - 02:31:05 EST


tcp memcontrol uses static_branch to optimize limit=RESOURCE_MAX case.
If all cgroup's limit=RESOUCE_MAX, resource usage is not accounted.
But it's buggy now.

For example, do following
# while sleep 1;do
echo 9223372036854775807 > /cgroup/memory/A/memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes;
echo 300M > /cgroup/memory/A/memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes;
done

and run network application under A. tcp's usage is sometimes accounted
and sometimes not accounted because of frequent changes of static_branch.
Then, finally, you can see broken tcp.usage_in_bytes.
WARN_ON() is printed because res_counter->usage goes below 0.

This patch removes static_branch_slow_dec() at changing res_counter's
limit to RESOUCE_MAX. By this, once accounting started, the accountting
will continue until the cgroup is destroyed.

I think this will not be problem in real use.
