[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: fix possible css ref leak on oom

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Mon May 23 2016 - 12:02:28 EST


mem_cgroup_oom may be invoked multiple times while a process is handling
a page fault, in which case current->memcg_in_oom will be overwritten
leaking the previously taken css reference.
