[PATCH] mm, memcg: assign shrinker_map before kvfree
From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Fri Sep 20 2019 - 08:29:13 EST
Currently there is a small gap between fetching pointer, calling
kvfree and assign its value to nil. In current callgraph it is
not a problem (since memcg_free_shrinker_maps is running from
memcg_alloc_shrinker_maps and mem_cgroup_css_free only) still
this looks suspicious and we can easily eliminate the gap at all.
