[PATCH RT 4/8] mm/memcontrol: Move misplaced local_unlock_irqrestore()

From: zanussi
Date: Mon Mar 09 2020 - 15:48:28 EST


From: Matt Fleming <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v4.14.172-rt78-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------


[ Upstream commit 071a1d6a6e14d0dec240a8c67b425140d7f92f6a ]

The comment about local_lock_irqsave() mentions just the counters and
css_put_many()'s callback just invokes a worker so it is safe to move the
unlock function after memcg_check_events() so css_put_many() can be invoked
without the lock acquired.
