[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: remove rcu_read_lock from get_mem_cgroup_from_page

From: Muchun Song
Date: Fri Feb 05 2021 - 01:30:06 EST


The get_mem_cgroup_from_page() is called under page lock, so the page
memcg cannot be changed under us. Also, css_get is enough because page
has a reference to the memcg.

If we really want to make the get_mem_cgroup_from_page() suitable for
arbitrary page, we should use page_memcg_rcu() instead of page_memcg()
and call it after rcu_read_lock().
