[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: fix get_active_memcg return value

From: Muchun Song
Date: Tue Feb 23 2021 - 04:14:51 EST


We use a global percpu int_active_memcg variable to store the remote
memcg when we are in the interrupt context. But get_active_memcg always
return the current->active_memcg or root_mem_cgroup. The remote memcg
(set in the interrupt context) is ignored. This is not what we want.
So fix it.

Fixes: 37d5985c003d ("mm: kmem: prepare remote memcg charging infra for interrupt contexts")
