[PATCH v5 08/32] mm: memcontrol: prevent memory cgroup release in get_mem_cgroup_from_folio()
From: Qi Zheng
Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 02:51:57 EST
From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding
memory cgroup. To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to
hold the rcu read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup
returned by folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.
In the current patch, the rcu read lock is employed to safeguard
against the release of the memory cgroup in get_mem_cgroup_from_folio().
This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the
LRU pages.
