Hi.

Call Trace:

[e22d5f40] [c000f5b4] handle_page_fault+0xc/0x80

What happens:

- refill_stock() calls get_cpu_var() and thus disables preemption until
matching put_cpu_var() is called,

- then it calls drain_stock() -> res_counter_uncharge() ->
res_counter_uncharge_until()

- and here we have spin_lock(), which under RT can sleep. Thus we have
sleeping with preemption disabled.


Any ideas how to fix?

The below should work.. though not as well as turning it off.

mm, memcg: make refill_stock()/consume_stock() use get_cpu_light()

Nikita reported the following memcg scheduling while atomic bug:

What happens:

refill_stock()
get_cpu_var()
drain_stock()
res_counter_uncharge()
res_counter_uncharge_until()
spin_lock() <== boom

Fix it by replacing get/put_cpu_var() with get/put_cpu_light().

I am not taking this chunk. That preempt_disable() is lower weight
and there is nothing happening that does not work with it.

I am a little more worried that drain_stock() could be called more than
once on the same CPU.
- memcg_cpu_hotplug_callback() doesn't disable preemption
- drain_local_stock() doesn't as well

so maybe it doesn't matter.
