Ah yes, indeed.

Not sure, but perhaps I am all confused....

before your patch get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() looks at mm->owner == current
(in this case) and mem_cgroup_from_task() should return the correct memcg
even if execing task migrates after bprm_mm_init(). At least in the common
case when the old mm is not shared.

After your patch the memory allocations in copy_strings() won't be accounted
correctly, bprm->mm->memcg is wrong if this task migrates. And iiuc your recent
"[PATCH 2/2] memcg: Close the race between migration and installing bprm->mm as mm"
doesn't fix the problem.

No?

Perhaps we can change get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() to use
mem_cgroup_from_css(current, memory_cgrp_id) if mm->memcg == NULL?

Oleg.
