Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/15] mm: memcontrol: make all the callers of page_memcg() safe
Date:   Tue, 30 Mar 2021 18:15:27 +0800
Message-Id: <20210330101531.82752-12-songmuchun@bytedance.com>

When we use objcg APIs to charge the LRU pages, the page will not hold
a reference to the memcg associated with the page. So the caller of the
page_memcg() should hold an rcu read lock or obtain a reference to the
memcg associated with the page to protect memcg from being released. So
introduce get_mem_cgroup_from_page() to obtain a reference to the memory
cgroup associated with the page.

In this patch, make all the callers hold an rcu read lock or obtain a
reference to the memcg to protect memcg from being released when the LRU
pages reparented.

We do not need to adjust the callers of page_memcg() during the whole
process of mem_cgroup_move_task(). Because the cgroup migration and
memory cgroup offlining are serialized by @cgroup_mutex. In this
routine, the LRU pages cannot be reparented to its parent memory
cgroup. So page_memcg(page) is stable and cannot be released.

This is a preparation for reparenting the LRU pages.
