We do that by need, because we need vfree to be called in a process context. This patch unifies this behavior, by ensuring that even kfree will happen in a separate thread. The goal is to have a stable place to call the upcoming jump label destruction function outside the realm of the complicated and quite far-reaching cgroup lock (that can't be held when calling neither the cpu_hotplug.lock nor the jump_label_mutex) Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa CC: Tejun Heo CC: Li Zefan CC: Kamezawa Hiroyuki CC: Johannes Weiner CC: Michal Hocko --- mm/memcontrol.c | 24 +++++++++++++----------- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/memcontrol.c b/mm/memcontrol.c index 932a734..0b4b4c8 100644 --- a/mm/memcontrol.c +++ b/mm/memcontrol.c @@ -245,8 +245,8 @@ struct mem_cgroup { */ struct rcu_head rcu_freeing; /* - * But when using vfree(), that cannot be done at - * interrupt time, so we must then queue the work. + * We also need some space for a worker in deferred freeing. + * By the time we call it, rcu_freeing is not longer in use. */ struct work_struct work_freeing; }; @@ -4826,23 +4826,28 @@ out_free: } /* - * Helpers for freeing a vzalloc()ed mem_cgroup by RCU, + * Helpers for freeing a kmalloc()ed/vzalloc()ed mem_cgroup by RCU, * but in process context.
