From 20f05310ba62d5816fb339d08effe78683137197 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2013 16:00:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: don't use mem_cgroup_get() when creating a kmemcg cache Use css_get()/css_put() instead of mem_cgroup_get()/mem_cgroup_put(). There are two things being done in the current code: First, we acquired a css_ref to make sure that the underlying cgroup would not go away. That is a short lived reference, and it is put as soon as the cache is created. At this point, we acquire a long-lived per-cache memcg reference count to guarantee that the memcg will still be alive. so it is: enqueue: css_get create : memcg_get, css_put destroy: memcg_put So we only need to get rid of the memcg_get, change the memcg_put to css_put, and get rid of the now extra css_put.
