From 873f64b791a2b43c246e78b7d9fdd64ce909685b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiebin Sun Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2022 00:49:49 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memcontrol.c: remove the redundant updating of stats_flush_threshold Remove the redundant updating of stats_flush_threshold. If the global var stats_flush_threshold has exceeded the trigger value for __mem_cgroup_flush_stats, further increment is unnecessary.
