From: Randy Dunlap Subject: mm/memcontrol: return 1 from cgroup.memory __setup() handler __setup() handlers should return 1 if the command line option is handled and 0 if not (or maybe never return 0; it just pollutes init's environment). The only reason that this particular __setup handler does not pollute init's environment is that the setup string contains a '.', as in "cgroup.memory". This causes init/main.c::unknown_boottoption() to consider it to be an "Unused module parameter" and ignore it. (This is for parsing of loadable module parameters any time after kernel init.) Otherwise the string "cgroup.memory=whatever" would be added to init's environment strings. Instead of relying on this '.' quirk, just return 1 to indicate that the boot option has been handled. Note that there is no warning message if someone enters: cgroup.memory=anything_invalid Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220222005811.10672-1-rdunlap@infradead.org Fixes: f7e1cb6ec51b0 ("mm: memcontrol: account socket memory in unified hierarchy memory controller") Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Reported-by: Igor Zhbanov Link: lore.kernel.org/r/64644a2f-4a20-bab3-1e15-3b2cdd0defe3@omprussia.ru Reviewed-by: Michal Koutný Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: Michal Hocko Cc: Vladimir Davydov Cc: Roman Gushchin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton --- mm/memcontrol.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/mm/memcontrol.c~mm-memcontrol-return-1-from-cgroupmemory-__setup-handler +++ a/mm/memcontrol.c @@ -7058,7 +7058,7 @@ static int __init cgroup_memory(char *s) if (!strcmp(token, "nokmem")) cgroup_memory_nokmem = true; } - return 0; + return 1; } __setup("cgroup.memory=", cgroup_memory); _
