[PATCH 1/9] memcg: accounting for allocations called with disabled BH

[PATCH 1/9] memcg: accounting for allocations called with disabled BH

[Vasily Averin]

in_interrupt() check in memcg_kmem_bypass() is incorrect because
it does not allow to account memory allocation called from task context
with disabled BH, i.e. inside spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() sections

Is there any existing user in the tree? Or is this more of a preparatory
patch for a later one which will need it? In other words, is this a bug
fix or a preparatory work.

In that file in_interrupt() is used at other places too. Should we
change those too?

Yes, it seems so. Let me prepare a fix (it seems like most of them were
introduced by me).

Good catch!

It looks like the bug was there for years: in_interrupt() was there since
the commit 7ae1e1d0f8ac ("memcg: kmem controller infrastructure") from 2012!
So I guess there is no point for a stable fix, but it's definitely nice to
have it fixed.

struct fib6_node objects are allocated by this way
net/ipv6/route.c::__ip6_ins_rt()
...        write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);
        err = fib6_add(&table->tb6_root, rt, info, mxc);
        write_unlock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);

I spend some time to understand why properly entries from properly configured cache
was not accounted to container's memcg.

Yes, you're right, in_interrupt() is used incorrectly in other places too,
but 
1) these cases are not so critical as this one,
2) and are not related to current patch set

They can be replaced later without urgency
(unless I missed something imporant).

I did not noticed that this problem affect existing allocation,
I just found that it blocked accounting of "struct fib6_node" in __ip6_ins_rt() 
added in my current patch set. So I do not think it should went to stable@.

OK, that is a valuable information. If there are no other users
currently then I would recommend squashing this patch into the one which
introduces accounting for fib6_node cache (patch 2, IIUC).
