Subject: [PATCH v3] memcg: Fix memcg_kmem_bypass() for remote memcg charging
Date: Tue, 26 May 2020 09:25:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1d202a12-26fe-0012-ea14-f025ddcd044a@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200513112905.GX29153@dhcp22.suse.cz>
While trying to use remote memcg charging in an out-of-tree kernel module
I found it's not working, because the current thread is a workqueue thread.
As we will probably encounter this issue in the future as the users of
memalloc_use_memcg() grow, and it's nothing wrong for this usage, it's
better we fix it now.
