    memcg: add RCU locking around css_for_each_descendant_pre() in memcg_offline_kmem() · 3a06bb78
    Tejun Heo authored
    memcg_offline_kmem() may be called from memcg_free_kmem() after a css
    init failure.  memcg_free_kmem() is a ->css_free callback which is
    called without cgroup_mutex and memcg_offline_kmem() ends up using
    css_for_each_descendant_pre() without any locking.  Fix it by adding rcu
    read locking around it.
    
        mkdir: cannot create directory `65530': No space left on device
