From a840cda63e543d41270698525542a82b7a8a18d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:06:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: do not acquire page_cgroup lock for kmem pages Kmem page charging and uncharging is serialized by means of exclusive access to the page.
