[PATCH mmotm] memcg: fix mem_cgroup_update_mapped_file_stat oops

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Wed Apr 29 2009 - 17:37:21 EST


CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y cgroup_disable=memory
bootup is oopsing in mem_cgroup_update_mapped_file_stat(). !SPARSEMEM
is fine because its lookup_page_cgroup() contains an explicit check for
NULL node_page_cgroup, but the SPARSEMEM version was missing a check for
NULL section->page_cgroup.

Should go in as a fix to
memcg-add-file-based-rss-accounting.patch
but it's curious that's the first thing to suffer from this divergence.

Perhaps this is the wrong fix, and there should be an explicit
mem_cgroup_disable() check somewhere else; but it would then seem
dangerous that SPARSEMEM and !SPARSEMEM diverge in this way,
and there are lots of lookup_page_cgroup NULL tests around.
