[PATCH 1/2] uprobes: fix the memcg accounting

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Aug 17 2016 - 11:36:47 EST


__replace_page() wronlgy calls mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() in "success" path,
it should only do this if page_check_address() fails.

This means that every enable/disable leads to unbalanced mem_cgroup_uncharge()
from put_page(old_page), it is trivial to underflow the page_counter->count
and trigger OOM.
