Michal Hocko 72f0184c8a mm, memcg: remove hotplug locking from try_charge 
The following lockdep splat has been noticed during LTP testing

  ======================================================
  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  4.13.0-rc3-next-20170807 #12 Not tainted
  ------------------------------------------------------
  a.out/4771 is trying to acquire lock:
   (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff812b4668>] drain_all_stock.part.35+0x18/0x140

  but task is already holding lock:
   (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8106eb35>] __do_page_fault+0x175/0x530

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

  the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

  other info that might help us debug this:

  Chain exists of:
    cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> &type->i_mutex_dir_key#3 --> &mm->mmap_sem

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
                                 lock(&type->i_mutex_dir_key#3);
                                 lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
    lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

  2 locks held by a.out/4771:
   #0:  (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8106eb35>] __do_page_fault+0x175/0x530
   #1:  (percpu_charge_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff812b4c97>] try_charge+0x397/0x6e0

The problem is very similar to the one fixed by commit a459eeb7b8
("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks inside the
allocator").  We are taking hotplug locks while we can be sitting on top
of basically arbitrary locks.  This just calls for problems.

We can get rid of {get,put}_online_cpus, fortunately.  We do not have to
be worried about races with memory hotplug because drain_local_stock,
which is called from both the WQ draining and the memory hotplug
contexts, is always operating on the local cpu stock with IRQs disabled.

The only thing to be careful about is that the target memcg doesn't
vanish while we are still in drain_all_stock so take a reference on it.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
