Revision ce48225fe3b1b0d1fc9fceb96ac3d8a879e45114 authored by Hugh Dickins on 03 March 2014, 23:38:24 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 04 March 2014, 15:55:47 UTC
Commit 0eef615665ed ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in
mem_cgroup_iter") got the interaction with the commit a few before it
d8ad30559715 ("mm/memcg: iteration skip memcgs not yet fully
initialized") slightly wrong, and we didn't notice at the time.

It's elusive, and harder to get than the original, but for a couple of
days before rc1, I several times saw a endless loop similar to that
supposedly being fixed.

This time it was a tighter loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next(): because we
can get here when our root has already been offlined, and the ordering
of conditions was such that we then just cycled around forever.

Fixes: 0eef615665ed ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter").
