3.10.70-rt75-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mike Galbraith mm, memcg: make refill_stock() use get_cpu_light() Nikita reported the following memcg scheduling while atomic bug: Call Trace: [e22d5a90] [c0007ea8] show_stack+0x4c/0x168 (unreliable) [e22d5ad0] [c0618c04] __schedule_bug+0x94/0xb0 [e22d5ae0] [c060b9ec] __schedule+0x530/0x550 [e22d5bf0] [c060bacc] schedule+0x30/0xbc [e22d5c00] [c060ca24] rt_spin_lock_slowlock+0x180/0x27c [e22d5c70] [c00b39dc] res_counter_uncharge_until+0x40/0xc4 [e22d5ca0] [c013ca88] drain_stock.isra.20+0x54/0x98 [e22d5cc0] [c01402ac] __mem_cgroup_try_charge+0x2e8/0xbac [e22d5d70] [c01410d4] mem_cgroup_charge_common+0x3c/0x70 [e22d5d90] [c0117284] __do_fault+0x38c/0x510 [e22d5df0] [c011a5f4] handle_pte_fault+0x98/0x858 [e22d5e50] [c060ed08] do_page_fault+0x42c/0x6fc [e22d5f40] [c000f5b4] handle_page_fault+0xc/0x80 What happens: refill_stock() get_cpu_var() drain_stock() res_counter_uncharge() res_counter_uncharge_until() spin_lock() <== boom Fix it by replacing get/put_cpu_var() with get/put_cpu_light().
