Subject: [PATCH 4.4 44/75] memcg: add RCU locking around css_for_each_descendant_pre() in memcg_offline_kmem()

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit 3a06bb78ceeceacc86a1e31133a7944013f9775b upstream.

memcg_offline_kmem() may be called from memcg_free_kmem() after a css
init failure.  memcg_free_kmem() is a ->css_free callback which is
called without cgroup_mutex and memcg_offline_kmem() ends up using
css_for_each_descendant_pre() without any locking.  Fix it by adding rcu
read locking around it.

    mkdir: cannot create directory `65530': No space left on device
