Hm, it seems like the only way how it can be NULL is if mem_cgroup_disabled() is true:
int mem_cgroup_charge(struct page *page, struct mm_struct *mm, gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
unsigned int nr_pages = hpage_nr_pages(page);
struct mem_cgroup *memcg = NULL;
int ret = 0;
if (mem_cgroup_disabled())
goto out;
<...>
if (!memcg)
memcg = get_mem_cgroup_from_mm(mm);
ret = try_charge(memcg, gfp_mask, nr_pages);
if (ret)
goto out_put;
css_get(&memcg->css);
commit_charge(page, memcg);
Did you hit this issue in reality? The only possible scenario I can imagine
is if the page was allocated before enabling memory cgroups.
Are you about this case?
Otherwise we put root_mem_cgroup there.
Thanks!
