[PATCH v2 18/28] mm: zswap: prevent memory cgroup release in zswap_compress()
Posted by Qi Zheng 2 days, 8 hours ago
From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory
cgroup. To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to hold the rcu read
lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup returned by
folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.

In the current patch, the rcu read lock is employed to safeguard against
the release of the memory cgroup in zswap_compress().
