From e86828e5446d95676835679837d995dec188d2be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Gushchin Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2023 15:53:44 -0700 Subject: mm: kmem: scoped objcg protection Switch to a scope-based protection of the objcg pointer on slab/kmem allocation paths. Instead of using the get_() semantics in the pre-allocation hook and put the reference afterwards, let's rely on the fact that objcg is pinned by the scope. It's possible because: 1) if the objcg is received from the current task struct, the task is keeping a reference to the objcg. 2) if the objcg is received from an active memcg (remote charging), the memcg is pinned by the scope and has a reference to the corresponding objcg.
