From cbedbac3e66121ddbac363776c23119f8eaeefda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li RongQing Date: Fri, 27 May 2016 14:27:43 -0700 Subject: mm/memcontrol.c: fix the margin computation in mem_cgroup_margin() mem_cgroup_margin() might return (memory.limit - memory_count) when the memsw.limit is in excess. This doesn't happen usually because we do not allow excess on hard limits and (memory.limit <= memsw.limit), but __GFP_NOFAIL charges can force the charge and cause the excess when no memory is really swappable (swap is full or no anonymous memory is left).
