memcg: fix hierarchical reclaim
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If root_mem has no children, last_scaned_child is set to root_mem itself.
But after some children added to root_mem, mem_cgroup_get_next_node can
mem_cgroup_put the root_mem although root_mem has not been mem_cgroup_get.

This patch fixes this behavior by:

- Set last_scanned_child to NULL if root_mem has no children or DFS
  search has returned to root_mem itself(root_mem is not a "child" of
  root_mem).  Make mem_cgroup_get_first_node return root_mem in this case.
   There are no mem_cgroup_get/put for root_mem.

- Rename mem_cgroup_get_next_node to __mem_cgroup_get_next_node, and
  mem_cgroup_get_first_node to mem_cgroup_get_next_node.  Make
  mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim call only new mem_cgroup_get_next_node.
