Re: [PATCH] [RT] avoid preemption in memory controller code

the lru_lock of struct mem_group_per_zone is used to avoid preemption
during the mem_cgroup_charge_statistics function. this does not work
correctly, when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled.
therefore, the preemption is disabled using the preempt_disable_rt macro
in these cases.

Sorry, memcg's code this function in mmotm kernel is now, following.
Please give me advice if some more thinking is necessary for RT.

==
static void mem_cgroup_charge_statistics(struct mem_cgroup *mem,
struct page_cgroup *pc,
bool charge)
{
int val = (charge)? 1 : -1;
struct mem_cgroup_stat *stat = &mem->stat;
struct mem_cgroup_stat_cpu *cpustat;
int cpu = get_cpu();

cpustat = &stat->cpustat[cpu];
if (PageCgroupCache(pc))
__mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe(cpustat, MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE, val);
else
__mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe(cpustat, MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS, val);

if (charge)
__mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe(cpustat,
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_PGPGIN_COUNT, 1);
else
__mem_cgroup_stat_add_safe(cpustat,
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_PGPGOUT_COUNT, 1);
put_cpu();
}
