    Subject[PATCH 4.14 16/95] mm, memcg: fix mem_cgroup_swapout() for THPs
    Date
    4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com>

    commit d08afa149acfd00871484ada6dabc3880524cd1c upstream.

    Commit d6810d730022 ("memcg, THP, swap: make mem_cgroup_swapout()
    support THP") changed mem_cgroup_swapout() to support transparent huge
    page (THP).

    However the patch missed one location which should be changed for
    correctly handling THPs. The resulting bug will cause the memory
    cgroups whose THPs were swapped out to become zombies on deletion.
