3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hu...@google.com>
commit ce48225fe3b1b0d1fc9fceb96ac3d8a879e45114 upstream.
Commit 0eef615665ed ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in
mem_cgroup_iter") got the interaction with the commit a few before it
d8ad30559715 ("mm/memcg: iteration skip memcgs not yet fully
initialized") slightly wrong, and we didn't notice at the time.
It's elusive, and harder to get than the original, but for a couple of
days before rc1, I several times saw a endless loop similar to that
supposedly being fixed.
This time it was a tighter loop in __mem_cgroup_iter_next(): because we
can get here when our root has already been offlined, and the ordering
of conditions was such that we then just cycled around forever.
Fixes: 0eef615665ed ("memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in
mem_cgroup_iter").
