memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nesting
We have forgotten the rules of lock nesting: the irq-safe ones must be
taken inside the non-irq-safe ones, otherwise we are open to deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);
To check a different locking issue, I happened to add a spin_lock to
memcg's bit_spin_lock in lock_page_cgroup(), and lockdep very quickly
complained about __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare() (on CPU1 above).
So delete __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare(), passing a bool lrucare to
__mem_cgroup_commit_charge() instead, taking zone->lru_lock under
lock_page_cgroup() in the lrucare case.
The original was using spin_lock_irqsave, but we'd be in more trouble if
it were ever called at interrupt time: unconditional _irq is enough. And
ClearPageLRU before del from lru, SetPageLRU before add to lru: no strong
reason, but that is the ordering used consistently elsewhere.
Fixes 36b62ad539498d00c2d280a151a ("memcg: simplify corner case handling
of LRU").
