mm/memcontrol: fix OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
Prabhakar reported an OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages() function in a corner case seen on some arm64 boards when kdump kernel runs with "cgroup_disable=memory" passed to the kdump kernel via bootargs. The root-cause behind the same is that currently mem_cgroup_swap_init() function is implemented as a subsys_initcall() call instead of a core_initcall(), this means 'cgroup_memory_noswap' still remains set to the default value (false) even when memcg is disabled via "cgroup_disable=memory" boot parameter. This may result in premature OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages() function in corner cases: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000188 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000006 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006 CM = 0, WnR = 0 [0000000000000188] user address but active_mm is swapper Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: <..snip..> Call trace: mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages+0x9c/0xf4 shrink_lruvec+0x404/0x4f8 shrink_node+0x1a8/0x688 do_try_to_free_pages+0xe8/0x448 try_to_free_pages+0x110/0x230 __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.106+0x2b8/0xb48 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x2ac/0x2f8 alloc_page_interleave+0x20/0x90 alloc_pages_current+0xdc/0xf8 atomic_pool_expand+0x60/0x210 __dma_atomic_pool_init+0x50/0xa4 dma_atomic_pool_init+0xac/0x158 do_one_initcall+0x50/0x218 kernel_init_freeable+0x22c/0x2d0 kernel_init+0x18/0x110 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 Code: aa1403e3 91106000 97f82a27 14000011 (f940c663) ---[ end trace 9795948475817de4 ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Rebooting in 10 seconds..
