commit d31f56dbf8bafaacb0c617f9a6f137498d5c7aed upstream
task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check whether
a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit, checks
"curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs to).
But this check return true(it's false positive) when:
<some path>/00 use_hierarchy == 0 <- hitting limit
<some path>/00/aa use_hierarchy == 1 <- "curr"
This leads to killing an innocent task in 00/aa. This patch is a fix for this
bug. And this patch also fixes the arg for mem_cgroup_print_oom_info(). We
should print information of mem_cgroup which the task being killed, not current,
belongs to.
