Johannes Weiner c3cc39118c mm: memcontrol: fix NR_WRITEBACK leak in memcg and system stats 
After commit a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting"), we observed slowly upward creeping NR_WRITEBACK
counts over the course of several days, both the per-memcg stats as well
as the system counter in e.g.  /proc/meminfo.

The conversion from full per-cpu stat counts to per-cpu cached atomic
stat counts introduced an irq-unsafe RMW operation into the updates.

Most stat updates come from process context, but one notable exception
is the NR_WRITEBACK counter.  While writebacks are issued from process
context, they are retired from (soft)irq context.

When writeback completions interrupt the RMW counter updates of new
writebacks being issued, the decs from the completions are lost.

Since the global updates are routed through the joint lruvec API, both
the memcg counters as well as the system counters are affected.

This patch makes the joint stat and event API irq safe.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
