We only check the pointer without dereferencing it, so this is probably
ok, but maybe this is safer:
bool mem_cgroup_has_dirty_limit(void)
{
struct mem_cgroup *mem;
bool ret;
if (mem_cgroup_disabled())
return false;
rcu_read_lock();
mem = mem_cgroup_from_task(current);
ret = mem && !mem_cgroup_is_root(mem);
rcu_read_unlock();
return ret;
}
rcu_read_lock() should be held in mem_cgroup_from_task(), otherwise
lockdep could detect this as an error.
