page_referenced() counts only references of mm's that are associated with the memcg hierarchy that is being reclaimed. However, if it races with the owner of the mm exiting, mm->owner may be NULL. Don't crash, just ignore the reference.This seems to be fixed by Hugh's patch 3a981f48 "memcg: fix use_hierarchy css_is_ancestor oops regression" which seems to be merged already.
And look who acked the patch. I'll show myself out...
