Re: [PATCH 3/6] mm, memcg: Prevent memory.low load/store tearing

Hello.

I see suspicious asymmetry, in the current mainline:
WRITE_ONCE(memcg->memory.emin, effective_protection(usage, parent_usage,
		READ_ONCE(memcg->memory.min),
		READ_ONCE(parent->memory.emin),
		atomic_long_read(&parent->memory.children_min_usage)));

WRITE_ONCE(memcg->memory.elow, effective_protection(usage, parent_usage,
		memcg->memory.low, READ_ONCE(parent->memory.elow),
		atomic_long_read(&parent->memory.children_low_usage)));

Is it possible that these hunks were lost during rebase/merge?

IMHO it should apply as:
