[PATCH v3 2/6] memcg: root_cgroup cannot reach mem_cgroup_move_parent

From: Michal Hocko <hidden>
Date: 2012-10-26 11:38:09
Also in: cgroups, lkml
Subsystem: control group - memory resource controller (memcg), memory management, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Weiner, Michal Hocko, Roman Gushchin, Shakeel Butt, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

The root cgroup cannot be destroyed so we never hit it down the
mem_cgroup_pre_destroy path and mem_cgroup_force_empty_write shouldn't
even try to do anything if called for the root.

This means that mem_cgroup_move_parent doesn't have to bother with the
root cgroup and it can assume it can always move charges upwards.
