As result you can see "BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88040783a680 idx:1 val:-1" in dmesg There left only one problem: nobody calls sync_mm_rss() after put_user() in mm_release().
Both callers call sync_mm_rss() to make check_mm() happy. But please see the changelog, I think we should move it into mm_release(). See the patch below (on top of v2 I sent). I need to recheck. As for xacct_add_tsk(), yes it can "miss" that put_user(). But this is what we have now, I think we do not care. Oleg.
