Generally memcg charging is allowed from all the contexts including NMI
where even spinning on spinlock can cause locking issues. However one
call chain was missed during the addition of memcg charging from any
context support. That is try_charge_memcg() -> memcg_memory_event() ->
cgroup_file_notify().
The possible function call tree under cgroup_file_notify() can acquire
many different spin locks in spinning mode. Some of them are
cgroup_file_kn_lock, kernfs_notify_lock, pool_workqeue's lock. So, let's
just skip cgroup_file_notify() from memcg charging if the context does not
allow spinning.
Alternative approach was also explored where instead of skipping
cgroup_file_notify(), we defer the memcg event processing to irq_work [1].
However it adds complexity and it was decided to keep things simple until
we need more memcg events with !allow_spinning requirement.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
