We used to have per-cpu memcg and lruvec stats and the readers have to traverse and sum the stats from each cpu. This summing was racy and may expose transient negative values. So, an explicit check was added to avoid such scenarios. Now these stats are moved to rstat infrastructure and are no more per-cpu, so we can remove the fixup for transient negative values.

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 Restructured Text 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.
