Patch series "mm, memcg: cgroup v1 and v2 tunable load/store tearing fixes", v2. This patch series helps to prevent load/store tearing in several cgroup knobs. As kindly pointed out by Michal Hocko and Roman Gushchin , the changelog has been rephrased. Besides, more knobs were checked, according to kind suggestions from Shakeel Butt and Muchun Song. This patch (of 4): The knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group is not protected by any locking so it can be modified while it is used. This is not an actual problem because races are unlikely (the knob is usually configured long before any workloads hits actual memcg oom) but it is better to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to prevent compiler from doing anything funky. The access of memcg->oom_group is lockless, so it can be concurrently set at the same time as we are trying to read it.

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.
