memcg, oom: lock mem_cgroup_print_oom_info mem_cgroup_print_oom_info uses a static buffer (memcg_name) to store the name of the cgroup. This is not safe as pointed out by David Rientjes because memcg oom is locked only for its hierarchy and nothing prevents another parallel hierarchy to trigger oom as well and overwrite the already in-use buffer. This patch introduces oom_info_lock hidden inside mem_cgroup_print_oom_info which is held throughout the function. It makes access to memcg_name safe and as a bonus it also prevents parallel memcg ooms to interleave their statistics which would make the printed data hard to analyze otherwise.
