Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

Shakeel reported a crash in mem_cgroup_protected(), which can be triggered
by memcg reclaim if the legacy cgroup v1 use_hierarchy=0 mode is used:

RIP: 0033:0x485b72
The problem happens because parent_mem_cgroup() returns a NULL pointer,
which is dereferenced later without a check.
As cgroup v1 has no memory guarantee support, let's make
mem_cgroup_protected() immediately return MEMCG_PROT_NONE, if the given
cgroup has no parent (non-hierarchical mode is used).

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
