test_memcg_sock() in the cgroup memcg tests, verifies expected memory accounting for sockets. The test forks a process which functions as a TCP server, and sends large buffers back and forth between itself (as the TCP client) and the forked TCP server. While doing so, it verifies that memory.current and memory.stat.sock look correct. There is currently a check in tcp_client() which asserts memory.current >= memory.stat.sock. This check is racy, as between memory.current and memory.stat.sock being queried, a packet could come in which causes mem_cgroup_charge_skmem() to be invoked. This could cause memory.stat.sock to exceed memory.current. Reversing the order of querying doesn't address the problem either, as memory may be reclaimed between the two calls. Instead, this patch just removes that assertion altogether, and instead relies on the values_close() check that follows to validate the expected accounting.

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.
