cgroups: fix probable race with put_css_set[_taskexit] and find_css_set

2008-10-20T15:52:38Z

put_css_set_taskexit may be called when find_css_set is called on other cpu. And the race will occur: put_css_set_taskexit side find_css_set side | atomic_dec_and_test(&kref->refcount) | /* kref->refcount = 0 */ | .................................................................... | read_lock(&css_set_lock) | find_existing_css_set | get_css_set | read_unlock(&css_set_lock); .................................................................... __release_css_set | .................................................................... | /* use a released css_set */ | [put_css_set is the same. But in the current code, all put_css_set are put into cgroup mutex critical region as the same as find_css_set.] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: repair comments] [menage@google.com: eliminate race in css_set refcounting] Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Cc: Balbir Singh Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Signed-off-by: Paul Menage Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

CGroup API files: move "releasable" to cgroup_debug subsystem

2008-04-29T15:06:09Z

The "releasable" control file provided by the cgroup framework exports the state of a per-cgroup flag that's related to the notify-on-release feature. This isn't really generally useful, unless you're trying to debug this particular feature of cgroups. This patch moves the "releasable" file to the cgroup_debug subsystem.

CGroup API files: rename read/write_uint methods to read_write_u64

2008-04-29T15:06:07Z

Several people have justifiably complained that the "_uint" suffix is inappropriate for functions that handle u64 values, so this patch just renames all these functions and their users to have the suffic _u64.
