[PATCH 0/3] Fix problem with static_key decrement

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This is my proposed fix for the sock memcg static_key
problem raised by Kamezawa. It works for me, but I would
Kame, please confirm.

For that to work, I am dependent on two cgroup patches
that goes attached. The rationale behind it, is that we
can't do static_key updates with the cgroup_mutex held,
or we risk deadlocking.

Looking closely, there seem to be no particular reason
to hold the cgroup_mutex during destruction. Subsystems
that really need it, can hold it themselves.

Tejun, let me know if this is acceptable from your PoV.

Glauber Costa (3):
  don't attach a task to a dead cgroup
  don't take cgroup_mutex in destroy()
  decrement static keys on real destroy time
