[PATCH v2 4/5] don't take cgroup_mutex in destroy()

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

 



Most of the destroy functions are only doing very simple things
like freeing memory.

The ones who goes through lists and such, already use its own
locking for those.

* The cgroup itself won't go away until we free it, (after destroy)
* The parent won't go away because we hold a reference count
* There are no more tasks in the cgroup, and the cgroup is declared
  dead (cgroup_is_removed() == true)

[v2: don't cgroup_lock the freezer and blkcg ]
