[patch 1/2] kernel: cgroup: push rcu read locking from css_is_ancestor() to callsite

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

 



Library functions should not grab locks when the callsites can do it,
even if the lock nests like the rcu read-side lock does.

Push the rcu_read_lock() from css_is_ancestor() to its single user,
mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree(), in preparation for another user that
already holds the rcu read-side lock.
