Hello, Linus. Two late fixes for cgroup. One fixes descendant walk introduced during this rc1 cycle. The other fixes a post 3.9 bug during task attach which can lead to hang. Both fixes are critical and the fixes are relatively straight-forward. The two fixes are available in the following branch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git for-3.12-fixes for you to fetch changes up to ea84753c98a7ac6b74e530b64c444a912b3835ca: cgroup: fix to break the while loop in cgroup_attach_task() correctly (2013-10-13 16:07:10 -0400) Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Anjana V Kumar (1): cgroup: fix to break the while loop in cgroup_attach_task() correctly Tejun Heo (1): cgroup: fix cgroup post-order descendant walk of empty subtree kernel/cgroup.c | 14 ++++++-------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/cgroup.c b/kernel/cgroup.c index e0aeb32..1bf4f7a1 100644 --- a/kernel/cgroup.c +++ b/kernel/cgroup.c @@ -2038,7 +2038,7 @@ static int cgroup_attach_task(struct cgroup *cgrp, struct task_struct *tsk, /* @tsk either already exited or can't exit until the end */ if (tsk->flags & PF_EXITING) - continue; + goto next; /* as per above, nr_threads may decrease, but not increase. */ BUG_ON(i >= group_size); @@ -2046,7 +2046,7 @@ static int cgroup_attach_task(struct cgroup *cgrp, struct task_struct *tsk, ent.cgrp = task_cgroup_from_root(tsk, root); /* nothing to do if this task is already in the cgroup */ if (ent.cgrp == cgrp) - continue; + goto next; /* * saying GFP_ATOMIC has no effect here because we did prealloc * earlier, but it's good form to communicate our expectations. @@ -2054,7 +2054,7 @@ static int cgroup_attach_task(struct cgroup *cgrp, struct task_struct *tsk, retval = flex_array_put(group, i, &ent, GFP_ATOMIC); BUG_ON(retval != 0); i++; - + next: if (!threadgroup) break; } while_each_thread(leader, tsk); @@ -3187,11 +3187,9 @@ css_next_descendant_post(struct cgroup_subsys_state *pos, WARN_ON_ONCE(!rcu_read_lock_held()); - /* if first iteration, visit the leftmost descendant */ - if (!pos) { - next = css_leftmost_descendant(root); - return next != root ? next : NULL; - } + /* if first iteration, visit leftmost descendant which may be @root */ + if (!pos) + return css_leftmost_descendant(root); /* if we visited @root, we're done */ if (pos == root) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
