[RFC PATCH v2 07/17] cgroup: Prevent kill_css() from being called more than once

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

 



The kill_css() function may be called more than once under the condition
that the css was killed but not physically removed yet followed by the
removal of the cgroup that is hosting the css. This patch prevents any
harmm from being done when that happens.
