[RFC PATCH-cgroup 5/6] cgroup: Skip dying css in cgroup_apply_control_{enable,disable}

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

 



While constantly turning on and off controllers, it is possible to
trigger the dying CSS warnings in cgroup_apply_control_enable() and
cgroup_apply_control_disable(). The current code, however, proceeds
after the warning leading to other secondary warnings and maybe even
data corruption, like

  cgroup: cgroup_addrm_files: failed to add current, err=-17

To avoid the secondary errors, the dying CSS is now ignored or skipped
so as not to cause other problem.
