As it might be confusing to a user, let's return -ENOTSUPP on an attempt to access to memory.oom_group if groupoom is not enabled globally. Example: $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/ $ cat memory.oom_group cat: memory.oom_group: Unknown error 524 $ echo 1 > memory.oom_group -bash: echo: write error: Unknown error 524 $ mount -o remount,groupoom /sys/fs/cgroup $ echo 1 > memory.oom_group $ cat memory.oom_group 1 Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: kernel-team@xxxxxx Cc: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- mm/memcontrol.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/mm/memcontrol.c b/mm/memcontrol.c index c76d5fb55c5c..b709ee4f914b 100644 --- a/mm/memcontrol.c +++ b/mm/memcontrol.c @@ -5482,6 +5482,9 @@ static int memory_oom_group_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v) struct mem_cgroup *memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(seq_css(m)); bool oom_group = memcg->oom_group; + if (!(cgrp_dfl_root.flags & CGRP_GROUP_OOM)) + return -ENOTSUPP; + seq_printf(m, "%d\n", oom_group); return 0; @@ -5495,6 +5498,9 @@ static ssize_t memory_oom_group_write(struct kernfs_open_file *of, int oom_group; int err; + if (!(cgrp_dfl_root.flags & CGRP_GROUP_OOM)) + return -ENOTSUPP; + err = kstrtoint(strstrip(buf), 0, &oom_group); if (err) return err; -- 2.14.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
