[RFC PATCH 2/3] cgroup: Rely on namespace_sem in current_cgns_cgroup_from_root explicitly

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

 



The function current_cgns_cgroup_from_root() expects a stable
cgroup_root, which is currently ensured with RCU read side paired with
cgroup_destroy_root() called after RCU period.

The particular current_cgns_cgroup_from_root() is called from VFS code
and cgroup_root stability can be also ensured by namespace_sem. Mark it
explicitly as a preparation for further rework.
