Does cgroup_rmdir do a cgroup_task_count check ? I do see that it check

task_count right ?

May be we need to push the task_count check also to rmdir so that
pre_destory doesn't need to check this

task_count implies cgroup refcnt which cgroup core does check.  No
need to worry about that, ->children or whatever from memcg.  As soon
as the deprecated behavior is gone, everything will be okay;
otherwise, it's a bug in cgroup core.


I'm sorry I misunderstand. The problem is following.

        CPU A                       CPU B
    mutex_unlock()
                                mutex_lock()
    ->pre_destroy()             attach task
      commit res->usage=0       mutex_unlock()
                                increase res->usage
                                detach task
    mutex_lock()
    check css's refcount=0
     ....continue destroy.

Now, I thinks memcg's check is not enough but putting the -EBUSY there
not to forget this race.


I think a patch to stop task-attach and create child cgroup if  CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR
is set is required. And that's enough..
Thanks,
