The patch titled
Control Groups: Fix refcount bug
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
task-containersv11-add-container_clone-interface-containers-fix-refcount-bug.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into task-containersv11-add-container_clone-interface.patch
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Control Groups: Fix refcount bug
From: Paul Menage <menage@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fix a reference counting bug in cgroupfs
As part of the extraction of cpusetfs to cgroupfs, a call to
cpuset_get_dentry() was lost (justified by the fact that the dentry in
question was now being passed down by the caller). Since
cpuset_get_dentry() called lookup_one_len(), this resulted in a
reference count being missed from the directory dentry.
This patch removes cgroup_get_dentry() and replaces it with direct
calls to lookup_one_len(); the initialization of cgroupfs dentry
ops is done now in cgroup_create_file() at dentry creation time.
