The patch titled
cgroup: dont call vfs_mkdir
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
cgroup-dont-call-vfs_mkdir.patch
This patch was dropped because it's more controversial than was first thought, and it was sent off-list
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: cgroup: dont call vfs_mkdir
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>
cgroup_clone() calls vfs_mkdir() to create a directory in the cgroup
filesystem. Replace with explicit call to cgroup_mkdir() and
fsnotify_mkdir().
This is equivalent, except that the following functions are not called
before cgroup_mkdir():
- may_create()
- security_inode_mkdir()
- DQUOT_INIT()
Permission to clone the cgroup has already been checked in
copy_namespaces() (requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Additional file system
related capability checks are inappropriate and confusing.
The quota check is unnecessary, as quotas don't make any sense for
this filesystem.
