3.19.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alban Crequy <alban.crequy@xxxxxxxxx> commit 24ee3cf89bef04e8bc23788aca4e029a3f0f06d9 upstream. The comment says it's using trialcs->mems_allowed as a temp variable but it didn't match the code. Change the code to match the comment. This fixes an issue when writing in cpuset.mems when a sub-directory exists: we need to write several times for the information to persist: | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset# mkdir footest9 | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset# cd footest9 | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# mkdir aa | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems | | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > cpuset.mems | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems | | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > cpuset.mems | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat cpuset.mems | 0 | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat aa/cpuset.mems | | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# echo 0 > aa/cpuset.mems | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# cat aa/cpuset.mems | 0 | root@alban:/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/footest9# This should help to fix the following issue in Docker: https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/issues/133 In some conditions, a Docker container needs to be started twice in order to work.
