Commit 2f5177f0fd7e ("sched/cgroup: Fix/cleanup cgroup teardown/init") moved
sched_online_group() from css_online() to css_alloc(). It exposes half-baked
task group into global lists before initializing generic cgroup stuff.

LTP testcase (third in cgroup_regression_test) written for testing
similar race in kernels 2.6.26-2.6.28 easily triggers this oops:


So nobody's run LTP against the kernel for almost a year?

Yep. Nobody runs LTP =)

CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED must be y (which almost impossible to use IRL, I have some patches for it out of tree)

Also systemd by default binds cgroups cpu and cpuacct together - this breaks testcase.



Here task group already linked into global RCU-protected list task_groups
but pointer css->cgroup is still NULL.

This patch reverts this chunk and moves online back to css_online().

Maybe put a comment with it that explains why this is needed?

Something along the lines of this perhaps?


Actually online is called before complete initialization. See second patch. =)
I don't know what to do with this. cgroups are messy as always.

/*
 * Don't expose the cgroup until initialization of it is complete in the

 */

+static int cpu_cgroup_css_online(struct cgroup_subsys_state *css)
+{
+	struct task_group *tg = css_tg(css);
+	struct task_group *parent = css_tg(css->parent);
+
+	if (parent)
+		sched_online_group(tg, parent);
+	return 0;
+}
