Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: call find_css_set() safely in cgroup_attach_task()
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:49:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49267637.1020404@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
in cgroup_attach_task(), tsk maybe exit when we call find_css_set().
and find_css_set() will access to invalid css_set.
this patch increase the count before get_css_set(), and decrease it
after find_css_set().
NOTICE:
css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount
may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held.
but I reviewed other code which use taskcount, they are still correct.
No regression found by reviewing and simply testing.
So I do not use two counters in css_set.
(one counter for taskcount, the other for refcount. like struct mm_struct)
If this fix cause regression, we will use two counters in css_set.
