From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Tejun Heo Subject: [PATCH cgroup/for-3.11 1/3] cgroup: fix RCU accesses to task->cgroups Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 15:51:17 -0700 Message-ID: <20130621225116.GC3949@htj.dyndns.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: cgroups-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Li Zefan Cc: containers-cunTk1MwBs9QetFLy7KEm3xJsTq8ys+cHZ5vskTnxNA@public.gmane.org, cgroups-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, Fengguang Wu task->cgroups is a RCU pointer pointing to struct css_set. A task switches to a different css_set on cgroup migration but a css_set doesn't change once created and its pointers to cgroup_subsys_states aren't RCU protected. task_subsys_state[_check]() is the macro to acquire css given a task and subsys_id pair. It RCU-dereferences task->cgroups->subsys[] not task->cgroups, so the RCU pointer task->cgroups ends up being dereferenced without read_barrier_depends() after it. It's broken. Fix it by introducing task_css_set[_check]() which does RCU-dereference on task->cgroups. task_subsys_state[_check]() is reimplemented to directly dereference ->subsys[] of the css_set returned from task_css_set[_check](). This removes some of sparse RCU warnings in cgroup. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reported-by: Fengguang Wu Cc: stable-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org --- Hello, Three RCU fixe patches. The first one fixes an actual bug. The other two add missing annoations so that sparse doesn't generate spurious RCU address space warnings.
