Subject: [PATCH] Containers: Fix refcount bug
Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:51:12 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070910215112.98B9B3D66CE@localhost> (raw)
Fix a reference counting bug in containerfs
As part of the extraction of cpusetfs to containerfs, a call to
cpuset_get_dentry() was lost (justified by the fact that the dentry in
question was now being passed down by the caller). Since
cpuset_get_dentry() called lookup_one_len(), this resulted in a
reference count being missed from the directory dentry.
This patch removes container_get_dentry() and replaces it with direct
calls to lookup_one_len(); the initialization of containerfs dentry
ops is done now in container_create_file() at dentry creation time.
