Subject: [PATCH -mm] a fixlet for cgroups-make-cgroup_path-rcu-safe.patch
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:24:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <494EEC36.8080602@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
With cgroups-make-cgroup_path-rcu-safe.patch applied, I can trigger
kernel panic easily using this test program:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt
mkdir /mnt/0
rmdir /mnt/0
umount /mnt
}
It's caused by the deactive_super() in rcu callback.
This patch restores the original code that call deactive_super() in
cgroup_diput().
Also remove duplicated comment in cgroup.h added by the patch.
