Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] cgroup: check cgroup liveliness before unbreaking kernfs
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2014 14:43:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54080A1A.7070207@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <540809FB.8020901@huawei.com>

When cgroup_kn_lock_live() is called through some kernfs operation and
another thread is calling cgroup_rmdir(), we'll trigger the warning in
cgroup_get().

------------[ cut here ]------------

Fix this by calling css_tryget() instead of cgroup_get().

v2:
- move cgroup_tryget() right below cgroup_get() definition. (Tejun)
