The ones who goes through lists and such, already use its own locking for those. * The cgroup itself won't go away until we free it, (after destroy) * The parent won't go away because we hold a reference count * There are no more tasks in the cgroup, and the cgroup is declared dead (cgroup_is_removed() == true) [v2: don't cgroup_lock the freezer and blkcg ] Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa CC: Tejun Heo CC: Li Zefan CC: Kamezawa Hiroyuki CC: Vivek Goyal --- kernel/cgroup.c | 9 ++++----- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/cgroup.c b/kernel/cgroup.c index 932c318..976d332 100644 --- a/kernel/cgroup.c +++ b/kernel/cgroup.c @@ -869,13 +869,13 @@ static void cgroup_diput(struct dentry *dentry, struct inode *inode) * agent */ synchronize_rcu(); - mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex); /* * Release the subsystem state objects. */ for_each_subsys(cgrp->root, ss) ss->destroy(cgrp); + mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex); cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups--; mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex); @@ -3994,13 +3994,12 @@ static long cgroup_create(struct cgroup *parent, struct dentry *dentry, err_destroy: + mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex); for_each_subsys(root, ss) { if (cgrp->subsys[ss->subsys_id]) ss->destroy(cgrp); } - mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex); - /* Release the reference count that we took on the superblock */ deactivate_super(sb); @@ -4349,9 +4348,9 @@ int __init_or_module cgroup_load_subsys(struct cgroup_subsys *ss) int ret = cgroup_init_idr(ss, css); if (ret) { dummytop->subsys[ss->subsys_id] = NULL; + mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex); ss->destroy(dummytop); subsys[i] = NULL; - mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex); return ret; } } @@ -4447,10 +4446,10 @@ void cgroup_unload_subsys(struct cgroup_subsys *ss) * pointer to find their state. note that this also takes care of * freeing the css_id. */ + mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex); ss->destroy(dummytop); dummytop->subsys[ss->subsys_id] = NULL; - mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cgroup_unload_subsys); -- 1.7.7.6
