Paul Menage 307257cf47 cgroups: fix a race between rmdir and remount ... When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list, but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented). Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being removed-but-not-freed cgroup. The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups. This bug can be reproduced via: mkdir /mnt/cg mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg mkdir /mnt/cg/foo sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo & rmdir /mnt/cg/foo mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg kill $! Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops) Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>		2008-12-15 16:27:07 -08:00
