X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc4~65
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=24eb089950ce44603b30a3145a2c8520e2b55bb1;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

cgroups: fix invalid cgrp->dentry before cgroup has been completely removed

This fixes an oops when reading /proc/sched_debug.

A cgroup won't be removed completely until finishing cgroup_diput(), so we
shouldn't invalidate cgrp->dentry in cgroup_rmdir().  Otherwise, when a
group is being removed while cgroup_path() gets called, we may trigger
NULL dereference BUG.

The bug can be reproduced:

 # cat test.sh
 #!/bin/sh
 mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /mnt
 for (( ; ; ))
 {
	mkdir /mnt/sub
	rmdir /mnt/sub
 }
 # ./test.sh &
 # cat /proc/sched_debug
