Subject: cgroups: misc cleanups to write_string patchset
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~387
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=84eea842886ac35020be6043e04748ed22014359;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

cgroups: misc cleanups to write_string patchset

This patch contains cleanups suggested by reviewers for the recent
write_string() patchset:

- pair cgroup_lock_live_group() with cgroup_unlock() in cgroup.c for
  clarity, rather than directly unlocking cgroup_mutex.

- make the return type of cgroup_lock_live_group() a bool

- use a #define'd constant for the local buffer size in read/write functions
