From 0cee8b7786467907e12d1d8f872e6dc73bc95204 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 12:10:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: fix offlining child waiting in cgroup_subtree_control_write() cgroup_subtree_control_write() waits for offline to complete child-by-child before enabling a controller; however, it has a couple bugs. * It doesn't initialize the wait_queue_t. This can lead to infinite hang on the following schedule() among other things. * It forgets to pin the child before releasing cgroup_tree_mutex and performing schedule(). The child may already be gone by the time it wakes up and invokes finish_wait(). Pin the child being waited on.
