From e756c7b698604f11a979f2781d06eb7b80aba363 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zefan Li Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:03:25 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "cgroup: remove redundant variable in cgroup_mount()" This reverts commit 0c7bf3e8cab7900e17ce7f97104c39927d835469. If there are child cgroups in the cgroupfs and then we umount it, the superblock will be destroyed but the cgroup_root will be kept around. When we mount it again, cgroup_mount() will find this cgroup_root and allocate a new sb for it. So with this commit we will be trapped in a dead loop in the case described above, because kernfs_pin_sb() keeps returning NULL. Currently I don't see how we can avoid using both pinned_sb and new_sb, so just revert it.
