This is the default option when no option is specified. (2) If we want to mount a cgroup with a subset of the supported cgroup subsystems, we have to specify a subsystems name list for the mount option. (3) If we specify another option like 'noprefix' or 'release_agent', the actual code wants the 'all' or a subsystem name option specified also. Not critical but a bit not friendly as we should assume (1) in this case. (4) Logically, the 'all' option is mutually exclusive with a subsystem name, but this is not detected. In other words: succeed : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup => is it 'all' or 'freezer' ? fails : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup => succeed if we do '-o noprefix,all' The following patches consolidate a bit the mount options check. New behavior: ============= (1) untouched (2) untouched (3) the 'all' option will be by default when specifying other than a subsystem name option (4) raises an error In other words: fails : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup succeed : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup For the sake of lisibility, the if ... then ... else ... if ... indentation when parsing the options has been changed to: if ... then ... continue fi Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Serge E.
