From 4ab78683c17d739c2a2077141dcf81a02b7fb57e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:22:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: fix race between userspace and kernelspace Notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup directory to avoid race between userspace and kernelspace. eventfd are used to notify about two types of event: - control file-specific, like crossing memory threshold; - cgroup removing. To understand what really happen, userspace can check if the cgroup still exists. To avoid race beetween userspace and kernelspace we have to notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup directory. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
