From 532de3fc72adc2a6525c4d53c07bf81e1732083d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 13:29:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: update cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() to grab siglock Currently, there's nothing preventing cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() from missing set PF_EXITING and race against cgroup_exit(). Depending on the timing, cgroup_exit() may finish with the task still linked on css_set leading to list corruption. Fix it by grabbing siglock in cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() so that PF_EXITING is guaranteed to be visible. This whole on-demand cg_list optimization is extremely fragile and has ample possibility to lead to bugs which can cause things like once-a-year oops during boot. I'm wondering whether the better approach would be just adding "cgroup_disable=all" handling which disables the whole cgroup rather than tempting fate with this on-demand craziness.
