From f4b3e631b39db31f7375cce0b5e4111d14cde511 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:13:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "kernfs: make kernfs_get_active() block if the node is deactivated but not removed" This reverts commit 895a068a524e134900b9d98b519309b7aae7bbb1. Tejun writes: I'm sorry but can you please revert the whole series? get_active() waiting while a node is deactivated has potential to lead to deadlock and that deactivate/reactivate interface is something fundamentally flawed and that cgroup will have to work with the remove_self() like everybody else. IOW, I think the first posting was correct. Cc: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-format-patch failed
