From bb78a92f47696b2da49f2692b6a9fa56d07c444a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:31:23 -0700 Subject: cgroup: fix rmdir EBUSY regression in 3.11 On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should have been removed. Here's a trivial reproducer: cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list. Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed: those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir. (I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.) tj: Flattened nested ifs a bit and updated comment so that it's correct on both for-3.11-fixes and for-3.12.
