From 77efecd9e0526327548152df715ab8644ecb5ba0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 18:07:39 -0800 Subject: cgroups: call find_css_set() safely in cgroup_attach_task() In cgroup_attach_task(), tsk maybe exit when we call find_css_set(). and find_css_set() will access to invalid css_set. This patch increases the count before get_css_set(), and decreases it after find_css_set(). NOTE: css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held. but I reviewed other code which use taskcount, they are still correct. No regression found by reviewing and simply testing. So I do not use two counters in css_set. (one counter for taskcount, the other for refcount. like struct mm_struct) If this fix cause regression, we will use two counters in css_set.
