cgroup: Fix incorrect WARN_ON_ONCE() in css_release_work_fn()
It turns out that the WARN_ON_ONCE() call in css_release_work_fn introduced by commit ab0312526867 ("cgroup: Show # of subsystem CSSes in cgroup.stat") is incorrect. Although css->nr_descendants must be 0 when a css is released and ready to be freed, the corresponding cgrp->nr_dying_subsys[ss->id] may not be 0 if a subsystem is activated and deactivated multiple times with one or more of its previous activation leaving behind dying csses. Fix the incorrect warning by removing the cgrp->nr_dying_subsys check. Fixes: ab0312526867 ("cgroup: Show # of subsystem CSSes in cgroup.stat") Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/cgroups/6f301773-2fce-4602-a391-8af7ef00b2fb@redhat.com/T/#t Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
