From 2019f634ce5904c19eba4e86f51b1a119a53a9f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 18:07:36 -0800 Subject: cgroups: fix cgroup_iter_next() bug We access res->cgroups without the task_lock(), so res->cgroups may be changed. it's unreliable, and "if (l == &res->cgroups->tasks)" may be false forever. We don't need add any lock for fixing this bug. we just access to struct css_set by struct cg_cgroup_link, not by struct task_struct. Since we hold css_set_lock, struct cg_cgroup_link is reliable.
