[PATCH v2 0/2] cgroup: fix psi monitor for root cgroup

[Odin Ugedal]

This patchset fixes PSI monitors on the root cgroup, as they currently
only works on the non-root cgroups. Reading works for all, since that
was fixed when adding support for the root PSI files. It also contains
a doc update to reflect the current implementation.

Changes since v1:
 - Added Reviewed-by tag on the original patch (Suren)
 - Updated patch title
 - Added a separate patch to update doc

[PATCH v2 1/2] cgroup: fix psi monitor for root cgroup

[Odin Ugedal]

Fix NULL pointer dereference when adding new psi monitor to the root
cgroup. PSI files for root cgroup was introduced in df5ba5be742 by using
system wide psi struct when reading, but file write/monitor was not
properly fixed. Since the PSI config for the root cgroup isn't
initialized, the current implementation tries to lock a NULL ptr,
resulting in a crash.

Can be triggered by running this as root:
$ tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.pressure <<< "some 10000 1000000"

Since this is a userspace-triggerable NULL ptr crash, we should
probably also

Could you please also change the 'read-only' to 'read-write'?

With that, please feel free to add:
