Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't freed before its children
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:32:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160121203215.GG5157@mtj.duckdns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160121203111.GF5157@mtj.duckdns.org>
There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free(). Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't use to guarantee the order of
invocation. css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent
css before its children. This behavior is unexpected and led to
use-after-free in cpu controller.
The previous patch updated ordering for css_offline() which fixes the
cpu controller issue. While there currently isn't a known bug caused
by misordering of css_free() invocations, let's fix it too for
consistency.
css_free() ordering can be trivially fixed by moving putting of the
parent css below css_free() invocation.
