    cgroup: protect modifications to cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex · 0ab02ca8
    Li Zefan authored
    Setup cgroupfs like this:
      # mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup
      # mkdir /cgroup/sub1
      # mkdir /cgroup/sub2
    
    Then run these two commands:
      # for ((; ;)) { mkdir /cgroup/sub1/tmp && rmdir /mnt/sub1/tmp; } &
      # for ((; ;)) { mkdir /cgroup/sub2/tmp && rmdir /mnt/sub2/tmp; } &
    
    After seconds you may see this warning:

    It's because allocating/removing cgroup ID is not properly synchronized.
    
    The bug was introduced when we converted cgroup_ida to cgroup_idr.
    While synchronization is already done inside ida_simple_{get,remove}(),
    users are responsible for concurrent calls to idr_{alloc,remove}().
    
    tj: Refreshed on top of b58c8998 ("cgroup: fix error return from
    cgroup_create()").
    
    Fixes: 4e96ee8e ("cgroup: convert cgroup_ida to cgroup_idr")
