[PATCH 2/2] devcgroup: fix permission check when adding entry tochild cgroup

From: Li Zefan
Date: Sat Jul 05 2008 - 01:41:42 EST


# cat devices.list
c 1:3 r
# echo 'c 1:3 w' > sub/devices.allow
# cat sub/devices.list
c 1:3 w

As illustrated, the parent group has no write permission to /dev/null,
so its child should not be allowed to add this write permission,
which is documented in Documentation/controllers/devices.txt.
