[ 076/102] cgroup: fix umount vs cgroup_cfts_commit() race

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Aug 08 2013 - 22:07:00 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Li Zefan <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 084457f284abf6789d90509ee11dae383842b23b upstream.

cgroup_cfts_commit() uses dget() to keep cgroup alive after cgroup_mutex
is dropped, but dget() won't prevent cgroupfs from being umounted. When
the race happens, vfs will see some dentries with non-zero refcnt while
umount is in process.

Keep running this:
mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup
umount /cgroup

And this:
modprobe cfq-iosched
rmmod cfs-iosched

After a while, the BUG() in shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() may
be triggered:

BUG: Dentry xxx{i=0,n=blkio.yyy} still in use (1) [umount of cgroup cgroup]
