[PATCH 3.13 078/172] cgroup: fix error return value in cgroup_mount()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 04 2014 - 16:19:59 EST


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

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

From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eb46bf89696972b856a9adb6aebd5c7b65c266e4 upstream.

When cgroup_mount() fails to allocate an id for the root, it didn't
set ret before jumping to unlock_drop ending up returning 0 after a
failure. Fix it.
