[PATCH 14/33] task-containersv11-basic-task-container-framework-containers-fix-refcount-bug

[Paul Menage]

Fix a reference counting bug in cgroupfs

As part of the extraction of cpusetfs to cgroupfs, a call to
cpuset_get_dentry() was lost (justified by the fact that the dentry in
question was now being passed down by the caller).  Since
cpuset_get_dentry() called lookup_one_len(), this resulted in a reference
count being missed from the directory dentry.

This patch removes cgroup_get_dentry() and replaces it with direct calls
to lookup_one_len(); the initialization of cgroupfs dentry ops is done
now in cgroup_create_file() at dentry creation time.
