[PATCH] selftests/cgroup: Fix cg_run_in_subcgroups ignoring arg parameter

From: Hongfu Li

Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 03:10:10 EST


From: Hongfu Li <lihongfu@xxxxxxxxxx>

cg_run_in_subcgroups() discards its arg and always passes NULL to cg_run(),
turning the (void *)100 from test_kmem_dead_cgroups() into NULL so no
allocation occurs.

This makes test_kmem_dead_cgroups() falsely pass without exercising the
"dying cgroup with charged slab" scenario it intends to test.

Pass the arg through to cg_run() to fix this.

Fixes: 933dc80ec262 ("kselftests: cgroup: add kernel memory accounting tests")
