[RFC][PATCH 9/9 v2] memcg: never return error at pre_destroy()

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Fri Apr 27 2012 - 02:08:25 EST


When force_empty() called by ->pre_destroy(), no memory reclaim happens
and it doesn't take very long time which requires signal_pending() check.
And if we return -EINTR from pre_destroy(), cgroup.c show warning.

This patch removes signal check in force_empty(). By this, ->pre_destroy()
returns success always.

Note: check for 'cgroup is empty' remains for force_empty interface.
