[ 058/136 ] cgroup: fix an off-by-one bug which may trigger BUG_ON()
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri May 17 2013 - 23:00:55 EST
3.6.11.4 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Li Zefan <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 3ac1707a13a3da9cfc8f242a15b2fae6df2c5f88 ]
The 3rd parameter of flex_array_prealloc() is the number of elements,
not the index of the last element.
The effect of the bug is, when opening cgroup.procs, a flex array will
be allocated and all elements of the array is allocated with
GFP_KERNEL flag, but the last one is GFP_ATOMIC, and if we fail to
allocate memory for it, it'll trigger a BUG_ON().
