[PATCH 0/2] cgroup: pids: fix invalid reference semantics

From: Aleksa Sarai
Date: Sun Aug 23 2015 - 09:13:54 EST


I've discovered a bug in the PIDs cgroup. We aren't properly dealing
with css references (we grab a reference to a css in ->can_attach() and
then drop a reference to a *different* css in ->{cancel_,}attach(). This
is a quick patch I wrote which I believe fixes the problem by getting
cgroup_migrate() to grab a reference before ->can_attach() and once the
attach has failed or succeded.

cgroup: get a ref to source csses when migrating
cgroup: pids: fix invalid get/put usage
