Subject: cgroup: avoid accessing modular cgroup subsys structure without locking
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d8e0bf56a66bab08d2f316dd87e56c08cecb899;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

cgroup: avoid accessing modular cgroup subsys structure without locking

subsys[i] is set to NULL in cgroup_unload_subsys() at modular unload,
and that's protected by cgroup_mutex, and then the memory *subsys[i]
resides will be freed.

So this is unsafe without any locking:

  if (!ss || ss->module)
  ...

v2:
- add a comment for enum cgroup_subsys_id
- simplify the comment in cgroup_exit()
