From 33c35aa4817864e056fd772230b0c6b552e36ea2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 09:34:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Prevent kill_css() from being called more than once The kill_css() function may be called more than once under the condition that the css was killed but not physically removed yet followed by the removal of the cgroup that is hosting the css. This patch prevents any harmm from being done when that happens.
