From 7af608e4f9530372aec6e940552bf76595f2e265 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2017 17:57:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: create dfl_root files on subsys registration On subsystem registration, css_populate_dir() is not called on the new root css, so the interface files for the subsystem on cgrp_dfl_root aren't created on registration. This is a residue from the days when cgrp_dfl_root was used only as the parking spot for unused subsystems, which no longer is true as it's used as the root for cgroup2. This is often fine as later operations tend to create them as a part of mount (cgroup1) or subtree_control operations (cgroup2); however, it's not difficult to mount cgroup2 with the controller interface files missing as Waiman found out. Fix it by invoking css_populate_dir() on the root css on subsys registration.
