From fe1c06ca7523baa668c1eaf1e1016fa64753c32e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:30:22 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: initialize cgrp->dentry before css_alloc() With this change, we're guaranteed that cgroup_path() won't see NULL cgrp->dentry, and thus we can remove the NULL check in it. (Well, it's not strictly true, because dummptop.dentry is always NULL but we already handle that separately.)
