From d1897c9538edafd4ae6bbd03cc075962ddde2c21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 11:39:22 -0800 Subject: cgroup: fix rule checking for threaded mode switching A domain cgroup isn't allowed to be turned threaded if its subtree is populated or domain controllers are enabled. cgroup_enable_threaded() depended on cgroup_can_be_thread_root() test to enforce this rule. A parent which has populated domain descendants or have domain controllers enabled can't become a thread root, so the above rules are enforced automatically. However, for the root cgroup which can host mixed domain and threaded children, cgroup_can_be_thread_root() doesn't check any of those conditions and thus first level cgroups ends up escaping those rules. This patch fixes the bug by adding explicit checks for those rules in cgroup_enable_threaded().
