Subject: blk-cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in blkiocg_create()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc7~5^2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0341509fdfc9519f7de6aabc5dd23217cef72b73;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

blk-cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in blkiocg_create()

with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered:

  # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /mnt
  # mkdir /mnt/subgroup

...
kernel/cgroup.c:4442 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
...

To fix this, we avoid caling css_depth() here, which is a bit simpler
than the original code.
