From ddd69148bdc45e5e3e55bfde3571daecd5a96d75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:04:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: drop unnecessary RCU dancing from __put_css_set() __put_css_set() does RCU read access on @cgrp across dropping @cgrp->count so that it can continue accessing @cgrp even if the count reached zero and destruction of the cgroup commenced. Given that both sides - __css_put() and cgroup_destroy_locked() - are cold paths, this is unnecessary. Just making cgroup_destroy_locked() grab css_set_lock while checking @cgrp->count is enough. Remove the RCU read locking from __put_css_set() and make cgroup_destroy_locked() read-lock css_set_lock when checking @cgrp->count. This will also allow removing @cgrp->count.
