[PATCH v5 2/3] cgroups: add can_attach callback for checking all threads in a group

Tue Aug 10 22:48:14 PDT 2010


Add cgroup wrapper for safely calling can_attach on all threads in a threadgroup

From: Ben Blum <bblum at andrew.cmu.edu>

This patch adds a function cgroup_can_attach_per_thread which handles iterating
over each thread in a threadgroup safely with respect to the invariants that
will be used in cgroup_attach_proc. Also, subsystems whose can_attach calls
require per-thread validation are modified to use the per_thread wrapper to
avoid duplicating cgroup-internal code.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.
