| |
Try this, and you'll get oops immediately: # cd Documentation/accounting/ # gcc -o getdelays getdelays.c # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /mnt # ./getdelays -C /mnt/tasks
Because a normal file's dentry->d_fsdata is a pointer to struct cftype, not struct cgroup.
After the patch, it returns EINVAL if we try to get cgroupstats from a normal file.
