SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/2] cgroups: Fix to return errno in a failure path
Quoting Li Zefan (lizf@cn.fujitsu.com):
> In cgroup_create(), if alloc_css_id() returns failure, the errno
> is not propagated to userspace, so mkdir will fail silently.
>
> To trigger this bug, we mount blkio (or memory subsystem), and
> create more then 65534 cgroups. (The number of cgroups is limited
> to 65535 if a subsystem has use_id == 1)
>
> # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /mnt
> # for ((i = 0; i < 65534; i++)); do mkdir /mnt/$i; done
> # mkdir /mnt/65534
> (should return ENOSPC)
