Subject: [PATCH 7/8] cgroup: fix an almost harmless off-by-one bug
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:52:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <513ED09F.2020906@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <513ED010.5060906@huawei.com>
The 3rd parameter of flex_array_prealloc() is the number of elements,
not the index of the last element.
The effect of the bug is, when opening cgroup.procs, a flex array will
be allocated and all elements of the array is allocated with GFP_KERNEL
flag, but the last one is GFP_ATOMIC, , and if we fail to allocate memory
for it, it'll trigger a BUG_ON().
