From d846687d7f84e45f23ecf3846dbb43312a1206dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Blum Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 16:25:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: use flex_array in attach_proc Convert cgroup_attach_proc to use flex_array. The cgroup_attach_proc implementation requires a pre-allocated array to store task pointers to atomically move a thread-group, but asking for a monolithic array with kmalloc() may be unreliable for very large groups. Using flex_array provides the same functionality with less risk of failure. This is a post-patch for cgroup-procs-write.patch. Signed-off-by: Ben Blum Cc: "Eric W.
