When this line is missed and CONFIG_RSS_COUNTER is n the following warnings are produced: CC mm/memory.o mm/memory.c: In function ‘__do_fault’: mm/memory.c:2472: warning: ‘pcont’ is used uninitialized in this function mm/memory.c: In function ‘do_wp_page’: mm/memory.c:1788: warning: ‘pcont’ is used uninitialized in this function mm/memory.c: In function ‘__handle_mm_fault’: mm/memory.c:2317: warning: ‘pcont’ is used uninitialized in this function mm/memory.c:2253: warning: ‘pcont’ is used uninitialized in this function >> + return 0; >> +} >> >> ... >> >> +static int rss_populate(struct container_subsys *ss, >> + struct container *cont) >> +{ >> + int rc; >> + >> + if ((rc = container_add_file(cont, &rss_usage)) < 0) >> + return rc; >> + if ((rc = container_add_file(cont, &rss_failcnt)) < 0) >> + return rc; >> + if ((rc = container_add_file(cont, &rss_limit)) < 0) >> + return rc; >> + if ((rc = container_add_file(cont, &rss_reclaimed)) < 0) >> + return rc; > > If we fail partway through here, do the thus-far-created fiels get cleaned up? Yes. As far as I see from Paul's code when one of the files is failed to be created the whole container is cleaned up. >> + return 0; >> +} >> + >> +struct container_subsys rss_subsys = { >> + .name = "rss", >> + .subsys_id = rss_subsys_id, >> + .create = rss_create, >> + .destroy = rss_destroy, >> + .populate = rss_populate, >> + .attach = rss_move_task, >> + .early_init = 1, >> +}; > > Did this need kernel-wide scope? Yes. In include/linux/countainer_subsys.h we declared the SUBSYS(rss) that is expanded into "extern struct container_subsys rss_subsys;" in the kernel/container.c file. Further the pointer to it is injected into the array of subsystems (static struct container_subsys *subsys[]; at the top of the file). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
