If a new child cgroup is created in the frozen cgroup hierarchy
(one or more of ancestor cgroups is frozen), the CGRP_FREEZE cgroup
flag should be set. Otherwise if a process will be attached to the
child cgroup, it won't become frozen.
The problem can be reproduced with the test_cgfreezer_mkdir test.
This is the output before this patch:
~/test_freezer
ok 1 test_cgfreezer_simple
ok 2 test_cgfreezer_tree
ok 3 test_cgfreezer_forkbomb
Cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/cg_test_mkdir_A/cg_test_mkdir_B isn't frozen
not ok 4 test_cgfreezer_mkdir
ok 5 test_cgfreezer_rmdir
ok 6 test_cgfreezer_migrate
ok 7 test_cgfreezer_ptrace
ok 8 test_cgfreezer_stopped
ok 9 test_cgfreezer_ptraced
ok 10 test_cgfreezer_vfork
And with this patch:
~/test_freezer
ok 1 test_cgfreezer_simple
ok 2 test_cgfreezer_tree
ok 3 test_cgfreezer_forkbomb
ok 4 test_cgfreezer_mkdir
ok 5 test_cgfreezer_rmdir
ok 6 test_cgfreezer_migrate
ok 7 test_cgfreezer_ptrace
ok 8 test_cgfreezer_stopped
ok 9 test_cgfreezer_ptraced
ok 10 test_cgfreezer_vfork
