cgroup: fix cgroup_create() error handling path
ae7f164 ("cgroup: move cgroup->subsys[] assignment to online_css()") moved cgroup->subsys[] assignements later in cgroup_create() but didn't update error handling path accordingly leading to the following oops and leaking later css's after an online_css() failure. The oops is from cgroup destruction path being invoked on the partially constructed cgroup which is not ready to handle empty slots in cgrp->subsys[] array. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffff810eeaa8>] cgroup_destroy_locked+0x118/0x2f0 PGD a780a067 PUD aadbe067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 6 PID: 7360 Comm: mkdir Not tainted 3.13.0-rc2+ torvalds#69 Hardware name: task: ffff8800b9dbec00 ti: ffff8800a781a000 task.ti: ffff8800a781a000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810eeaa8>] [<ffffffff810eeaa8>] cgroup_destroy_locked+0x118/0x2f0 RSP: 0018:ffff8800a781bd98 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: ffff880586903878 RBX: ffff880586903800 RCX: ffff880586903820 RDX: ffff880586903860 RSI: ffff8800a781bdb0 RDI: ffff880586903820 RBP: ffff8800a781bde8 R08: ffff88060e0b8048 R09: ffffffff811d7bc1 R10: 000000000000008c R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff8800a72286c0 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffffffff81cf7a40 R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f60ecda57a0(0000) GS:ffff8806272c0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000008 CR3: 00000000a7a03000 CR4: 00000000000007e0 Stack: ffff880586903860 ffff880586903910 ffff8800a72286c0 ffff880586903820 ffffffff81cf7a40 ffff880586903800 ffff88060e0b8018 ffffffff81cf7a40 ffff8800b9dbec00 ffff8800b9dbf098 ffff8800a781bec8 ffffffff810ef5bf Call Trace: [<ffffffff810ef5bf>] cgroup_mkdir+0x55f/0x5f0 [<ffffffff811c90ae>] vfs_mkdir+0xee/0x140 [<ffffffff811cb07e>] SyS_mkdirat+0x6e/0xf0 [<ffffffff811c6a19>] SyS_mkdir+0x19/0x20 [<ffffffff8169e569>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This patch moves reference bumping inside online_css() loop, clears css_ar[] as css's are brought online successfully, and updates err_destroy path so that either a css is fully online and destroyed by cgroup_destroy_locked() or the error path frees it. This creates a duplicate css free logic in the error path but it will be cleaned up soon. v2: Li pointed out that cgroup_destroy_locked() would do NULL-deref if invoked with a cgroup which doesn't have all css's populated. Update cgroup_destroy_locked() so that it skips NULL css's.
