cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroup
105347ba ("cgroup: make cgroup_file_open() rcu_read_lock() around cgroup_css() and add cfent->css") added cfent->css to cache the associted cgroup_subsys_state across file operations. A cfent is associated with single css throughout its lifetime and the origimal commit initialized the cache pointer during cgroup_add_file() and verified that it matches the actual one in cgroup_file_open(). While this works fine for !root cgroups, it's broken for root cgroups as files in a root cgroup are created before the css's are associated with the cgroup and thus cgroup_css() call in cgroup_add_file() returns NULL associating all cfents in the root cgroup with NULL css. This makes cgroup_file_open() trigger WARN and fail with -ENODEV for all !core subsystem files in the root cgroups. There's no reason to initialize cfent->css separately from cgroup_add_file(). As the association never changes, cgroup_file_open() can set it unconditionally every time and containing the logic in cgroup_file_open() makes more sense anyway as the only reason it's necessary is file->private_data being already occupied. Fix it by setting cfent->css unconditionally from cgroup_file_open(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
