[PATCH v2 2/5] blkcg: protect blkcg->policy_list

From: Glauber Costa <hidden>
Date: 2012-04-23 19:37:44
Also in: cgroups
Subsystem: block layer, control group - block io controller (blkio), the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Tejun Heo, Josef Bacik, Linus Torvalds

policy_list walks are protected with blkcg->lock everywhere else in the code.
In destroy(), they are not. Because destroy is usually protected with the
cgroup_mutex(), this is usually not a problem. But it would be a lot better
not to assume this.
