From 1fe4d021acbc356723818a633fe0a10c59c2a4c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:26:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: fix idr leak for the first cgroup root The valid cgroup hierarchy ID range includes 0, so we can't filter for positive numbers when freeing it, or it'll leak the first ID. No big deal, just disruptive when reading the code. The ID is freed during error handling and when the reference count hits zero, so the double-free test is not necessary; remove it.
