This check "if (nr_opts > 1)" is nested under "if >>>> (opts->flags & CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR)".

Hence this change makes sure that we don't return EINVAL when >> nr_opts == 0 or nr_opts == 1 :) >> That way, both of the following are equivalent when inside non-init cgroupns: >> >> (1) $ mount -t cgroup -o __DEVEL__sane_behavior cgroup mountpoint >> (2) $ mount -t cgroup cgroup mountpoint >> >> Any other mount option will trigger the error here. > > I still don't get it. Can you walk me through why mount -o > some_other_option -t cgroup cgroup mountpoint causes -EINVAL? > Argh! You are right. I was totally convinced that this works. But it clearly doesn't if you specify 1 legit mount option. I wanted to make it work for both cases (1) and (2) above. But then this check will have to be changed :( Sorry about the back and forth. I am just going to make it return EINVAL if __DEVEL_sane_behavior is not specified as suggested in the beginning. > --Andy -- Aditya -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
