Subject: [PATCH 3.4 12/91] cgroup: reject cgroup names with ' '

From: Alban Crequy <alban.crequy@...labora.co.uk>

3.4.105-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 71b1fb5c4473a5b1e601d41b109bdfe001ec82e0 upstream.

/proc/<pid>/cgroup contains one cgroup path on each line. If cgroup names are
allowed to contain "\n", applications cannot parse /proc/<pid>/cgroup safely.

[lizf: Backported to 3.4:
 - adjust context
 - s/name/dentry->d_name.name/]
