Subject: [QUESTION]cgroup mount return -EBUSY

Hello

I encountered a problem when I try to unmount the subsystem right after
all it's subcgroups are removed, the cgroup_root would remain. Mounting
this subsystem to another cgroup_root would return -EBUSY.

The problem could be reproduced with the following script.

test.sh:

mkdir /tmp/test1
mount -t cgroup -o pids pids /tmp/test1
mkdir /tmp/test1/test
rmdir /tmp/test1/test
umount /tmp/test1
mkdir /tmp/test
mount -t cgroup -o pids,cpu none /tmp/test

test.sh should return this.
mount: mounting none on /tmp/test failed: Device or resource busy.

It seems that when unmounting /tmp/test1, the original cgroup_root for
this PID is not released.
/test # cat /proc/cgroups
