cgroups: misc cleanups to write_string patchset
This patch contains cleanups suggested by reviewers for the recent write_string() patchset: - pair cgroup_lock_live_group() with cgroup_unlock() in cgroup.c for clarity, rather than directly unlocking cgroup_mutex. - make the return type of cgroup_lock_live_group() a bool - use a #define'd constant for the local buffer size in read/write functions Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
