From 7dbdb199d3bf88f043ea17e97113eb28d5b100bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:54:23 -0400 Subject: cgroup: replace cftype->mode with CFTYPE_WORLD_WRITABLE cftype->mode allows controllers to give arbitrary permissions to interface knobs. Except for "cgroup.event_control", the existing uses are spurious. * Some explicitly specify S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR even though that's the default. * "cpuset.memory_pressure" specifies S_IRUGO while also setting a write callback which returns -EACCES. All it needs to do is simply not setting a write callback. "cgroup.event_control" uses cftype->mode to make the file world-writable. It's a misdesigned interface and we don't want controllers to be tweaking interface file permissions in general. This patch removes cftype->mode and all its spurious uses and implements CFTYPE_WORLD_WRITABLE for "cgroup.event_control" which is marked as compatibility-only.
