From 96aa1b419d47286db446f292cf898bb1a8b27f24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ciju Rajan K Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:56:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] blkio: Fix return code for mkdir calls If the cgroup hierarchy for blkio control groups is deeper than two levels, kernel should not allow the creation of further levels. mkdir system call does not except EINVAL as a return value.
