cgroup: pids: use atomic64_t for pids->limit
commit a713af394cf382a30dd28a1015cbe572f1b9ca75 upstream. Because pids->limit can be changed concurrently (but we don't want to take a lock because it would be needlessly expensive), use atomic64_ts instead. Fixes: commit 49b786ea146f ("cgroup: implement the PIDs subsystem") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.3+ Signed-off-by: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
