[PATCH v2 1/2] kernel/cgroup: use kernfs_create_dir_ns()

From: Max Kellermann
Date: Fri Dec 08 2023 - 04:33:19 EST


By passing the fsugid to kernfs_create_dir_ns(), we don't need
cgroup_kn_set_ugid() any longer. That function was added for exactly
this purpose by commit 49957f8e2a43 ("cgroup: newly created dirs and
files should be owned by the creator").

Eliminating this piece of duplicate code means we benefit from future
improvements to kernfs_create_dir_ns(); for example, both are lacking
S_ISGID support currently, which my next patch will add to
kernfs_create_dir_ns(). It cannot (easily) be added to
cgroup_kn_set_ugid() because we can't dereference struct kernfs_iattrs
from there.
