From 16ff3cd8df6169f73e3d7cf00758a4703f62cbf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2018 13:32:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] check whether /sys/fs/cgroup is a mountpoint The current check only tries to detect whether /sys/fs/cgroup exists and whether it is writable or not. But when the init system doesn't mount cgroups then /sys/fs/cgroup will just be an empty directory. When paired with unprivileged containers that mount sysfs this will cause misleading errors to be printed since /sys/fs/cgroup will be owned by user nobody:nogroup in this case. Independent of this specific problem this check will also be misleading when the /sys/fs/cgroup exists and is in fact writable by the init system but isn't actually a mountpoint. Note from William. "grep -qs" doesn't need to redirect output to /dev/null since it is completely silent. This fixes #209. --- sh/openrc-run.sh.in | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/sh/openrc-run.sh.in b/sh/openrc-run.sh.in index 95d0ecab..e3dff6ce 100644 --- a/sh/openrc-run.sh.in +++ b/sh/openrc-run.sh.in @@ -260,9 +260,12 @@ for _cmd; do # Apply cgroups settings if defined if [ "$(command -v cgroup_add_service)" = "cgroup_add_service" ] then - if [ -d /sys/fs/cgroup -a ! -w /sys/fs/cgroup ]; then - eerror "No permission to apply cgroup settings" - break + if grep -qs /sys/fs/cgroup /proc/1/mountinfo + then + if [ -d /sys/fs/cgroup -a ! -w /sys/fs/cgroup ]; then + eerror "No permission to apply cgroup settings" + break + fi fi cgroup_add_service fi
