    memcg: css_alloc should return an ERR_PTR value on error · ea3a9645
    Tejun Heo authored
    mem_cgroup_css_alloc() was returning NULL on failure while cgroup core
    expected it to return an ERR_PTR value leading to the following NULL
    deref after a css allocation failure.  Fix it by return
    ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) instead.  I'll also update cgroup core so that it
    can handle NULL returns.
