Bug 213646 – [GTK][WPE] Fix the matching of an empty value in getCgroupControllerPath() when only cgroupsV2 hierarchy is found

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Pablo Saavedra]

"[" (fscanf) Matches ONLY a nonempty sequence of characters from the specified set. This is good enough for cgroups version 1 but when you are in a pure cgroups version 2 environment probably you need to be able to parse the "0::/some_path" chain. This chain should be parseable by the scanf line but it is not due to the reason exposed early:

    int scanResult = fscanf(cgroupControllerFile, "%*u:%" STRINGIFY(CGROUP_NAME_BUFFER_SIZE) "[^:]:%" STRINGIFY(PATH_MAX) "[^\n]", name, path);


From cgroups man page:

    The colon-separated fields are, from left to right:

              1. For cgroups version 1 hierarchies, this field contains a
                 unique hierarchy ID number that can be matched to a hierar‐
                 chy ID in /proc/cgroups.  For the cgroups version 2 hierar‐
                 chy, this field contains the value 0.

              2. For cgroups version 1 hierarchies, this field contains a
                 comma-separated list of the controllers bound to the hier‐
                 archy.  For the cgroups version 2 hierarchy, this field is
                 empty.

              3. This field contains the pathname of the control group in
                 the hierarchy to which the process belongs.  This pathname
                 is relative to the mount point of the hierarchy.

You can remove this comment because the comparisong with
the CGROUP_V2_HIERARCHY constant in the line right above
is self-explanatory—which is why we like using constants
with meaningful names, of course :)
