[ Upstream commit9c02223e2d] Currently if the filesystem for the cgroups version it wants to use is not mounted charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh and hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh tests will attempt to mount it on the hard coded path /dev/cgroup/memory, deleting that directory when the test finishes. This will fail if there is not a preexisting directory at that path, and since the directory is deleted subsequent runs of the test will fail. Instead of relying on this hard coded directory name use mktemp to generate a temporary directory to use as a mountpoint, fixing both the assumption and the disruption caused by deleting a preexisting directory. This means that if the relevant cgroup filesystem is not already mounted then we rely on having coreutils (which provides mktemp) installed. I suspect that many current users are relying on having things automounted by default, and given that the script relies on bash it's probably not an unreasonable requirement.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
