I'm not testing this. any concerns ?
==
In following situation, with memory subsystem,
/groupA use_hierarchy==1
/01 some tasks
/02 some tasks
/03 some tasks
/04 empty
When tasks under 01/02/03 hit limit on /groupA, hierarchical reclaim
routine is triggered and the kernel walks tree under groupA.
Then, rmdir /groupA/04 fails with -EBUSY frequently because of temporal
refcnt from internal kernel.
In general. cgroup can be rmdir'd if there are no children groups and
no tasks. Frequent fails of rmdir() is not useful to users.
(And the reason for -EBUSY is unknown to users.....in most cases)
This patch tries to modify above behavior, by
- retries if css_refcnt is got by someone.
- add "return value" to pre_destroy() and allows subsystem to
say "we're really busy!"
Changelog: v1 -> v2.
- added return value to pre_destroy().
- removed modification to cgroup_subsys.
- added signal_pending() check.
- added waitqueue and avoid busy spin loop.
