Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup changes for v4.4-rc1
Hello, Linus.
cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle.
* percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's rework
of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this merge window
resolves the issue.
* On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
* Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit until
released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from on
the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's a
good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the first
version which included the pids controller, will stay broken at
least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.
* Optimization of a couple common tests using static_key. This
replaces cgroup_on_dfl() with cgroup_subsys_on_dfl() and causes a
silent conflict in mm/vmscan.c which causes a build failure. -mm
has the updates but for now the following patch fixes the conflict.
