Subject: [GIT PULL] cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1
Hello, Linus.
cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in
this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the
addition of cgroup namespace support.
* The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where
controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those
places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes
the code fragile and difficult to follow.
Bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that most
related operations are performed through common helpers which
implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently) and
idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target state
rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand, verify
and extend.
* Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using
perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2 path
without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel
portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
still pending review.
* cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
certain environments.
* There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this
pull request w/ stable cc'd.
* Misc non-critical fixes and improvements.
Thanks.
