  cgroup: Skip subtree root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses() (2022-07-28 07:26:30 -1000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Several core optimizations:

* threadgroup_rwsem write locking is skipped when configuring controllers in
  empty subtrees. Combined with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, this allows the common
  static usage pattern to not grab threadgroup_rwsem at all (glibc still
  doesn't seem ready for CLONE_INTO_CGROUP unfortunately).

* threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default due to
  latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason for everyone
  else to pay for it. Make the behavior optional.

* psi no longer allocates memory when disabled.

along with some code cleanups.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Chen Wandun (1):
      psi: dont alloc memory for psi by default

Lin Feng (2):
      cgroup.c: add helper __cset_cgroup_from_root to cleanup duplicated codes
      cgroup.c: remove redundant check for mixable cgroup in cgroup_migrate_vet_dst

Tejun Heo (4):
      cgroup: Elide write-locking threadgroup_rwsem when updating csses on an empty subtree
      cgroup: Add "no" prefixed mount options
      cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional
      cgroup: remove "no" prefixed mount options

Waiman Long (1):
      cgroup: Skip subtree root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses()
