From: Tejun Heo Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2012 19:09:56 +0000 (-0700) Subject: cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=48ddbe1946;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references. If there are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries ->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is cancelled. This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal implementation details (references to internal data structure) with externally visible operation (rmdir). To userland, this is a behavior peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations, this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang). Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new behavior. This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set. Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old behavior as proposed in the following patch. Note that the following patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and __css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251 Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please get moving.
