Subject: Revert "cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking"
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f9f9e7b77614;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Revert "cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking"

This reverts commit b5ba75b5fc0e8404e2c50cb68f39bb6a53fc916f.

d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc0e ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue.  For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.  They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.
