Previously, each file read/write operation relied on the inode
reference count pinning the cgroup and simply checked whether the
cgroup was marked dead before proceeding to invoke the per-subsystem
callback. This was rather silly as it didn't have any synchronization
or css pinning around the check and the cgroup may be removed and all
css refs drained between the DEAD check and actual method invocation.
This patch pins the css between open() and release() so that it is
guaranteed to be alive for all file operations and remove the silly
DEAD checks from cgroup_file_read/write().

cgroup is transitioning to using css (cgroup_subsys_state) instead of
cgroup as the primary subsystem handle. The cgroupfs file interface
will be converted to use css's which requires finding out the
subsystem from cftype so that the matching css can be determined from
the cgroup.
This patch adds cftype->ss which points to the subsystem the file
belongs to. The field is initialized while a cftype is being
registered. This makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
subsystem for other cftype handling functions. @ss argument dropped
from various cftype handling functions.
This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior differences.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.
* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
which is different from the current state where all css's are
allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This
in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.
* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
being performed for.
* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods
often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits
much better.
This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few
noteworthy changes are
* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
subsystems.
* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
dereference is replaced with local variable access.
This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.
v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.
Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too. Suggested
by Li Zefan.

Currently, given a cgroup_subsys_state, there's no way to find out

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -

The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename

Module ref handling in cgroup is rather weird.
parse_cgroupfs_options() grabs all the modules for the specified
subsystems. A module ref is kept if the specified subsystem is newly
bound to the hierarchy. If not, or the operation fails, the refs are
dropped. This scatters module ref handling across multiple functions
making it difficult to track. It also make the function nasty to use
for dynamic subsystem binding which is necessary for the planned
unified hierarchy.
There's nothing which requires the subsystem modules to be pinned
between parse_cgroupfs_options() and rebind_subsystems() in both mount
and remount paths. parse_cgroupfs_options() can just parse and
rebind_subsystems() can handle pinning the subsystems that it wants to
bind, which is a natural part of its task - binding - anyway.
Move module ref handling into rebind_subsystems() which makes the code
a lot simpler - modules are gotten iff it's gonna be bound and put iff
unbound or binding fails.
v2: Li pointed out that if a controller module is unloaded between
parsing and binding, rebind_subsystems() won't notice the missing
controller as it only iterates through existing controllers. Fix
it by updating rebind_subsystems() to compare @added_mask to
@pinned and fail with -ENOENT if they don't match.

Currently, creating and removing cgroup files in the root directory
are handled separately from the actual subsystem binding and unbinding
which happens in rebind_subsystems(). Also, rebind_subsystems() users
aren't handling file creation errors properly. Let's integrate
top_cgroup file handling into rebind_subsystems() so that it's simpler
to use and everyone handles file creation errors correctly.
* On a successful return, rebind_subsystems() is guaranteed to have
created all files of the new subsystems and deleted the ones
belonging to the removed subsystems. After a failure, no file is
created or removed.
* cgroup_remount() no longer needs to make explicit populate/clear
calls as it's all handled by rebind_subsystems(), and it gets proper
error handling automatically.
* cgroup_mount() has been updated such that the root dentry and cgroup
are linked before rebind_subsystems(). Also, the init_cred dancing
and base file handling are moved right above rebind_subsystems()
call and proper error handling for the base files is added. While
at it, add a comment explaining what's going on with the cred thing.
* cgroup_kill_sb() calls rebind_subsystems() to unbind all subsystems
which now implies removing all subsystem files which requires the
directory's i_mutex. Grab it. This means that files on the root
cgroup are removed earlier - they used to be deleted from generic
super_block cleanup from vfs. This doesn't lead to any functional
difference and it's cleaner to do the clean up explicitly for all
files.
Combined with the previous changes, this makes all cgroup file
creation errors handled correctly.

cgroup_populate/clear_dir() currently take @base_files and adds and

This patch moves base file handling out of cgroup_populate/clear_dir()

cgroup_destroy_locked().
Note that this changes the behavior of base file removal. If
@base_files is %true, cgroup_clear_dir() used to delete files
regardless of cftype until there's no files left. Now, only files
with matching cfts are removed. As files can only be created by the

After a while, the BUG() in shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() may
be triggered:

cgroup's rename(2) isn't a proper migration implementation - it can't
move the cgroup to a different parent in the hierarchy. All it can do
is swapping the name string for that cgroup. This isn't useful and
can mislead users to think that cgroup supports proper cgroup-level
migration. Disallow rename(2) if sane_behavior.
v2: Fail with -EPERM instead of -EINVAL so that it matches the vfs
return value when ->rename is not implemented as suggested by Li.

A css (cgroup_subsys_state) is how each cgroup is represented to a
controller. As such, it can be used in hot paths across the various
subsystems different controllers are associated with.
One of the common operations is reference counting, which up until now
has been implemented using a global atomic counter and can have
significant adverse impact on scalability. For example, css refcnt
can be gotten and put multiple times by blkcg for each IO request.
For highops configurations which try to do as much per-cpu as
possible, the global frequent refcnting can be very expensive.
In general, given the various and hugely diverse paths css's end up
being used from, we need to make it cheap and highly scalable. In its
usage, css refcnting isn't very different from module refcnting.
This patch converts css refcnting to use the recently added
percpu_ref. css_get/tryget/put() directly maps to the matching
percpu_ref operations and the deactivation logic is no longer
necessary as percpu_ref already has refcnt killing.
The only complication is that as the refcnt is per-cpu,
percpu_ref_kill() in itself doesn't ensure that further tryget
operations will fail, which we need to guarantee before invoking
->css_offline()'s. This is resolved collecting kill confirmation
using percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and initiating the offline phase
of destruction after all css refcnt's are confirmed to be seen as
killed on all CPUs. The previous patches already splitted destruction
into two phases, so percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() can be hooked up
easily.
This patch removes css_refcnt() which is used for rcu dereference
sanity check in css_id(). While we can add a percpu refcnt API to ask
the same question, css_id() itself is scheduled to be removed fairly
soon, so let's not bother with it. Just drop the sanity check and use
rcu_dereference_raw() instead.
v2: - init_cgroup_css() was calling percpu_ref_init() without checking
the return value. This causes two problems - the obvious lack
of error handling and percpu_ref_init() being called from
cgroup_init_subsys() before the allocators are up, which
triggers warnings but doesn't cause actual problems as the
refcnt isn't used for roots anyway. Fix both by moving
percpu_ref_init() to cgroup_create().
- The base references were put too early by
percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and cgroup_offline_fn() put the
refs one extra time. This wasn't noticeable because css's go
through another RCU grace period before being freed. Update
cgroup_destroy_locked() to grab an extra reference before
killing the refcnts. This problem was noticed by Kent.

Split cgroup_destroy_locked() into two steps and put the latter half
into cgroup_offline_fn() which is executed from a work item. The
latter half is responsible for offlining the css's, removing the
cgroup from internal lists, and propagating release notification to
the parent. The separation is to allow using percpu refcnt for css.
Note that this allows for other cgroup operations to happen between
the first and second halves of destruction, including creating a new
cgroup with the same name. As the target cgroup is marked DEAD in the
first half and cgroup internals don't care about the names of cgroups,
this should be fine. A comment explaining this will be added by the
next patch which implements the actual percpu refcnting.
As RCU freeing is guaranteed to happen after the second step of
destruction, we can use the same work item for both. This patch
renames cgroup->free_work to ->destroy_work and uses it for both
purposes. INIT_WORK() is now performed right before queueing the work
item.

This patch reorders the operations in cgroup_destroy_locked() such
that the userland visible parts happen before css offlining and
removal from the ->sibling list. This will be used to make css use
percpu refcnt.
While at it, split out CGRP_DEAD related comment from the refcnt
deactivation one and correct / clarify how different guarantees are
met.
While this patch changes the specific order of operations, it
shouldn't cause any noticeable behavior difference.
