Subject: [GIT PULL] more cgroup fixes for v3.15-rc5
Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 15:28:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140513192814.GC28815@htj.dyndns.org> (raw)
Hello, Linus.
Three more patches to fix cgroup_freezer breakage due to the recent
cgroup internal locking changes - an operation cgroup_freezer was
using now requires sleepable context and cgroup_freezer was invoking
that while holding a spin lock. cgroup_freezer was using an overly
elaborate hierarchical locking scheme.
While it's possible to convert the hierarchical spinlocks directly to
mutexes, this patch simplifies the overall locking so that it uses a
global mutex. This has the added benefit of avoiding iterating
potentially huge number of tasks under a spinlock. While the patch is
on the larger side in the devel cycle, the changes made are mostly
straight-forward and the locking logic is a lot simpler afterwards.
The following changes since commit 36c38fb7144aa941dc072ba8f58b2dbe509c0345:
blkcg: use trylock on blkcg_pol_mutex in blkcg_reset_stats() (2014-05-05 13:48:18 -0400)
