Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] cgroup: refactor the cgroup_attach_lock code to make it clearer
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 14:59:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e1c56f0ac5826010dbbddf781641306a0cf666cd.1757486368.git.escape@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1757486368.git.escape@linux.alibaba.com>
Dynamic cgroup migration involving threadgroup locks can be in one of
two states: no lock held, or holding the global lock. Explicitly
declaring the different lock modes to make the code easier to
understand and facilitates future extensions of the lock modes.
