Currently, while migrating tasks from one cgroup to another,
cgroup_attach_task() builds a flex array of all target tasks;
unfortunately, this has a couple issues.

* Flex array has size limit.  On 64bit, struct task_and_cgroup is
  24bytes making the flex element limit around 87k.  It is a high
  number but not impossible to hit.  This means that the current
  cgroup implementation can't migrate a process with more than 87k
  threads.

* Process migration involves memory allocation whose size is dependent
  on the number of threads the process has.  This means that cgroup
  core can't guarantee success or failure of multi-process migrations
  as memory allocation failure can happen in the middle.  This is in
  part because cgroup can't grab threadgroup locks of multiple
  processes at the same time, so when there are multiple processes to
  migrate, it is imposible to tell how many tasks are to be migrated
  beforehand.

  Note that this already affects cgroup_transfer_tasks().  cgroup
  currently cannot guarantee atomic success or failure of the
  operation.  It may fail in the middle and after such failure cgroup
  doesn't have enough information to roll back properly.  It just
  aborts with some tasks migrated and others not.

To resolve the situation, this patch updates the migration path to use
task->cg_list to track target tasks.  The previous patch already added
css_set->mg_tasks and updated iterations in non-migration paths to
include them during task migration.  This patch updates migration path
to actually make use of it.

Instead of putting onto a flex_array, each target task is moved from
its css_set->tasks list to css_set->mg_tasks and the migration path
keeps trace of all the source css_sets and the associated cgroups.
Once all source css_sets are determined, the destination css_set for
each is determined, linked to the matching source css_set and put on a
separate list.

To iterate the target tasks, migration path just needs to iterat
through either the source or target css_sets, depending on whether
migration has been committed or not, and the tasks on their ->mg_tasks
lists.  cgroup_taskset is updated to contain the list_heads for source
and target css_sets and the iteration cursor.  cgroup_taskset_*() are
accordingly updated to walk through css_sets and their ->mg_tasks.

This resolves the above listed issues with moderate additional
complexity.

To resolve the situation, we're going to use task->cg_list during
migration too.  Instead of building a separate array, target tasks
will be linked into a dedicated migration list_head on the owning
css_set.  Tasks on the migration list are treated the same as tasks on
the usual tasks list; however, being on a separate list allows cgroup
migration code path to keep track of the target tasks by simply
keeping the list of css_sets with tasks being migrated, making
unpredictable dynamic allocation unnecessary.

In prepartion of such migration path update, this patch introduces
css_set->mg_tasks list and updates css_set task iterations so that
they walk both css_set->tasks and ->mg_tasks.  Note that ->mg_tasks
isn't used yet.

Currently, there's nothing preventing cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists()
from missing set PF_EXITING and race against cgroup_exit().  Depending
on the timing, cgroup_exit() may finish with the task still linked on
css_set leading to list corruption.  Fix it by grabbing siglock in
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() so that PF_EXITING is guaranteed to be
visible.

This whole on-demand cg_list optimization is extremely fragile and has
ample possibility to lead to bugs which can cause things like
once-a-year oops during boot.  I'm wondering whether the better
approach would be just adding "cgroup_disable=all" handling which
disables the whole cgroup rather than tempting fate with this

Currently there are two ways to walk tasks of a cgroup -
css_task_iter_start/next/end() and css_scan_tasks().  The latter
builds on the former but allows blocking while iterating.
Unfortunately, the way css_scan_tasks() is implemented is rather
nasty, it uses a priority heap of pointers to extract some number of
tasks in task creation order and loops over them invoking the callback
and repeats that until it reaches the end.  It requires either
preallocated heap or may fail under memory pressure, while unlikely to
be problematic, the complexity is O(N^2), and in general just nasty.

We're gonna convert all css_scan_users() to
css_task_iter_start/next/end() and remove css_scan_users().  As
css_scan_tasks() users may block, let's convert css_set_lock to a
rwsem so that tasks can block during css_task_iter_*() is in progress.

While this does increase the chance of possible deadlock scenarios,
given the current usage, the probability is relatively low, and even
if that happens, the right thing to do is updating the iteration in
the similar way to css iterators so that it can handle blocking.

Most conversions are trivial; however, task_cgroup_path() now expects
to be called with css_set_rwsem locked instead of locking itself.
This is because the function is called with RCU read lock held and
rwsem locking should nest outside RCU read lock.

Tasks are not linked on their css_sets until cgroup task iteration is
actually used.  This is to avoid incurring overhead on the fork and
exit paths for systems which have cgroup compiled in but don't use it.
     
This lazy binding also affects the task migration path.  It has to be
careful so that it doesn't link tasks to css_sets when task_cg_lists
linking is not enabled yet.  Unfortunately, this conditional linking
in the migration path interferes with planned migration updates.

This patch moves the lazy binding a bit earlier, to the first cgroup
mount.  It's a clear indication that cgroup is being used on the
system and task_cg_lists linking is highly likely to be enabled soon
anyway through "tasks" and "cgroup.procs" files.

This allows cgroup_task_migrate() to always link @tsk->cg_list.  Note
that it may still race with cgroup_post_fork() but who wins that race
is inconsequential.

While at it, make use_task_css_set_links a bool, add sanity checks in
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() and css_task_iter_start(), and update
the former so that it's guaranteed and assumes to run only once.

Before kernfs conversion, due to the way super_block lookup works,
cgroup roots were created and made visible before being fully
initialized.  This in turn required a special flag to mark that the
root hasn't been fully initialized so that the destruction path can
tell fully bound ones from half initialized.

That flag is CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND and no longer necessary after the
kernfs conversion as the lookup and creation of new root are atomic
w.r.t. cgroup_mutex.  This patch removes the flag and passes the

Explanation from Hugh:

  It's because more thorough testing, by others here, found that it
  wasn't always solving the problem: so I asked Tejun privately to
  hold off from sending it in, until we'd worked out why not.

  Most of our testing being on a v3,11-based kernel, it was perfectly
  possible that the problem was merely our own e.g. missing Tejun's
  8a2b7538 ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups").

  But that turned out not to be enough to fix it either. Then Filipe
  pointed out how percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() uses call_rcu_sched()
  before we ever get to put the offline on to the workqueue: by the
  time we get to the workqueue, the ordering has already been lost.

  So, thanks for the Acks, but I'm afraid that this ordered workqueue
  solution is just not good enough: we should simply forget that patch
  and provide a different answer."

root->number_of_cgroups is currently an integer protected with
cgroup_mutex.  Except for sanity checks and proc reporting, the only
place it's used is to check whether the root has any child during
remount; however, this is a bit flawed as the counter is not
decremented when the cgroup is unlinked but when it's released,
meaning that there could be an extended period where all cgroups are
removed but remount is still not allowed because some internal objects
are lingering.  While not perfect either, it'd be better to use
emptiness test on root->top_cgroup.children.

This patch updates cgroup_remount() to test top_cgroup's children
instead, which makes number_of_cgroups only actual usage statistics
printing in proc implemented in proc_cgroupstats_show().  Let's

cgroup filesystem code was derived from the original sysfs
implementation which was heavily intertwined with vfs objects and
locking with the goal of re-using the existing vfs infrastructure.
That experiment turned out rather disastrous and sysfs switched, a
long time ago, to distributed filesystem model where a separate
representation is maintained which is queried by vfs.  Unfortunately,
cgroup stuck with the failed experiment all these years and
accumulated even more problems over time.

Locking and object lifetime management being entangled with vfs is
probably the most egregious.  vfs is never designed to be misused like
this and cgroup ends up jumping through various convoluted dancing to
make things work.  Even then, operations across multiple cgroups can't
be done safely as it'll deadlock with rename locking.

Recently, kernfs is separated out from sysfs so that it can be used by
users other than sysfs.  This patch converts cgroup to use kernfs,
which will bring the following benefits.

* Separation from vfs internals.  Locking and object lifetime
  management is contained in cgroup proper making things a lot
  simpler.  This removes significant amount of locking convolutions,
  hairy object lifetime rules and the restriction on multi-cgroup
  operations.

* Can drop a lot of code to implement filesystem interface as most are
  provided by kernfs.

* Proper "severing" semantics, which allows controllers to not worry
  about lingering file accesses after offline.

While the preceding patches did as much as possible to make the
transition less painful, large part of the conversion has to be one
discrete step making this patch rather large.  The rest of the commit
message lists notable changes in different areas.

Overall
-------

* vfs constructs replaced with kernfs ones.  cgroup->dentry w/ ->kn,
  cgroupfs_root->sb w/ ->kf_root.

* All dentry accessors are removed.  Helpers to map from kernfs
  constructs are added.

* All vfs plumbing around dentry, inode and bdi removed.

* cgroup_mount() now directly looks for matching root and then
  proceeds to create a new one if not found.

Synchronization and object lifetime
-----------------------------------

* vfs inode locking removed.  Among other things, this removes the
  need for the convolution in cgroup_cfts_commit().  Future patches
  will further simplify it.

* vfs refcnting replaced with cgroup internal ones.  cgroup->refcnt,
  cgroupfs_root->refcnt added.  cgroup_put_root() now directly puts
  root->refcnt and when it reaches zero proceeds to destroy it thus
  merging cgroup_put_root() and the former cgroup_kill_sb().
  Simliarly, cgroup_put() now directly schedules cgroup_free_rcu()
  when refcnt reaches zero.

* Unlike before, kernfs objects don't hold onto cgroup objects.  When
  cgroup destroys a kernfs node, all existing operations are drained
  and the association is broken immediately.  The same for
  cgroupfs_roots and mounts.

* All operations which come through kernfs guarantee that the
  associated cgroup is and stays valid for the duration of operation;
  however, there are two paths which need to find out the associated
  cgroup from dentry without going through kernfs -
  css_tryget_from_dir() and cgroupstats_build().  For these two,
  kernfs_node->priv is RCU managed so that they can dereference it
  under RCU read lock.

File and directory handling
---------------------------

* File and directory operations converted to kernfs_ops and
  kernfs_syscall_ops.

* xattrs is implicitly supported by kernfs.  No need to worry about it
  from cgroup.  This means that "xattr" mount option is no longer
  necessary.  A future patch will add a deprecated warning message
  when sane_behavior.

* When cftype->max_write_len > PAGE_SIZE, it's necessary to make a
  private copy of one of the kernfs_ops to set its atomic_write_len.
  cftype->kf_ops is added and cgroup_init/exit_cftypes() are updated
  to handle it.

* cftype->lockdep_key added so that kernfs lockdep annotation can be
  per cftype.

* Inidividual file entries and open states are now managed by kernfs.
  No need to worry about them from cgroup.  cfent, cgroup_open_file
  and their friends are removed.

* kernfs_nodes are created deactivated and kernfs_activate()
  invocations added to places where creation of new nodes are
  committed.

* cgroup_rmdir() uses kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() for
  self-removal.

v2: - Li pointed out in an earlier patch that specifying "name="
      during mount without subsystem specification should succeed if
      there's an existing hierarchy with a matching name although it
      should fail with -EINVAL if a new hierarchy should be created.
      Prior to the conversion, this used by handled by deferring
      failure from NULL return from cgroup_root_from_opts(), which was
      necessary because root was being created before checking for
      existing ones.  Note that cgroup_root_from_opts() returned an
      ERR_PTR() value for error conditions which require immediate
      mount failure.

      As we now have separate search and creation steps, deferring
      failure from cgroup_root_from_opts() is no longer necessary.
      cgroup_root_from_opts() is updated to always return ERR_PTR()
      value on failure.

    - The logic to match existing roots is updated so that a mount
      attempt with a matching name but different subsys_mask are
      rejected.  This was handled by a separate matching loop under
      the comment "Check for name clashes with existing mounts" but
      got lost during conversion.  Merge the check into the main
      search loop.

    - Add __rcu __force casting in RCU_INIT_POINTER() in
      cgroup_destroy_locked() to avoid the sparse address space
      warning reported by kbuild test bot.  Maybe we want an explicit
      interface to use kn->priv as RCU protected pointer?

v3: Make CONFIG_CGROUPS select CONFIG_KERNFS.

Relocate cgroup_init/exit_root_id(), cgroup_free_root(),
cgroup_kill_sb() and cgroup_file_name() in preparation of kernfs
conversion.

These are pure relocations to make kernfs conversion easier to follow.

* Un-inline seq_css().  After kernfs conversion, the function will
  need to dereference internal data structures.

* Add cgroup_get/put_root() and replace direct super_block->s_active
  manipulatinos with them.  These will be converted to kernfs_root
  refcnting.

* Add cgroup_get/put() and replace dget/put() on cgrp->dentry with
  them.  These will be converted to kernfs refcnting.

* Update current_css_set_cg_links_read() to use cgroup_name() instead
  of reaching into the dentry name.  The end result is the same.

These changes don't make functional differences but will make
transition to kernfs easier.
