cgroup: introduce sane_behavior mount option
It's a sad fact that at this point various cgroup controllers are carrying so many idiosyncrasies and pure insanities that it simply isn't possible to reach any sort of sane consistent behavior while maintaining staying fully compatible with what already has been exposed to userland. As we can't break exposed userland interface, transitioning to sane behaviors can only be done in steps while maintaining backwards compatibility. This patch introduces a new mount option - __DEVEL__sane_behavior - which disables crazy features and enforces consistent behaviors in cgroup core proper and various controllers. As exactly which behaviors it changes are still being determined, the mount option, at this point, is useful only for development of the new behaviors. As such, the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__ and generates a warning message when used. Eventually, once we get to the point where all controller's behaviors are consistent enough to implement unified hierarchy, the __DEVEL__ prefix will be dropped, and more importantly, unified-hierarchy will enforce sane_behavior by default. Maybe we'll able to completely drop the crazy stuff after a while, maybe not, but we at least have a strategy to move on to saner behaviors. This patch introduces the mount option and changes the following behaviors in cgroup core. * Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed. Also, cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created. * When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match. This is currently pretty crazy. If one mounts a cgroup, creates a subdirectory, unmounts it and then mount it again with different option, it looks like the new options are applied but they aren't. * Remount is disallowed. The behaviors changes are documented in the comment above CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR enum and will be expanded as different controllers are converted and planned improvements progress. v2: Dropped unnecessary explicit file permission setting sane_behavior cftype entry as suggested by Li Zefan.
