[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v4.8-rc4

Show all headers | View raw

Hello, Linus.

Two fixes for cgroup.

* There still was a hole in enforcing cpuset rules, fixed by Li.

* Recent switch to global percpu_rwseom for threadgroup locking
  revealed a couple issues in how percpu_rwsem is implemented and used
  by cgroup.  Balbir found that the read locking section was too wide
  unnecessarily including operations which can often depend on IOs.
  With percpu_rwsem updates (coming through a different tree) and
  reduction of read locking section, all the reported locking latency
  issues, including the android one, are resolved.

  It looks like we can keep global percpu_rwsem locking for now.  If
  there actually are cases which can't be resolved, we can go back to
  more complex per-signal_struct locking.

Thanks.
