[PATCH v2 2/6] sched: split out css_online/css_offline from tg creation/destruction

[Li Zefan]

This is a preparaton for later patches.

- What do we gain from cpu_cgroup_css_online():

After ss->css_alloc() and before ss->css_online(), there's a small
window that tg->css.cgroup is NULL. With this change, tg won't be seen
before ss->css_online(), where it's added to the global list, so we're
guaranteed we'll never see NULL tg->css.cgroup.

- What do we gain from cpu_cgroup_css_offline():

tg is freed via RCU, so is cgroup. Without this change, This is how
synchronization works:

cgroup_rmdir()
  no ss->css_offline()
diput()
  syncornize_rcu()
  ss->css_free()       <-- unregister tg, and free it via call_rcu()
  kfree_rcu(cgroup)    <-- wait possible refs to cgroup, and free cgroup

We can't just kfree(cgroup), because tg might access tg->css.cgroup.

With this change:

cgroup_rmdir()
  ss->css_offline()    <-- unregister tg
diput()
  synchronize_rcu()    <-- wait possible refs to tg and cgroup
  ss->css_free()       <-- free tg
  kfree_rcu(cgroup)    <-- free cgroup

As you see, kfree_rcu() is redundant now.
