From c8acec90d9dd11f9ebae8ab4a70eac5e1339297d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 12:03:48 -0400 Subject: cpuset: consider dying css as offline commit 41c25707d21716826e3c1f60967f5550610ec1c9 upstream. In most cases, a cgroup controller don't care about the liftimes of cgroups. For the controller, a css becomes online when ->css_online() is called on it and offline when ->css_offline() is called. However, cpuset is special in that the user interface it exposes cares whether certain cgroups exist or not. Combined with the RCU delay between cgroup removal and css offlining, this can lead to user visible behavior oddities where operations which should succeed after cgroup removals fail for some time period. The effects of cgroup removals are delayed when seen from userland. This patch adds css_is_dying() which tests whether offline is pending and updates is_cpuset_online() so that the function returns false also while offline is pending. This gets rid of the userland visible delays.
