4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tejun Heo tj@kernel.org
commit 479adb89a97b0a33e5a9d702119872cc82ca21aa upstream.
A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met. When this happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp updated to the new threaded domain cgroup. Unfortunately, this propagation was missing leading to the following failure.
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified # cat cgroup.subtree_control # show that no controllers are enabled
# mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type
At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:
mycgrp [d] a [dt] b [t] c [inv]
Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type
By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:
mycgrp [dt] a [t] b [t] c [inv]
But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported
This patch fixes the problem by
* Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so that mulitple cgroups can be handled.
* Updating all threaded descendants' ->dom_cgrp to point to the new dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.
