Implement cgroup_get_e_css() which finds and gets the effective css
for the specified cgroup and subsystem combination.  This function
always returns a valid pinned css.  This will be used by cgroup
writeback support.

While at it, add comment to cgroup_e_css() to explain why that
function is different from cgroup_get_e_css() and has to test
cgrp-&gt;child_subsys_mask instead of cgroup_css(cgrp, ss).

Add a new cgroup_subsys operatoin -&gt;css_e_css_changed().  This is
invoked if any of the effective csses seen from the css's cgroup may
have changed.  This will be used to implement cgroup writeback
support.

<title>cgroup: fix the async css offline wait logic in cgroup_subtree_control_write()</title>

<id>db6e3053456800f0a7220b30355bece64764efe7</id>
<content type='text'>
When a subsystem is offlined, its entry on @cgrp-&gt;subsys[] is cleared
asynchronously.  If cgroup_subtree_control_write() is requested to
enable the subsystem again before the entry is cleared, it has to wait
for the previous offlining to finish and clear the @cgrp-&gt;subsys[]
entry before trying to enable the subsystem again.

This is currently done while verifying the input enable / disable
parameters.  This used to be correct but f63070d350e3 ("cgroup: make
interface files visible iff enabled on cgroup-&gt;subtree_control")
breaks it.  The commit is one of the commits implementing subsystem
dependency.

Through subsystem dependency, some subsystems may be enabled and
disabled implicitly in addition to the explicitly requested ones.  The
actual subsystems to be enabled and disabled are determined during
@css_enable/disable calculation.  The current offline wait logic skips
the ones which are already implicitly enabled and then waits for
subsystems in @enable; however, this misses the subsystems which may
be implicitly enabled through dependency from @enable.  If such
implicitly subsystem hasn't yet finished offlining yet, the function
ends up trying to create a css when its @cgrp-&gt;subsys[] slot is
already occupied triggering BUG_ON() in init_and_link_css().

Fix it by moving the wait logic after @css_enable is calculated and
waiting for all the subsystems in @css_enable.  This fixes the above
bug as the mask contains all subsystems which are to be enabled
including the ones enabled through dependencies.

Make cgroup_subtree_control_write() first calculate new
subtree_control (new_sc), child_subsys_mask (new_ss) and
css_enable/disable masks before applying them to the cgroup.  Also,
store the original subtree_control (old_sc) and child_subsys_mask
(old_ss) and use them to restore the orignal state after failure.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior changes.  This prepares for a
fix for a bug in the async css offline wait logic.

cgroup_refresh_child_subsys_mask() calculates and updates the

cgroup_calc_child_subsys_mask().  This will be used to fix a bug in

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on percpu front.  Notable changes are...

   - percpu allocator now can take @gfp.  If @gfp doesn't contain
     GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
     the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
     certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.

     This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
     blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
     writeback IOs.

     Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
     preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c
     ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
     just now.

   - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
     ints.  It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
     64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
     allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
     directly.

   - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
     percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
     percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
     mode.  This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
     the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
     in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
     operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
     blk-mq support).  It's also planned to be used to implement forced
     single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.

  There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
  up the duplicate percpu accessors.  That branch causes a number of
  conflicts with s390 and other trees.  I'll send a separate pull
  request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

This reverts commit 0c7bf3e8cab7900e17ce7f97104c39927d835469.

If there are child cgroups in the cgroupfs and then we umount it,
the superblock will be destroyed but the cgroup_root will be kept
around. When we mount it again, cgroup_mount() will find this
cgroup_root and allocate a new sb for it.

So with this commit we will be trapped in a dead loop in the case
described above, because kernfs_pin_sb() keeps returning NULL.

Currently I don't see how we can avoid using both pinned_sb and
new_sb, so just revert it.

With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
persistent switch use cases.

Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.

This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
following flags.

* PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC	: start ref in atomic mode
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD		: start ref killed and drained

These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.

v2: target_core_tpg.c conversion was missing.  Fixed.
