The cgroup_taskset structure within the larger cgroup_mgctx structure
is supposed to be used once and then discarded. That is not really the
case in the hotplug code path:

cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
 - cgroup_transfer_tasks()
   - cgroup_migrate()
     - cgroup_migrate_add_task()
     - cgroup_migrate_execute()

In this case, the cgroup_migrate() function is called multiple time
with the same cgroup_mgctx structure to transfer the tasks from
one cgroup to another one-by-one. The second time cgroup_migrate()
is called, the cgroup_taskset will be in an incorrect state and so
may cause the system to panic. For example,

To allow reuse of the cgroup_mgctx structure, some fields in that
structure are now re-initialized at the end of cgroup_migrate_execute()
function call so that the structure can be reused again in a later
iteration without causing problem.

This bug was introduced in the commit e595cd706982 ("group: track
migration context in cgroup_mgctx") in 4.11. This commit moves the
cgroup_taskset initialization out of cgroup_migrate(). The commit
10467270fb3 ("cgroup: don't call migration methods if there are no
tasks to migrate") helped, but did not completely resolve the problem.

<content type='text'>
Cpusets vs. suspend-resume is _completely_ broken. And it got noticed
because it now resulted in non-cpuset usage breaking too.

On suspend cpuset_cpu_inactive() doesn't call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() because it doesn't want to move tasks about,
there is no need, all tasks are frozen and won't run again until after
we've resumed everything.

But this means that when we finally do call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() after resuming the last frozen cpu in
cpuset_cpu_active(), the top_cpuset will not have any difference with
the cpu_active_mask and this it will not in fact do _anything_.

So the cpuset configuration will not be restored. This was largely
hidden because we would unconditionally create identity domains and
mobile users would not in fact use cpusets much. And servers what do use
cpusets tend to not suspend-resume much.

An addition problem is that we'd not in fact wait for the cpuset work to
finish before resuming the tasks, allowing spurious migrations outside
of the specified domains.

Fix the rebuild by introducing cpuset_force_rebuild() and fix the
ordering with cpuset_wait_for_hotplug().

<title>mm: replace TIF_MEMDIE checks by tsk_is_oom_victim</title>

TIF_MEMDIE is set only to the tasks whick were either directly selected
by the OOM killer or passed through mark_oom_victim from the allocator
path.  tsk_is_oom_victim is more generic and allows to identify all
tasks (threads) which share the mm with the oom victim.

Please note that the freezer still needs to check TIF_MEMDIE because we
cannot thaw tasks which do not participage in oom_victims counting
otherwise a !TIF_MEMDIE task could interfere after oom_disbale returns.

<title>cgroup: revert fa06235b8eb0 ("cgroup: reset css on destruction")</title>

Commit fa06235b8eb0 ("cgroup: reset css on destruction") caused
css_reset callback to be called from the offlining path.  Although it
solves the problem mentioned in the commit description ("For instance,
memory cgroup needs to reset memory.low, otherwise pages charged to a
dead cgroup might never get reclaimed."), generally speaking, it's not
correct.

An offline cgroup can still be a resource domain, and we shouldn't grant
it more resources than it had before deletion.

For instance, if an offline memory cgroup has dirty pages, we should
still imply i/o limits during writeback.

The css_reset callback is designed to return the cgroup state into the
original state, that means reset all limits and counters.  It's
spomething different from the offlining, and we shouldn't use it from
the offlining path.  Instead, we should adjust necessary settings from
the per-controller css_offline callbacks (e.g.  reset memory.low).

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Add 'cross-release' support to lockdep, which allows APIs like
   completions, where it's not the 'owner' who releases the lock, to be
   tracked. It's all activated automatically under
   CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.

 - Clean up (restructure) the x86 atomics op implementation to be more
   readable, in preparation of KASAN annotations. (Dmitry Vyukov)

 - Fix static keys (Paolo Bonzini)

 - Add killable versions of down_read() et al (Kirill Tkhai)

 - Rework and fix jump_label locking (Marc Zyngier, Paolo Bonzini)

 - Rework (and fix) tlb_flush_pending() barriers (Peter Zijlstra)

 - Remove smp_mb__before_spinlock() and convert its usages, introduce
   smp_mb__after_spinlock() (Peter Zijlstra)

* 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (56 commits)
  locking/lockdep/selftests: Fix mixed read-write ABBA tests
  sched/completion: Avoid unnecessary stack allocation for COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK()
  acpi/nfit: Fix COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK() abuse
  locking/pvqspinlock: Relax cmpxchg's to improve performance on some architectures
  smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
  locking/lockdep: Untangle xhlock history save/restore from task independence
  locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Disable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT for the time being
  futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour
  Documentation/locking/atomic: Finish the document...
  locking/lockdep: Fix workqueue crossrelease annotation
  workqueue/lockdep: 'Fix' flush_work() annotation
  locking/lockdep/selftests: Add mixed read-write ABBA tests
  mm, locking/barriers: Clarify tlb_flush_pending() barriers
  locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS truly non-interactive
  locking/lockdep: Explicitly initialize wq_barrier::done::map
  locking/lockdep: Rename CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS
  locking/lockdep: Reword title of LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE config
  locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
