cpuset: make CPU / memory hotplug propagation asynchronous
cpuset_hotplug_workfn() has been invoking cpuset_propagate_hotplug() directly to propagate hotplug updates to !root cpusets; however, this has the following problems. * cpuset locking is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_mutex, cgroup_mutex will be unexported, and cgroup_attach_task() will do cgroup locking internally, so propagation can't synchronously move tasks to a parent cgroup while walking the hierarchy. * We can't use cgroup generic tree iterator because propagation to each cpuset may sleep. With propagation done asynchronously, we can lose the rather ugly cpuset specific iteration. Convert cpuset_propagate_hotplug() to cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() and execute it from newly added cpuset->hotplug_work. The work items are run on an ordered workqueue, so the propagation order is preserved. cpuset_hotplug_workfn() schedules all propagations while holding cgroup_mutex and waits for completion without cgroup_mutex. Each in-flight propagation holds a reference to the cpuset->css. This patch doesn't cause any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
