SubjectRe: [PATCH] cgroup: Show control files in cgroup2 root after mount
Hello,

kernfs_activate() there is for any files which are created while a
controller moves between hierarchies, so, yeah, during boot, this is
where the root files for cgroup1 hierarchies would be activated.

Yeah, they just get skipped over.

When a controller gets mounted on v1, the controller is detached from
cgroup2 hierarchy, so the corresponding files are removed from v2 root
and then created on v1, which are activated by the kernfs_activate()
call at the end of rebind.

I see. I'm testing with the same kernel.

Heh, I'm really confused. If I do the same thing, I get the following
result which makes sense as the files would be activated in
cgroup_apply_cftypes() when the debug controller is registered during
boot.

# mkdir /cgroup2
# mount -t cgroup2 cgroup2 /cgroup2
# ls /cgroup2/
cgroup.controllers debug.current_css_set
cgroup.procs debug.current_css_set_cg_links
cgroup.subtree_control debug.current_css_set_refcount
cgroup.threads debug.masks
debug.csses debug.taskcount
debug.css_links

Thanks.
