Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 056/129] cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children
Date
3.16.7-ckt25 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

commit aa226ff4a1ce79f229c6b7a4c0a14e17fececd01 upstream.

There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free(). Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children. This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.

This patch updates offline path so that a parent css is never offlined
before its children. Each css keeps online_cnt which reaches zero iff
itself and all its children are offline and offline_css() is invoked
only after online_cnt reaches zero.

This fixes the memory controller bug and allows the fix for cpu
controller.
