Currently cgroup uses combination of inode->i_mutex'es and
cgroup_mutex for synchronization. With the scheduled kernfs
conversion, i_mutex'es will be removed. Unfortunately, just using
cgroup_mutex isn't possible. All kernfs file and syscall operations,
most of which require grabbing cgroup_mutex, will be called with
kernfs active ref held and, if we try to perform kernfs removals under
cgroup_mutex, it can deadlock as kernfs_remove() tries to drain the
target node.
Let's introduce a new outer mutex, cgroup_tree_mutex, which protects
stuff used during hierarchy changing operations - cftypes and all the
operations which may affect the cgroupfs. It also covers css
association and iteration. This allows cgroup_css(), for_each_css()
and other css iterators to be called under cgroup_tree_mutex. The new
mutex will nest above both kernfs's active ref protection and
cgroup_mutex. By protecting tree modifications with a separate outer
mutex, we can get rid of the forementioned deadlock condition.
Actual file additions and removals now require cgroup_tree_mutex
instead of cgroup_mutex. Currently, cgroup_tree_mutex is never used
without cgroup_mutex; however, we'll soon add hierarchy modification
sections which are only protected by cgroup_tree_mutex. In the
future, we might want to make the locking more granular by better
splitting the coverages of the two mutexes. For now, this should do.
v2: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f887 ("cgroup: protect modifications to
cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").
