Paul Menage 8f3ff20862 cgroups: revert "cgroups: fix pid namespace bug" ... The following series adds a "cgroup.procs" file to each cgroup that reports unique tgids rather than pids, and allows all threads in a threadgroup to be atomically moved to a new cgroup. The subsystem "attach" interface is modified to support attaching whole threadgroups at a time, which could introduce potential problems if any subsystem were to need to access the old cgroup of every thread being moved. The attach interface may need to be revised if this becomes the case. Also added is functionality for read/write locking all CLONE_THREAD fork()ing within a threadgroup, by means of an rwsem that lives in the sighand_struct, for per-threadgroup-ness and also for sharing a cacheline with the sighand's atomic count. This scheme should introduce no extra overhead in the fork path when there's no contention. The final patch reveals potential for a race when forking before a subsystem's attach function is called - one potential solution in case any subsystem has this problem is to hang on to the group's fork mutex through the attach() calls, though no subsystem yet demonstrates need for an extended critical section. This patch: Revert commit 096b7fe012 Author: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> AuthorDate: Wed Jul 29 15:04:04 2009 -0700 Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> CommitDate: Wed Jul 29 19:10:35 2009 -0700 cgroups: fix pid namespace bug This is in preparation for some clashing cgroups changes that subsume the original commit's functionaliy. The original commit fixed a pid namespace bug which Ben Blum fixed independently (in the same way, but with different code) as part of a series of patches. I played around with trying to reconcile Ben's patch series with Li's patch, but concluded that it was simpler to just revert Li's, given that Ben's patch series contained essentially the same fix.
