	threadgroup_change_begin/end() are used to mark the beginning and end of threadgroup modifying operations to allow code paths which require a threadgroup to stay stable across blocking operations to synchronize against those sections using threadgroup_lock/unlock(). It's currently implemented as a general mechanism in sched.h using per-signal_struct rwsem; however, this never grew non-cgroup use cases and becomes noop if !CONFIG_CGROUPS. It turns out that cgroups is gonna be better served with a different sycnrhonization scheme and is a bit silly to keep cgroups specific details as a general mechanism. What's general here is identifying the places where threadgroups are modified. This patch restructures threadgroup locking so that threadgroup_change_begin/end() become a place where subsystems which need to sycnhronize against threadgroup changes can hook into. cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin/end() which operate on the per-signal_struct rwsem are created and threadgroup_lock/unlock() are moved to cgroup.c and made static. This is pure reorganization which doesn't cause any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
2015-05-18	cgroup: separate out include/linux/cgroup-defs.h	Tejun Heo
	From 2d728f74bfc071df06773e2fd7577dd5dab6425d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 15:37:01 -0400 This patch separates out cgroup-defs.h from cgroup.h which has grown a lot of dependencies. cgroup-defs.h currently only contains constant and type definitions and can be used to break circular include dependency. While moving, definitions are reordered so that cgroup-defs.h has consistent logical structure. This patch is pure reorganization. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
