cgroup: replace cgroup->css_kill_cnt with ->nr_css
Currently, css (cgroup_subsys_state) lifetime is tied to that of the associated cgroup. With the planned unified hierarchy, css's will be dynamically created and destroyed within the lifetime of a cgroup. To enable such usages, css's will be individually RCU protected instead of being tied to the cgroup. cgroup->css_kill_cnt is used during cgroup destruction to wait for css reference count disable; however, this model doesn't work once css's lifetimes are managed separately from cgroup's. This patch replaces it with cgroup->nr_css which is an cgroup_mutex protected integer counting the number of attached css's. The count is incremented from online_css() and decremented after refcnt kill is confirmed. If the count reaches zero and the cgroup is marked dead, the second stage of cgroup destruction is kicked off. If a cgroup doesn't have any css attached at the time of rmdir, cgroup_destroy_locked() now invokes the second stage directly as no css kill confirmation would happen. cgroup_offline_fn() - the second step of cgroup destruction - is renamed to cgroup_destroy_css_killed() and now expects to be called with cgroup_mutex held. While this patch changes how css destruction is punted to work items, it shouldn't change any visible behavior. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
