Along with the write access to the cgroup.procs or tasks file, cgroup
has required the writer's euid, unless root, to match [s]uid of the
target process or task. On cgroup v1, this is necessary because
there's nothing preventing a delegatee from pulling in tasks or
processes from all over the system.
If a user has a cgroup subdirectory delegated to it, the user would
have write access to the cgroup.procs or tasks file. If there are no
further checks than file write access check, the user would be able to
pull processes from all over the system into its subhierarchy which is
clearly not the intended behavior. The matching [s]uid requirement
partially prevents this problem by allowing a delegatee to pull in the
processes that belongs to it. This isn't a sufficient protection
however, because a user would still be able to jump processes across
two disjoint sub-hierarchies that has been delegated to them.
cgroup v2 resolves the issue by requiring the writer to have access to
the common ancestor of the cgroup.procs file of the source and target
cgroups. This confines each delegatee to their own sub-hierarchy
proper and bases all permission decisions on the cgroup filesystem
rather than having to pull in explicit uid matching.
cgroup v2 has still been applying the matching [s]uid requirement just
for historical reasons. On cgroup2, the requirement doesn't serve any
purpose while unnecessarily complicating the permission model. Let's
drop it.

perf_event is a utility controller whose primary role is identifying
cgroup membership to filter perf events; however, because it also
tracks some per-css state, it can't be replaced by pure cgroup
membership test. Mark the controller as implicitly enabled on the
default hierarchy so that perf events can always be filtered based on
cgroup v2 path as long as the controller is not mounted on a legacy
hierarchy.
"perf record" is updated accordingly so that it searches for both v1
and v2 hierarchies. A v1 hierarchy is used if perf_event is mounted
on it; otherwise, it uses the v2 hierarchy.
v2: Doc updated to reflect more flexible rebinding behavior.

Pull cgroup namespace support from Tejun Heo:
"These are changes to implement namespace support for cgroup which has
been pending for quite some time now. It is very straight-forward and
only affects what part of cgroup hierarchies are visible.
After unsharing, mounting a cgroup fs will be scoped to the cgroups
the task belonged to at the time of unsharing and the cgroup paths
exposed to userland would be adjusted accordingly"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in
this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the
addition of cgroup namespace support.
- The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where
controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those
places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes
the code fragile and difficult to follow.
The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that
most related operations are performed through common helpers which
implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently)
and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target
state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand,
verify and extend.
- Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using
perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2
path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel
portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
still pending review.
- cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
certain environments.
- There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this
pull request w/ stable cc'd.
- Misc non-critical fixes and improvements"

Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a
race condition when the desired value is below the current usage. The
code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has
dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and
the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit.
Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that
the workload happens to cooperate.
To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round:
set the limit first, then try enforcement. And if reclaim is not able
to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group. Keep going until the new
limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable
memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed. This allows
users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with
what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
- The destruction path of cgroup objects are asynchronous and
multi-staged and some of them ended up destroying parents before
children leading to failures in cpu and memory controllers. Ensure
that parents are always destroyed after children.
- cpuset mm node migration was performed synchronously while holding
threadgroup and cgroup mutexes and the recent threadgroup locking
update resulted in a possible deadlock. The migration is best effort
and shouldn't have been performed under those locks to begin with.
Made asynchronous.
- Minor documentation fix.
