4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org>
commit 2f5177f0fd7e531b26d54633be62d1d4cb94621c upstream.
The CPU controller hasn't kept up with the various changes in the whole
cgroup initialization / destruction sequence, and commit:
2e91fa7f6d45 ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups")
caused it to explode.
The reason for this is that zombies do not inhibit css_offline() from
being called, but do stall css_released(). Now we tear down the cfs_rq
structures on css_offline() but zombies can run after that, leading to
use-after-free issues.
The solution is to move the tear-down to css_released(), which
guarantees nobody (including no zombies) is still using our cgroup.
Furthermore, a few simple cleanups are possible too. There doesn't
appear to be any point to us using css_online() (anymore?) so fold that
in css_alloc().
And since cgroup code guarantees an RCU grace period between
css_released() and css_free() we can forgo using call_rcu() and free the
stuff immediately.
