    cgroup: Prevent double killing of css when enabling threaded cgroup · 3bc0bb36
    Michal Koutný authored
    The test_cgcore_no_internal_process_constraint_on_threads selftest when
    running with subsystem controlling noise triggers two warnings:
    
    > [  597.443115] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3131 cgroup_apply_control_enable+0xe0/0x3f0
    > [  597.443413] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28167 at kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:3177 cgroup_apply_control_disable+0xa6/0x160
    
    Both stem from a call to cgroup_type_write. The first warning was also
    triggered by syzkaller.
    
    When we're switching cgroup to threaded mode shortly after a subsystem
    was disabled on it, we can see the respective subsystem css dying there.
    
    The warning in cgroup_apply_control_enable is harmless in this case
    since we're not adding new subsys anyway.
    The warning in cgroup_apply_control_disable indicates an attempt to kill
    css of recently disabled subsystem repeatedly.
    
    The commit prevents these situations by making cgroup_type_write wait
    for all dying csses to go away before re-applying subtree controls.
    When at it, the locations of WARN_ON_ONCE calls are moved so that
    warning is triggered only when we are about to misuse the dying css.
