cgroup: move module ref handling into rebind_subsystems()
Module ref handling in cgroup is rather weird. parse_cgroupfs_options() grabs all the modules for the specified subsystems. A module ref is kept if the specified subsystem is newly bound to the hierarchy. If not, or the operation fails, the refs are dropped. This scatters module ref handling across multiple functions making it difficult to track. It also make the function nasty to use for dynamic subsystem binding which is necessary for the planned unified hierarchy. There's nothing which requires the subsystem modules to be pinned between parse_cgroupfs_options() and rebind_subsystems() in both mount and remount paths. parse_cgroupfs_options() can just parse and rebind_subsystems() can handle pinning the subsystems that it wants to bind, which is a natural part of its task - binding - anyway. Move module ref handling into rebind_subsystems() which makes the code a lot simpler - modules are gotten iff it's gonna be bound and put iff unbound or binding fails. v2: Li pointed out that if a controller module is unloaded between parsing and binding, rebind_subsystems() won't notice the missing controller as it only iterates through existing controllers. Fix it by updating rebind_subsystems() to compare @added_mask to @pinned and fail with -ENOENT if they don't match. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
