From a8638030f668884720b8f4456448d0ce33952b05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2012 09:12:29 -0800 Subject: cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->post_create() Currently, there's no way for a controller to find out whether a new cgroup finished all ->create() allocatinos successfully and is considered "live" by cgroup. This becomes a problem later when we add generic descendants walking to cgroup which can be used by controllers as controllers don't have a synchronization point where it can synchronize against new cgroups appearing in such walks. This patch adds ->post_create(). It's called after all ->create() succeeded and the cgroup is linked into the generic cgroup hierarchy. This plays the counterpart of ->pre_destroy(). When used in combination with the to-be-added generic descendant iterators, ->post_create() can be used to implement reliable state inheritance. It will be explained with the descendant iterators. v2: Added a paragraph about its future use w/ descendant iterators per Michal. v3: Forgot to add ->post_create() invocation to cgroup_load_subsys(). Fixed.
