memcg: split part of memcg creation to css_online
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch is a preparatory work for later locking rework to get rid of
big cgroup lock from memory controller code.

The memory controller uses some tunables to adjust its operation.  Those
tunables are inherited from parent to children upon children
intialization.  For most of them, the value cannot be changed after the
parent has a new children.

cgroup core splits initialization in two phases: css_alloc and css_online.
After css_alloc, the memory allocation and basic initialization are done.
But the new group is not yet visible anywhere, not even for cgroup core
code.  It is only somewhere between css_alloc and css_online that it is
inserted into the internal children lists.  Copying tunable values in
css_alloc will lead to inconsistent values: the children will copy the old
parent values, that can change between the copy and the moment in which
the groups is linked to any data structure that can indicate the presence
of children.
