Similar predicate is also used in cgroup.c (various cgroup vs subsys
lifecycle functions, e.g. css_free_rwork_fn()). I think it'd better
unified, i.e. open code the predicate here or use the helper in both
cases (css_is_cgroup() or similar).

Sure. Thanks for pointing that one out.


  void __init cgroup_rstat_boot(void)

- for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)

Hm, with this loop I realize it may be worth putting this lock into
struct cgroup_subsys_state and initializing them in
cgroup_init_subsys() to keep all per-subsys data in one pack.

Will give this a go in next rev.


I thought about this, but this would have unnecessary memory overhead as
we only need one lock per-subsystem. So having a lock in every single
css is wasteful.

Maybe we can put the lock in struct cgroup_subsys? Then we can still
initialize them in cgroup_init_subsys().

Similar here, and keep cgroup_rstat_boot() for the base locks only.

I think it will be confusing to have cgroup_rstat_boot() only initialize
some of the locks.

I think if we initialize the subsys locks in cgroup_init_subsys(), then
we should open code initializing the base locks in cgroup_init(), and
remove cgroup_rstat_boot().

Alternatively, we can make cgroup_rstat_boot() take in a subsys and
initialize its lock. If we pass NULL, then it initialize the base locks.
In this case we can call cgroup_rstat_boot() for each subsystem that has
an rstat callback in cgroup_init() (or cgroup_init_subsys()), and then
once for the base locks.

WDYT?

I like this alternative idea of adjusting cgroup_rstat_boot() so it can
accept a subsys ref. Let's see how it looks when v3 goes out.
