Hello,
cgroup is scheduled to be converted to use kernfs, which is currently
in the process of being separated out of sysfs, so that, among other
things, cgroup core locking can be decoupled from vfs layer. This
patchset cleans up and conslidates cgroup file handling to facilitate
such conversion.
There currently are a couple different rw paths including the ones
which don't impose any structure. All existing users and expected
reasonable use cases can be served with standard seq_file interface
and buffered writes, which is what's provided by kernfs.
This patchset updates cgroup file handling so that the interface and
usages are more concise and there is single path for read and single
path for write, both of which closely map to the interface kernfs
provides.
This series ends up adding some amount of code which will be replaced
by kernfs but, overall, things get more streamlined and LOC is
reduced.
The following 12 patches are included in the series.
0001-cgroup-sched-convert-away-from-cftype-read_map.patch
0002-cpuset-convert-away-from-cftype-read.patch

0012-cgroup-unify-pidlist-and-other-file-handling.patch
While this series touches a lot of controllers, all updates to the
controllers are mostly mechnical. I think it'd be best if the series
can be routed through cgroup/for-3.14 branch.
This patchset is on top of
cgroup/for-3.14 c729b11edf74 ("cgroup: Merge branch 'for-3.13-fixes' into for-3.14")
+ [1] [PATCHSET] cgroup: restructure pidlist handling
