This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support. The goal of the
thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at
thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model
which allows coordination across different resource controllers and
handling of anonymous resource consumptions.
A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by
writing to the "cgroup.type" file. When a cgroup becomes threaded, it
becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the
closest ancestor which isn't threaded.
The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be
placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or
no-internal-process constraint. Note that the threads aren't allowed
to escape to a different threaded subtree. To be used inside a
threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode
and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is
appropriate for the resource.
The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't
threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource
domain for the whole subtree. This is the last cgroup where domain
controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource
consumptions in the subtree are accounted. This allows threaded
controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while
staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution.
As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint,
it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups,
so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and
threaded children.
Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset
pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain.
This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all
threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level
operations.
This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events
controllers. Neither has to worry about domain-level resource
consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag.
For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode,
please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added
by this patch.
v5: - Dropped silly no-op ->dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create().
Spotted by Waiman.
- Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman.
- cgroup.type content slightly reformatted.
- Mark the debug controller threaded.
v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups
domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ.
v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's
threaded subtree.
v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is
added. This should address the issue that Peter pointed out
where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while
coexisting with other domain cgroups.
- Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing
control mask update mechanism.
- Bug fixes and cleanup.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
