mainlining shenanigans
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "This contains fixes for two long standing subtle bugs: - kthread_bind() on a new kthread binds it to specific CPUs and prevents userland from messing with the affinity or cgroup membership. Unfortunately, for cgroup membership, there's a window between kthread creation and kthread_bind*() invocation where the kthread can be moved into a non-root cgroup by userland. Depending on what controllers are in effect, this can assign the kthread unexpected attributes. For example, in the reported case, workqueue workers ended up in a non-root cpuset cgroups and had their CPU affinities overridden. This broke workqueue invariants and led to workqueue stalls. Fixed by closing the window between kthread creation and kthread_bind() as suggested by Oleg. - There was a bug in cgroup mount path which could allow two competing mount attempts to attach the same cgroup_root to two different superblocks. This was caused by mishandling return value from kernfs_pin_sb(). Fixed" * 'for-4.11-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: avoid attaching a cgroup root to two different superblocks cgroup, kthread: close race window where new kthreads can be migrated to non-root cgroups |

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.
