enums are problematic because they cannot be forward-declared:
akpm2:/home/akpm> cat t.c
enum foo;
static inline void bar(enum foo f)
{
}
akpm2:/home/akpm> gcc -c t.c
t.c:4: error: parameter 1 ('f') has incomplete typeSo move the enum's definition into a standalone header file which can be used
wherever its definition is needed.Cc: Ying Han

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:* cgroup creation is out-of-control
* cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
* it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
* we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroupThe ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
the 'tasks' file.This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html
The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.
This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano

Convert cgroup_attach_proc to use flex_array.
The cgroup_attach_proc implementation requires a pre-allocated array to
store task pointers to atomically move a thread-group, but asking for a
monolithic array with kmalloc() may be unreliable for very large groups.
Using flex_array provides the same functionality with less risk of
failure.This is a post-patch for cgroup-procs-write.patch.

Make procs file writable to move all threads by tgid at once.
Add functionality that enables users to move all threads in a threadgroup
at once to a cgroup by writing the tgid to the 'cgroup.procs' file. This
current implementation makes use of a per-threadgroup rwsem that's taken
for reading in the fork() path to prevent newly forking threads within the
threadgroup from "escaping" while the move is in progress.Signed-off-by: Ben Blum

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

Adds functionality to read/write lock CLONE_THREAD fork()ing per-threadgroup
Add an rwsem that lives in a threadgroup's signal_struct that's taken for
reading in the fork path, under CONFIG_CGROUPS. If another part of the
kernel later wants to use such a locking mechanism, the CONFIG_CGROUPS
ifdefs should be changed to a higher-up flag that CGROUPS and the other
system would both depend on.This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-write.patch.

Originally i_lastfrag was 32 bits but then we added support for handling

54fb996ac15c "[PATCH] ufs2 write: block allocation update". Unfortunately
these casts got left behind so the value got truncated to 32 bit again.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unneeded min_t/max_t casting]

On most architectures division is an expensive operation and accessing an
element currently requires four of them. This performance penalty
effectively precludes flex arrays from being used on any kind of fast
path. However, two of these divisions can be handled at creation time and
the others can be replaced by a reciprocal divide, completely avoiding
real divisions on access.[eparis@redhat.com: rebase on top of changes to support 0 len elements]
