From 42aee6c495e07dba7410b863a360db6bb9ec6d66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:34:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: revert ss_id_lock to spinlock Commit c1e2ee2dc436 ("memcg: replace ss->id_lock with a rwlock") has now been seen to cause the unfair behavior we should have expected from converting a spinlock to an rwlock: softlockup in cgroup_mkdir(), whose get_new_cssid() is waiting for the wlock, while there are 19 tasks using the rlock in css_get_next() to get on with their memcg workload (in an artificial test, admittedly). Yet lib/idr.c was made suitable for RCU way back: revert that commit, restoring ss->id_lock to a spinlock.
