Merge tag 'cgroup-for-5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "Several core optimizations: - threadgroup_rwsem write locking is skipped when configuring controllers in empty subtrees. Combined with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, this allows the common static usage pattern to not grab threadgroup_rwsem at all (glibc still doesn't seem ready for CLONE_INTO_CGROUP unfortunately). - threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default due to latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason for everyone else to pay for it. Make the behavior optional. - psi no longer allocates memory when disabled. ... along with some code cleanups" * tag 'cgroup-for-5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: Skip subtree root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses() cgroup: remove "no" prefixed mount options cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional cgroup: Add "no" prefixed mount options cgroup: Elide write-locking threadgroup_rwsem when updating csses on an empty subtree cgroup.c: remove redundant check for mixable cgroup in cgroup_migrate_vet_dst cgroup.c: add helper __cset_cgroup_from_root to cleanup duplicated codes psi: dont alloc memory for psi by default
