[PATCH 1/9 v2] cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->post_create()
From: Tejun Heo <hidden>
Date: 2012-11-07 17:15:17
Also in:
linux-pm, lkml
Currently, there's no way for a controller to find out whether a new
cgroup finished all ->create() allocatinos successfully and is
considered "live" by cgroup.
This becomes a problem later when we add generic descendants walking
to cgroup which can be used by controllers as controllers don't have a
synchronization point where it can synchronize against new cgroups
appearing in such walks.
This patch adds ->post_create(). It's called after all ->create()
succeeded and the cgroup is linked into the generic cgroup hierarchy.
This plays the counterpart of ->pre_destroy().
When used in combination with the to-be-added generic descendant
iterators, ->post_create() can be used to implement reliable state
inheritance. It will be explained with the descendant iterators.
v2: Added a paragraph about its future use w/ descendant iterators per
Michal.

If you can explain it better, please be my guest.
Thanks.
