[PATCHSET cgroup/for-3.16] cgroup: implement cftype->write()

[Tejun Heo]

Hello,

This patchset implements a new cftype operation ->write() and replace
->write_string() and ->trigger() with it.  ->write() is similar to
->write_string() but maps directly to the kernfs write operation and
has access to all available context information including the
associated kernfs_open_file, which will make things like implementing
kernfs active protection manipulation easier.

->write_string() becomes redundant and ->trigger() has always been
spurious.  This patch replaces all users of the two methods to
->write() and remove them.

This patchset contains the following five patches.

 0001-cgroup-implement-cftype-write.patch
 0002-cgroup-replace-cftype-write_string-with-cftype-write.patch
 0003-cgroup-replace-cftype-trigger-with-cftype-write.patch
 0004-cgroup-convert-tasks-and-cgroup.procs-handle-to-use-.patch
 0005-cgroup-remove-cgroup-control_kn.patch

0001 implements cftype->write().

0002-0003 replace cftype->write_string() and ->trigger() with it.

0004 convert "tasks" and "cgroup.procs" handler too.

0005 removes cgroup->control_kn as the kernfs_node is now directly
accessible from kernfs_open_file.

This patchset is on top of

[PATCH 1/5] cgroup: implement cftype->write()

[Tejun Heo]

During the recent conversion to kernfs, cftype's seq_file operations
are updated so that they are directly mapped to kernfs operations and
thus can fully access the associated kernfs and cgroup contexts;
however, write path hasn't seen similar updates and none of the
existing write operations has access to, for example, the associated
kernfs_open_file.

Let's introduce a new operation cftype->write() which maps directly to
the kernfs write operation and has access to all the arguments and
contexts.  This will replace ->write_string() and ->trigger() and ease
manipulation of kernfs active protection from cgroup file operations.

Two accessors - of_cft() and of_css() - are introduced to enable
accessing the associated cgroup context from cftype->write() which
only takes kernfs_open_file for the context information.  The
accessors for seq_file operations - seq_cft() and seq_css() - are
rewritten to wrap the of_ accessors.

[PATCH 2/5] cgroup: replace cftype->write_string() with cftype->write()

[Tejun Heo]

Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts.  The conversions are mostly mechanical.

* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
  respectively instead of being specified as arguments.

* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.

* @buf is not trimmed automatically.  Trim if necessary.  Note that
  blkcg doesn't need this as blkg_conf_prep() can already handle
  whitespaces.

cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.

While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

[PATCH 3/5] cgroup: replace cftype->trigger() with cftype->write()

[Tejun Heo]

cftype->trigger() is pointless.  It's trivial to ignore the input
buffer from a regular ->write() operation.  Convert all ->trigger()
users to ->write() and remove ->trigger().

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

[PATCH 4/5] cgroup: convert "tasks" and "cgroup.procs" handle to use cftype->write()

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup_tasks_write() and cgroup_procs_write() are currently using
cftype->write_u64().  This patch converts them to use cftype->write()
instead.  This allows access to the associated kernfs_open_file which
will be necessary to implement the planned kernfs active protection
manipulation for these files.

This shifts buffer parsing to attach_task_by_pid() and makes it return
@nbytes on success.  Let's rename it to __cgroup_procs_write() to
clearly indicate that this is a write handler implementation.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

[PATCH 5/5] cgroup: remove cgroup->control_kn

[Tejun Heo]

Now that cgroup_subtree_control_write() has access to the associated
kernfs_open_file and thus the kernfs_node, there's no need to cache it
in cgroup->control_kn on creation.  Remove cgroup->control_kn and use
@of->kn directly.

[PATCH v2 2/5] cgroup: replace cftype->write_string() with cftype->write()

[Tejun Heo]

Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts.  The conversions are mostly mechanical.

* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
  respectively instead of being specified as arguments.

* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.

* @buf is not trimmed automatically.  Trim if necessary.  Note that
  blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
  whitespaces.

cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.

While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

v2: netprio was missing from conversion.  Converted.
