It's highly unlikely that the actual resource controlling controllers are gonna be made modular and we aren't gonna add more non-resource controllers either, so the value of module support is strictly restricted to the two existing controllers. Both controllers are fairly simple while module support in cgroup core adds quite a bit of complexity. Building those two controllers as module only saves about half-page in vmlinux, which really can't justify the additional complexity and (minute but existing) runtime overhead. This patchset makes net_cls and net_prio config options bool so that they can't be built as modules and drop module support from cgroup core, which in turn facilitates further simplification leading to removal of cgroup_root_mutex by allowing iterating subsystems outside the mutexes. This patchset contains the following six patches. 0001-cgroup-make-CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP-and-CONFIG_NETPRIO.patch 0002-cgroup-drop-module-support.patch 0003-cgroup-clean-up-cgroup_subsys-names-and-initializati.patch 0004-cgroup-rename-cgroup_subsys-subsys_id-to-id.patch 0005-cgroup-update-locking-in-cgroup_show_options.patch 0006-cgroup-remove-cgroup_root_mutex.patch 0001-0002 drop cgroup module support. 0003-0004 are cleanups. 0005-0006 remove cgroup_root_mutex. The patchset is also available in the following git branch. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git review-simplify diffstat follows.
