Tejun Heo 8a2fbdd5b0 cgroup: fix CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS
commit e9d81a1bc2 upstream.

CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS implements process-only iteration by making
css_task_iter_advance() skip tasks which aren't threadgroup leaders;
however, when an iteration is started css_task_iter_start() calls the
inner helper function css_task_iter_advance_css_set() instead of
css_task_iter_advance().  As the helper doesn't have the skip logic,
when the first task to visit is a non-leader thread, it doesn't get
skipped correctly as shown in the following example.

  # ps -L 2030
    PID   LWP TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
   2030  2030 pts/0    Sl+    0:00 ./test-thread
   2030  2031 pts/0    Sl+    0:00 ./test-thread
  # mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b
  # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.type
  # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.type
  # echo 2030 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.procs
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.threads
  2030
  2031
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
  2030
  # echo 2030 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.threads
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
  2031
  2030

The last read of cgroup.procs is incorrectly showing non-leader 2031
in cgroup.procs output.

This can be fixed by updating css_task_iter_advance() to handle the
first advance and css_task_iters_tart() to call
css_task_iter_advance() instead of the inner helper.  After the fix,
the same commands result in the following (correct) result:

  # ps -L 2062
    PID   LWP TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
   2062  2062 pts/0    Sl+    0:00 ./test-thread
   2062  2063 pts/0    Sl+    0:00 ./test-thread
  # mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b
  # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.type
  # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.type
  # echo 2062 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.procs
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.threads
  2062
  2063
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
  2062
  # echo 2062 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.threads
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs
  2062

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
