[ Upstream commit b4ff1b44bc ]
cgroup_rstat_cpu_pop_updated() is used to traverse the updated cgroups
on flush. While it was only visiting updated ones in the subtree, it
was visiting @root unconditionally. We can easily check whether @root
is updated or not by looking at its ->updated_next just as with the
cgroups in the subtree.
* Remove the unnecessary cgroup_parent() test. The system root cgroup
is never updated and thus its ->updated_next is always NULL. No
need to test whether cgroup_parent() exists in addition to
->updated_next.
* Terminate traverse if ->updated_next is NULL. This can only happen
for subtree @root and there's no reason to visit it if it's not
marked updated.
This reduces cpu consumption when reading a lot of rstat backed files.
In a micro benchmark reading stat from ~1600 cgroups, the sys time was
lowered by >40%.

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.
