Hello Tejun,
While experimenting with cgroups, we've found what looks to be a bug.
I eventually simplified this to what I think are the minimum steps to
demonstrate the issue.
The following shell session demonstrates the issue:
[Kernel was booted with cgroup_no_v1=all]
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
# cat cgroup.subtree_control # show that no controllers are enabled
# mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type
At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:
mycgrp [d]
a [dt]
b [t]
c [inv]
Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type
By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:
mycgrp [dt]
a [t]
b [t]
c [inv]
But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
"threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael

Hello, Michael.
Great catch. Can you please verify whether the following patch fixes
the issue?
Thanks.

Subject: cgroup: Fix dom_cgrp propagation when enabling threaded mode
A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a
threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met. When this
happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp
updated to the new threaded domain cgroup. Unfortunately, this
propagation was missing leading to the following failure.
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
# cat cgroup.subtree_control # show that no controllers are enabled
# mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type
At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:
mycgrp [d]
a [dt]
b [t]
c [inv]
Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type
By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:
mycgrp [dt]
a [t]
b [t]
c [inv]
But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
"threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported
This patch fixes the problem by
* Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in
cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so
that mulitple cgroups can be handled.
* Updating all threaded descendants' ->dom_cgrp to point to the new
dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.
