From 67f4c36f83455b253445b2cb28ac9a2c4f85d99a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2013 20:11:24 -0400 Subject: cgroup: add cgroup->dummy_css cgroup subsystem API is being converted to use css (cgroup_subsys_state) as the main handle, which makes things a bit awkward for subsystem agnostic core features - the "cgroup.*" interface files and various iterations - a bit awkward as they don't have a css to use. This patch adds cgroup->dummy_css which has NULL ->ss and whose only role is pointing back to the cgroup. This will be used to support subsystem agnostic features on the coming css based API. css_parent() is updated to handle dummy_css's. Note that css will soon grow its own ->parent field and css_parent() will be made trivial.
