Merge branch 'for-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "The bulk of changes are cleanups and preparations for the upcoming kernfs conversion. - cgroup_event mechanism which is and will be used only by memcg is moved to memcg. - pidlist handling is updated so that it can be served by seq_file. Also, the list is not sorted if sane_behavior. cgroup documentation explicitly states that the file is not sorted but it has been for quite some time. - All cgroup file handling now happens on top of seq_file. This is to prepare for kernfs conversion. In addition, all operations are restructured so that they map 1-1 to kernfs operations. - Other cleanups and low-pri fixes" * 'for-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (40 commits) cgroup: trivial style updates cgroup: remove stray references to css_id doc: cgroups: Fix typo in doc/cgroups cgroup: fix fail path in cgroup_load_subsys() cgroup: fix missing unlock on error in cgroup_load_subsys() cgroup: remove for_each_root_subsys() cgroup: implement for_each_css() cgroup: factor out cgroup_subsys_state creation into create_css() cgroup: combine css handling loops in cgroup_create() cgroup: reorder operations in cgroup_create() cgroup: make for_each_subsys() useable under cgroup_root_mutex cgroup: css iterations and css_from_dir() are safe under cgroup_mutex cgroup: unify pidlist and other file handling cgroup: replace cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show() cgroup: attach cgroup_open_file to all cgroup files cgroup: generalize cgroup_pidlist_open_file cgroup: unify read path so that seq_file is always used cgroup: unify cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string() cgroup: remove cftype->read(), ->read_map() and ->write() hugetlb_cgroup: convert away from cftype->read() ...

-2.4 Notification API
---------------------
-
-There is mechanism which allows to get notifications about changing
-status of a cgroup.
-
-To register a new notification handler you need to:
- - create a file descriptor for event notification using eventfd(2);
- - open a control file to be monitored (e.g. memory.usage_in_bytes);
- - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
- Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;
-
-eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
-cgroup is removed.
-
-To unregister a notification handler just close eventfd.
-
-NOTE: Support of notifications should be implemented for the control
-file. See documentation for the subsystem.
