Oleg Nesterov d0bc74c563 cgroup/pids: turn cgroup_subsys->free() into cgroup_subsys->release() to fix the accounting
[ Upstream commit 51bee5abea ]

The only user of cgroup_subsys->free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which
needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid.

However, ->free() is called from __put_task_struct()->cgroup_free() and this
is too late. Even the trivial program which does

	for (;;) {
		int pid = fork();
		assert(pid >= 0);
		if (pid)
			wait(NULL);
		else
			exit(0);
	}

can run out of limits because release_task()->call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct)
implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put().

Test-case:

	mkdir -p /tmp/CG
	mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG
	echo '+pids' > /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control

	mkdir /tmp/CG/PID
	echo 2 > /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max

	perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' &
	echo $! > /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs

Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration.

Rename cgroup_subsys->free() to cgroup_subsys->release() and move the callsite
into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually
frees the pid(s).

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.
