Revision 06eb4cc2e7ad1b32a3b2580eff772c29b53a2cc6 authored by Linus Torvalds on 21 May 2014, 09:36:40 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 21 May 2014, 09:36:40 UTC
Pull more cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Three more patches to fix cgroup_freezer breakage due to the recent
  cgroup internal locking changes - an operation cgroup_freezer was
  using now requires sleepable context and cgroup_freezer was invoking
  that while holding a spin lock.  cgroup_freezer was using an overly
  elaborate hierarchical locking scheme.

  While it's possible to convert the hierarchical spinlocks directly to
  mutexes, this patch simplifies the overall locking so that it uses a
  global mutex.  This has the added benefit of avoiding iterating
  potentially huge number of tasks under a spinlock.  While the patch is
  on the larger side in the devel cycle, the changes made are mostly
  straight-forward and the locking logic is a lot simpler afterwards"
