    cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe · d23b5c57
    Yafang Shao authored
    At present, when we perform operations on the cgroup root_list, we must
    hold the cgroup_mutex, which is a relatively heavyweight lock. In reality,
    we can make operations on this list RCU-safe, eliminating the need to hold
    the cgroup_mutex during traversal. Modifications to the list only occur in
    the cgroup root setup and destroy paths, which should be infrequent in a
    production environment. In contrast, traversal may occur frequently.
    Therefore, making it RCU-safe would be beneficial.
