cgroup: Merge branch 'for-6.17-fixes' into for-6.18

Pull for-6.17-fixes to receive 79f919a89c9d ("cgroup: split
cgroup_destroy_wq into 3 workqueues") to resolve its conflict with
7fa33aa3b001 ("cgroup: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users"). The
latter adds WQ_PERCPU when creating cgroup_destroy_wq and the former splits
the workqueue into three. Resolve by applying WQ_PERCPU to the three split
workqueues.

 Controlling Controllers
 -----------------------
 
-Availablity
-~~~~~~~~~~~
+Availability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 A controller is available in a cgroup when it is supported by the kernel (i.e.,
 compiled in, not disabled and not attached to a v1 hierarchy) and listed in the

kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c

···
  * of concurrent destructions.  Use a separate workqueue so that cgroup
  * destruction work items don't end up filling up max_active of system_percpu_wq
  * which may lead to deadlock.
+ *
+ * A cgroup destruction should enqueue work sequentially to:
+ * cgroup_offline_wq: use for css offline work
+ * cgroup_release_wq: use for css release work
+ * cgroup_free_wq: use for free work
+ *
+ * Rationale for using separate workqueues:
+ * The cgroup root free work may depend on completion of other css offline
+ * operations. If all tasks were enqueued to a single workqueue, this could
+ * create a deadlock scenario where:
+ * - Free work waits for other css offline work to complete.
+ * - But other css offline work is queued after free work in the same queue.
+ *
+ * Example deadlock scenario with single workqueue (cgroup_destroy_wq):
+ * 1. umount net_prio
+ * 2. net_prio root destruction enqueues work to cgroup_destroy_wq (CPUx)
+ * 3. perf_event CSS A offline enqueues work to same cgroup_destroy_wq (CPUx)
+ * 4. net_prio cgroup_destroy_root->cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline.
+ * 5. net_prio root destruction blocks waiting for perf_event CSS A offline,
+ *    which can never complete as it's behind in the same queue and
+ *    workqueue's max_active is 1.
