Merge branch 'for-3.5' of ../cgroup into block/for-3.5/core-merged
cgroup/for-3.5 contains the following changes which blk-cgroup needs
to proceed with the on-going cleanup.
* Dynamic addition and removal of cftypes to make config/stat file
handling modular for policies.
* cgroup removal update to not wait for css references to drain to fix
blkcg removal hang caused by cfq caching cfqgs.
Pull in cgroup/for-3.5 into block/for-3.5/core. This causes the
following conflicts in block/blk-cgroup.c.
* 761b3ef50e "cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks"
conflicts with blkiocg_pre_destroy() addition and blkiocg_attach()
removal. Resolved by removing @subsys from all subsys methods.
* 676f7c8f84 "cgroup: relocate cftype and cgroup_subsys definitions in
controllers" conflicts with ->pre_destroy() and ->attach() updates
and removal of modular config. Resolved by dropping forward
declarations of the methods and applying updates to the relocated
blkio_subsys.
* 4baf6e3325 "cgroup: convert all non-memcg controllers to the new
cftype interface" builds upon the previous item. Resolved by adding
->base_cftypes to the relocated blkio_subsys.
