Fix NULL pointer dereference when adding new psi monitor to the root
cgroup. PSI files for root cgroup was introduced in df5ba5be742 by using
system wide psi struct when reading, but file write/monitor was not
properly fixed. Since the PSI config for the root cgroup isn't
initialized, the current implementation tries to lock a NULL ptr,
resulting in a crash.

Can be triggered by running this as root:
$ tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.pressure &lt;&lt;&lt; "some 10000 1000000"

With the deprecation of the non-hierarchical mode of the memory controller
there are no more examples of broken hierarchies left.

Let's remove the cgroup core code which was supposed to print warnings
about creating of broken hierarchies.

Patch series "mm: memcg: deprecate cgroup v1 non-hierarchical mode", v1.

The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days
of the memory controller and doesn't bring any value today.
However, it complicates the code and creates many edge cases
all over the memory controller code.

It's a good time to deprecate it completely. This patchset removes
the internal logic, adjusts the user interface and updates
the documentation. The alt patch removes some bits of the cgroup
core code, which become obsolete.

Michal Hocko said:
  "All that we know today is that we have a warning in place to complain
   loudly when somebody relies on use_hierarchy=0 with a deeper
   hierarchy. For all those years we have seen _zero_ reports that would
   describe a sensible usecase.

   Moreover we (SUSE) have backported this warning into old distribution
   kernels (since 3.0 based kernels) to extend the coverage and didn't
   hear even for users who adopt new kernels only very slowly. The only
   report we have seen so far was a LTP test suite which doesn't really
   reflect any real life usecase"

This patch (of 3):

The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days of the
memory controller and doesn't bring any value today.  However, it
complicates the code and creates many edge cases all over the memory
controller code.

It's a good time to deprecate it completely.

Functionally this patch enabled is by default for all cgroups and forbids
switching it off.  Nothing changes if cgroup v2 is used: hierarchical mode
was enforced from scratch.

To protect the ABI memory.use_hierarchy interface is preserved with a
limited functionality: reading always returns "1", writing of "1" passes
silently, writing of any other value fails with -EINVAL and a warning to
dmesg (on the first occasion).

Pull misc fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a
  single branch:

   - Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()

   - Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The
     lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types.
     Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
     these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
     counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
     place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
     for all namespaces.

   - Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's
     PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO uapi struct to prevent an info leak.

   - Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment
     annotation to the fallthrough keyword annotation which I had taken
     into my branch and into -next before df561f6688fe ("treewide: Use
     fallthrough pseudo-keyword") made it upstream which fixed this
     tree-wide.

     Since I didn't want to invalidate all testing for other commits I
     didn't rebase and kept them"

we have supplied the inline function: of_cft() in cgroup.h.

So replace the direct use 'of-&gt;kn-&gt;priv' with inline func

Do not report failure on zero sized writes, and handle them as no-op.

There's issues for example in case of writev() when there's iovec
containing zero buffer as a first one. It's expected writev() on below
example to successfully perform the write to specified writable cgroup
file expecting integer value, and to return 2. For now it's returning
value -1, and skipping the write:

	int writetest(int fd) {
	  const char *buf1 = "";
	  const char *buf2 = "1\n";
          struct iovec iov[2] = {
                { .iov_base = (void*)buf1, .iov_len = 0 },
                { .iov_base = (void*)buf2, .iov_len = 2 }
          };
	  return writev(fd, iov, 2);
	}

This patch fixes the issue by checking if there's nothing to write,
and handling the write as no-op by just returning 0.

This step is already done in rebind_subsystems().

Not necessary to do it again.
