cgroup: Merge branch 'memcg_event' into for-3.14
Merge v3.12 based patch series to move cgroup_event implementation to memcg into for-3.14. The following two commits cause a conflict in kernel/cgroup.c 2ff2a7d03bbe4 ("cgroup: kill css_id") 79bd9814e5ec9 ("cgroup, memcg: move cgroup_event implementation to memcg") Each patch removes a struct definition from kernel/cgroup.c. As the two are adjacent, they cause a context conflict. Easily resolved by removing both structs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

-2.4 Notification API
---------------------
-
-There is mechanism which allows to get notifications about changing
-status of a cgroup.
-
-To register a new notification handler you need to:
- - create a file descriptor for event notification using eventfd(2);
- - open a control file to be monitored (e.g. memory.usage_in_bytes);
- - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
- Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;
-
-eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
-cgroup is removed.
-
-To unregister a notification handler just close eventfd.
-
-NOTE: Support of notifications should be implemented for the control
-file. See documentation for the subsystem.
