Merge branch 'for-5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - Christian extended clone3 so that processes can be spawned into cgroups directly. This is not only neat in terms of semantics but also avoids grabbing the global cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem for migration. - Daniel added !root xattr support to cgroupfs. Userland already uses xattrs on cgroupfs for bookkeeping. This will allow delegated cgroups to support such usages. - Prateek tried to make cpuset hotplug handling synchronous but that led to possible deadlock scenarios. Reverted. - Other minor changes including release_agent_path handling cleanup. * 'for-5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: docs: cgroup-v1: Document the cpuset_v2_mode mount option Revert "cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug synchronous" cgroupfs: Support user xattrs kernfs: Add option to enable user xattrs kernfs: Add removed_size out param for simple_xattr_set kernfs: kvmalloc xattr value instead of kmalloc cgroup: Restructure release_agent_path handling selftests/cgroup: add tests for cloning into cgroups clone3: allow spawning processes into cgroups cgroup: add cgroup_may_write() helper cgroup: refactor fork helpers cgroup: add cgroup_get_from_file() helper cgroup: unify attach permission checking cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug synchronous cgroup.c: Use built-in RCU list checking kselftest/cgroup: add cgroup destruction test cgroup: Clean up css_set task traversal

+The cpuset.effective_cpus and cpuset.effective_mems files are
+normally read-only copies of cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems files
+respectively. If the cpuset cgroup filesystem is mounted with the
+special "cpuset_v2_mode" option, the behavior of these files will become
+similar to the corresponding files in cpuset v2. In other words, hotplug
+events will not change cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems. Those events will
+only affect cpuset.effective_cpus and cpuset.effective_mems which show
+the actual cpus and memory nodes that are currently used by this cpuset.
