[PATCH v8 -tip 17/26] sched: Split the cookie and setup per-task cookie on fork

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Mon Oct 19 2020 - 21:46:42 EST


In order to prevent interference and clearly support both per-task and CGroup
APIs, split the cookie into 2 and allow it to be set from either per-task, or
CGroup API. The final cookie is the combined value of both and is computed when
the stop-machine executes during a change of cookie.

Also, for the per-task cookie, it will get weird if we use pointers of any
emphemeral objects. For this reason, introduce a refcounted object who's sole
purpose is to assign unique cookie value by way of the object's pointer.

While at it, refactor the CGroup code a bit. Future patches will introduce more
APIs and support.
