SubjectRe: [PATCH] cgroup: wait for css offline when rmdir
Hello,

It'd be better to wait for some group of operations to complete than
inserting explicit delays.

Oh, you're hitting the memcg ID limit, not the css one. Memcg id is limited
so that it doesn't consume as many bits in, I guess, struct page. I don't
think it'd make sense to increase overall overhead to solve this rather
artificial problem tho.

Maybe just keep the sequence numbers for started and completed offline
operations and wait for completed# to reach the started# on memcg alloc
failure and retry? Note that we can get live locked, so have to remember the
sequence number to wait for at the beginning. Or, even simpler, maybe it'd
be enough to just do synchronize_rcu() and then wait for the offline wait
once and retry.

Thanks.
