PF_EXITING is set earlier than actual removal from css_set when a task
is exitting. This can confuse cgroup.procs readers who see no PF_EXITING
tasks, however, rmdir is checking against css_set membership so it can
transitionally fail with EBUSY.

Fix this by listing tasks that weren't unlinked from css_set active
lists.
It may happen that other users of the task iterator (without
CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS) spot a PF_EXITING task before cgroup_exit(). This
is equal to the state before commit c03cd7738a83 ("cgroup: Include dying
leaders with live threads in PROCS iterations") but it may be reviewed
later.

Yeah, this looks fine to me.  Any chance you can order this before the
clean up so that we can mark it for -stable.

Thanks.

+1 for reordering. Makes it easier to backport.
Thanks,

The grounds still need to be prepared for css_task_iter to store
additional information. Let me see how the preceding changes can be
minimized.

Hi,
thanks for your feedback. I'm sending updated solution that changes task
iteration to be consistent with cgroup_is_populated() check and moving the
responsibility to check PF_EXITING on the consumers of iterator API.

Changes from v1
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200117151533.12381-1-mkoutny@suse.com/
- Swap the fixing and refactoring patch (in order to make the fix easier for
  backport)
- Don't introduce tasks lists array because of unnecessarily long access code
- Fix comment in selftest
- I leave the CC:stable on discretion of the maintainer
