Re: [PATCH] cgroup: Keep favordynmods enabled once per-threadgroup rwsem is active

Hello, Guopeng.

Thanks for the patch.

I don't think this is worth changing. The mechanism is one-way, so on a
disable attempt show_options has to lie one way or the other: clear the flag
and it reports nofavordynmods while per-threadgroup rwsem is still in effect,
keep the flag and it reports favordynmods after the user asked to turn it
off. The pr_warn_once is what actually tells the user what happened. Neither
flag choice is meaningfully better, and the underlying ambiguity is out of
scope to address here. Without a stronger justification I'd rather leave the
existing behavior alone.

Thanks.
