We have a need of using favordynmods with cgroup v1, which doesn't support
changing mount flags during remount. Enabling CONFIG_FAVOR_DYNMODS at
build-time is not an option because we want to be able to selectively
enable it for certain systems.

This commit addresses this by introducing the cgroup_favordynmods=
command-line option. This option works for both cgroup v1 and v2 and
also allows for disabling favorynmods when the kernel built with
CONFIG_FAVOR_DYNMODS=y.

Hi,

Would somebody take a look at this patch please?

Thanks,

- Luiz

The patch looks good to me. I do have a minor comment that it may be better to use the relatively new __ro_after_init qualifier instead of __read_mostly.

With this patch, CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS kconfig option will have no user. So this config option should be removed as well.

My bad. That is not true. Please ignore this comment.

Longman
