git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo: "Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups completely differently. There's no consistency among subsystems and the behaviors often are outright broken. People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need to be weeded out if any progress is gonna be made on this front and that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much sense when nested. This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for fixing them in the future. This was put in a separate branch because more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the memory cgroup wanted to pull in this and make changes on top." * 'for-3.7-hierarchy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them
2012-09-14cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups ↵Tejun Heo
are nested for them Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary memcg root handling per Michal. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Acked-by: Serge E.

2012-09-14cgroup: Assign subsystem IDs during compile timeDaniel Wagner
WARNING: With this change it is impossible to load external built controllers anymore. In case where CONFIG_NETPRIO_CGROUP=m and CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP=m is set, corresponding subsys_id should also be a constant. Up to now, net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id would be of the type int and the value would be assigned during runtime. By switching the macro definition IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED from IS_BUILTIN to IS_ENABLED, all *_subsys_id will have constant value. That means we need to remove all the code which assumes a value can be assigned to net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id. A close look is necessary on the RCU part which was introduces by following patch: commit f845172531fb7410c7fb7780b1a6e51ee6df7d52 Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Mon May 24 09:12:34 2010 Committer: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Mon May 24 09:12:34 2010 cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sock Tis code was added to init_cgroup_cls() /* We can't use rcu_assign_pointer because this is an int. */ smp_wmb(); net_cls_subsys_id = net_cls_subsys.subsys_id; respectively to exit_cgroup_cls() net_cls_subsys_id = -1; synchronize_rcu(); and in module version of task_cls_classid() rcu_read_lock(); id = rcu_dereference(net_cls_subsys_id); if (id >= 0) classid = container_of(task_subsys_state(p, id), struct cgroup_cls_state, css)->classid; rcu_read_unlock(); Without an explicit explaination why the RCU part is needed. (The rcu_deference was fixed by exchanging it to rcu_derefence_index_check() in a later commit, but that is a minor detail.) So here is my pondering why it was introduced and why it safe to remove it now. Note that this code was copied over to net_prio the reasoning holds for that subsystem too. The idea behind the RCU use for net_cls_subsys_id is to make sure we get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state(). task_subsys_state() is just blindly accessing the subsys array and returning the pointer. Obviously, passing in -1 as id into task_subsys_state() returns an invalid value (out of lower bound). So this code makes sure that only after module is loaded and the subsystem registered, the id is assigned. Before unregistering the module all old readers must have left the critical section. This is done by assigning -1 to the id and issuing a synchronized_rcu(). Any new readers wont call task_subsys_state() anymore and therefore it is safe to unregister the subsystem. The new code relies on the same trick, but it looks at the subsys pointer return by task_subsys_state() (remember the id is constant and therefore we allways have a valid index into the subsys array). No precautions need to be taken during module loading module. Eventually, all CPUs will get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state() because rebind_subsystem() which is called after the module init() function will assigned subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] the newly loaded module subsystem pointer. When the subsystem is about to be removed, rebind_subsystem() will called before the module exit() function. In this case, rebind_subsys() will assign subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] a NULL pointer and then it calls synchronize_rcu(). All old readers have left by then the critical section. Any new reader wont access the subsystem anymore. At this point we are safe to unregister the subsystem. No synchronize_rcu() call is needed.

2012-09-14cgroup: Wrap subsystem selection macroDaniel Wagner
Before we are able to define all subsystem ids at compile time we need a more fine grained control what gets defined when we include cgroup_subsys.h. For example we define the enums for the subsystems or to declare for struct cgroup_subsys (builtin subsystem) by including cgroup_subsys.h and defining SUBSYS accordingly. Currently, the decision if a subsys is used is defined inside the header by testing if CONFIG_*=y is true. By moving this test outside of cgroup_subsys.h we are able to control it on the include level. This is done by introducing IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED which then is defined according the task, e.g. is CONFIG_*=y or CONFIG_*=m.

2012-09-14cgroup: Remove CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNTDaniel Wagner
CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT is used as start index or stop index when looping over the subsys array looking either at the builtin or the module subsystems. Since all the builtin subsystems have an id which is lower then CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT we know that any module will have an id larger than CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT. In short the ids are sorted. We are about to change id assignment to happen only at compile time later in this series. That means we can't rely on the above trick since all ids will always be defined at compile time. Furthermore, ordering the builtin subsystems and the module subsystems is not really necessary. So we need a different way to know which subsystem is a builtin or a module one. We can use the subsys[]->module pointer for this. Any place where we need to know if a subsys is module we just check for the pointer. If it is NULL then the subsystem is a builtin one. With this we are able to drop the CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT enum. Though we need to introduce a temporary placeholder so that we don't get a compilation error when only CONFIG_CGROUP is selected and no single controller. An empty enum definition is not valid. Later in this series we are able to remove the placeholder again. And with this change we get a fix for this: kernel/cgroup.c: In function ‘cgroup_load_subsys’: kernel/cgroup.c:4326:38: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds] when CONFIG_CGROUP=y and no built in controller was enabled.

2012-08-24cgroup: revise how we re-populate root directoryAristeu Rozanski
When remounting cgroupfs with some subsystems added to it and some removed, cgroup will remove all the files in root directory and then re-popluate it. What I'm doing here is, only remove files which belong to subsystems that are to be unbinded, and only create files for newly-added subsystems. The purpose is to have all other files untouched.

2012-07-07cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount raceTejun Heo
48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means that cgroup dentries may linger for a while. Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code. As each cgroup dentry holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of superblock. Unfortunately, after 48ddbe1946, there's a small window while releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy. When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput(). This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but superblock's s_active is. If umount happens before or during this window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger BUG(). Before 48ddbe1946, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2) invocation which holds s_active around the whole process. Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe1946 and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the final cgroup dput().

48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means that cgroup dentries may linger for a while. cgroup_create() does grab an active reference on the superblock to prevent it from going away while there are !root cgroups; however, the reference is put from cgroup_diput() which is invoked on cgroup removal, so cgroup dentries which are removed but persisting due to lingering csses already have released their superblock active refs allowing superblock to be killed while those dentries are around. Given the right condition, this makes cgroup_kill_sb() call kill_litter_super() with dentries with non-zero d_count leading to BUG() in shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree(). Fix it by adding cgroup_dops->d_release() operation and moving deactivate_super() to it. cgroup_diput() now marks dentry->d_fsdata with itself if superblock should be deactivated and cgroup_d_release() deactivates the superblock on dentry release.

Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

Allowing kthreadd to be moved to a non-root group makes no sense, it being a global resource, and needlessly leads unsuspecting users toward trouble. 1. An RT workqueue worker thread spawned in a task group with no rt_runtime allocated is not schedulable. Simple user error, but harmful to the box. 2. A worker thread which acquires PF_THREAD_BOUND can never leave a cpuset, rendering the cpuset immortal. Save the user some unexpected trouble, just say no.

2012-04-01cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optionalTejun Heo
Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references. If there are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries ->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is cancelled. This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal implementation details (references to internal data structure) with externally visible operation (rmdir). To userland, this is a behavior peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations, this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang). Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new behavior. This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set. Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old behavior as proposed in the following patch. Note that the following patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and __css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251 Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please get moving.

2012-04-01cgroup: use negative bias on css->refcnt to block css_tryget()Tejun Heo
When a cgroup is about to be removed, cgroup_clear_css_refs() is called to check and ensure that there are no active css references. This is currently achieved by dropping the refcnt to zero iff it has only the base ref. If all css refs could be dropped to zero, ref clearing is successful and CSS_REMOVED is set on all css. If not, the base ref is restored. While css ref is zero w/o CSS_REMOVED set, any css_tryget() attempt on it busy loops so that they are atomic w.r.t. the whole css ref clearing. This does work but dropping and re-instating the base ref is somewhat hairy and makes it difficult to add more logic to the put path as there are two of them - the regular css_put() and the reversible base ref clearing. This patch updates css ref clearing such that blocking new css_tryget() and putting the base ref are separate operations. CSS_DEACT_BIAS, defined as INT_MIN, is added to css->refcnt and css_tryget() busy loops while refcnt is negative. After all css refs are deactivated, if they were all one, ref clearing succeeded and CSS_REMOVED is set and the base ref is put using the regular css_put(); otherwise, CSS_DEACT_BIAS is subtracted from the refcnts and the original postive values are restored. css_refcnt() accessor which always returns the unbiased positive reference counts is added and used to simplify refcnt usages. While at it, relocate and reformat comments in cgroup_has_css_refs(). This separates css->refcnt deactivation and putting the base ref, which enables the next patch to make ref clearing optional.

2012-04-01cgroup: introduce struct cfentTejun Heo
This patch adds cfent (cgroup file entry) which is the association between a cgroup and a file. This is in-cgroup representation of files under a cgroup directory. This simplifies walking walking cgroup files and thus cgroup_clear_directory(), which is now implemented in two parts - cgroup_rm_file() and a loop around it. cgroup_rm_file() will be used to implement cftype removal and cfent is scheduled to serve cgroup specific per-file data (e.g. for sysfs-like "sever" semantics). v2: - cfe was freed from cgroup_rm_file() which led to use-after-free if the file had openers at the time of removal. Moved to cgroup_diput(). - cgroup_clear_directory() triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() if d_subdirs wasn't empty after removing all files. This triggered spuriously if some files were open during directory clearing. Removed. v3: - In cgroup_diput(), WARN_ONCE(!list_empty(&cfe->node)) could be spuriously triggered for root cgroups because they don't go through cgroup_clear_directory() on unmount. Don't trigger WARN for root cgroups. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com>

2012-04-01cgroup: implement cgroup_add_cftypes() and friendsTejun Heo
Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate() callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation. This level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable. It provides largely unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions. Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be expressed with flags. This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes(). These deal with cftypes instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types of files exist for certain subsystem. Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on the root cgroup. cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target subsystem is currently attached or not. cgroup core will create files on the existing cgroups as necessary. Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the base files for the subsystem. If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys init / load. Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file based interface. Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of files to an active controller. This will be used for sub-controller modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term. This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any user. v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys which is loaded as module.

2012-03-29cgroup: cgroup_attach_task() could return -errno after successTejun Heo
61d1d219c4 "cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_set" made cgroup_task_migrate() return void. An unfortunate side effect was that cgroup_attach_task() was depending on that function's return value to clear its @retval on the success path. On cgroup mounts without any subsystem with ->can_attach() callback, cgroup_attach_task() ended up returning @retval without initializing it on success. For some reason, gcc failed to warn about it and it didn't cause cgroup_attach_task() to return non-zero value in many cases, probably due to difference in register allocation. When the problem materializes, systemd fails to populate /systemd cgroup mount and fails to boot. Fix it by initializing @retval to zero on declaration.

2012-02-21cgroup: Walk task list under tasklist_lock in cgroup_enable_task_cg_listFrederic Weisbecker
Walking through the tasklist in cgroup_enable_task_cg_list() inside an RCU read side critical section is not enough because: - RCU is not (yet) safe against while_each_thread() - If we use only RCU, a forking task that has passed cgroup_post_fork() without seeing use_task_css_set_links == 1 is not guaranteed to have its child immediately visible in the tasklist if we walk through it remotely with RCU. In this case it will be missing in its css_set's task list. Thus we need to traverse the list (unfortunately) under the tasklist_lock. It makes us safe against while_each_thread() and also make sure we see all forked task that have been added to the tasklist. As a secondary effect, reading and writing use_task_css_set_links are now well ordered against tasklist traversing and modification. The new layout is: CPU 0 CPU 1 use_task_css_set_links = 1 write_lock(tasklist_lock) read_lock(tasklist_lock) add task to tasklist do_each_thread() { write_unlock(tasklist_lock) add thread to css set links if (use_task_css_set_links) } while_each_thread() add thread to css set links read_unlock(tasklist_lock) If CPU 0 traverse the list after the task has been added to the tasklist then it is correctly added to the css set links. OTOH if CPU 0 traverse the tasklist before the new task had the opportunity to be added to the tasklist because it was too early in the fork process, then CPU 1 catches up and add the task to the css set links after it added the task to the tasklist. The right value of use_task_css_set_links is guaranteed to be visible from CPU 1 due to the LOCK/UNLOCK implicit barrier properties: the read_unlock on CPU 0 makes the write on use_task_css_set_links happening and the write_lock on CPU 1 make the read of use_task_css_set_links that comes afterward to return the correct value.

2012-01-30cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_setMandeep Singh Baines
In cgroup_attach_proc, we indirectly call find_existing_css_set 3 times. It is an expensive call so we want to call it a minimum of times. This patch only calls it once and stores the result so that it can be used later on when we call cgroup_task_migrate. This required modifying cgroup_task_migrate to take the new css_set (which we obtained from find_css_set) as a parameter. The nice side effect of this is that cgroup_task_migrate is now identical for cgroup_attach_task and cgroup_attach_proc. It also now returns a void since it can never fail.
