2018-09-09Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad1-26/+0
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

2017-07-10mm, vmpressure: pass-through notification supportDavid Rientjes1-12/+35
By default, vmpressure events are not pass-through, i.e. they propagate up through the memcg hierarchy until an event notifier is found for any threshold level. This presents a difficulty when a thread waiting on a read(2) for a vmpressure event cannot distinguish between local memory pressure and memory pressure in a descendant memcg, especially when that thread may not control the memcg hierarchy. Consider a user-controlled child memcg with a smaller limit than a top-level memcg controlled by the "Activity Manager" specified in Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt. It may register for memory pressure notification for descendant memcgs to make a policy decision: oom kill a low priority job, increase the limit, decrease other limits, etc. If it registers for memory pressure notification on the top-level memcg, it currently cannot distinguish between memory pressure in its own memcg or a descendant memcg, which is user-controlled. Conversely, if a user registers for memory pressure notification on their own descendant memcg, the Activity Manager does not receive any pressure notification for that child memcg hierarchy. Vmpressure events are not received for ancestor memcgs if the memcg experiencing pressure have notifiers registered, perhaps outside the knowledge of the thread waiting on read(2) at the top level. Both of these are consequences of vmpressure notification not being pass-through. This implements a pass-through behavior for vmpressure events. When writing to control.event_control, vmpressure event handlers may optionally specify a mode. There are two new modes: - "hierarchy": always propagate memory pressure events up the hierarchy regardless if descendant memcgs have their own notifiers registered, and - "local": only receive notifications when the memcg for which the event is registered experiences memory pressure. Of course, processes may register for one notification of "low,local", for example, and another for "low". If no mode is specified, the current behavior is maintained for backwards compatibility. See the change to Documentation/cgroup-v1/memory.txt for full specification.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "Several noteworthy changes. - Parav's rdma controller is finally merged. It is very straight forward and can limit the abosolute numbers of common rdma constructs used by different cgroups. - kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for backporting patches but was long overdue. - cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway. - perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This patch was posted a long time ago but somehow fell through the cracks. - misc fixes asnd documentation updates" * 'for-4.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (27 commits) kernfs: fix locking around kernfs_ops->release() callback cgroup: drop the matching uid requirement on migration for cgroup v2 cgroup, perf_event: make perf_event controller work on cgroup2 hierarchy cgroup: misc cleanups cgroup: call subsys->*attach() only for subsystems which are actually affected by migration cgroup: track migration context in cgroup_mgctx cgroup: cosmetic update to cgroup_taskset_add() rdmacg: Fixed uninitialized current resource usage cgroup: Add missing cgroup-v2 PID controller documentation. rdmacg: Added documentation for rdmacg IB/core: added support to use rdma cgroup controller rdmacg: Added rdma cgroup controller cgroup: fix a comment typo cgroup: fix RCU related sparse warnings cgroup: move namespace code to kernel/cgroup/namespace.c cgroup: rename functions for consistency cgroup: move v1 mount functions to kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c cgroup: separate out cgroup1_kf_syscall_ops cgroup: refactor mount path and clearly distinguish v1 and v2 paths cgroup: move cgroup v1 specific code to kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c ...

2016-07-28mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the nodeMel Gorman2-4/+4
Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking. This is a preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming from different zones.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the addition of cgroup namespace support. - The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those places implemented custom operations for each specific use case assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes the code fragile and difficult to follow. The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that most related operations are performed through common helpers which implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently) and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand, verify and extend. - Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2 path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are still pending review. - cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in certain environments. - There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this pull request w/ stable cc'd. - Misc non-critical fixes and improvements" * 'for-4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (44 commits) cgroup: avoid false positive gcc-6 warning cgroup: ignore css_sets associated with dead cgroups during migration Documentation: cgroup v2: Trivial heading correction. cgroup: implement cgroup_subsys->implicit_on_dfl cgroup: use css_set->mg_dst_cgrp for the migration target cgroup cgroup: make cgroup[_taskset]_migrate() take cgroup_root instead of cgroup cgroup: move migration destination verification out of cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() cgroup: fix incorrect destination cgroup in cgroup_update_dfl_csses() cgroup: Trivial correction to reflect controller. cgroup: remove stale item in cgroup-v1 document INDEX file. cgroup: update css iteration in cgroup_update_dfl_csses() cgroup: allocate 2x cgrp_cset_links when setting up a new root cgroup: make cgroup_calc_subtree_ss_mask() take @this_ss_mask cgroup: reimplement rebind_subsystems() using cgroup_apply_control() and friends cgroup: use cgroup_apply_enable_control() in cgroup creation path cgroup: combine cgroup_mutex locking and offline css draining cgroup: factor out cgroup_{apply|finalize}_control() from cgroup_subtree_control_write() cgroup: introduce cgroup_{save|propagate|restore}_control() cgroup: make cgroup_drain_offline() and cgroup_apply_control_{disable|enable}() recursive cgroup: factor out cgroup_apply_control_enable() from cgroup_subtree_control_write() ...
