2009-04-02pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safeOleg Nesterov1-7/+20
Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy. task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current. As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu. However, if task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust task->group_leader without the special checks. And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix. Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say, task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical". This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers. After this I'll send another patch which converts task_tgid_xxx() as well, they're are a bit special.

2009-04-02pids: document task_pgrp/task_session is not safe without tasklist/rcuOleg Nesterov1-0/+5
Even if task == current, it is not safe to dereference the result of task_pgrp/task_session. We can race with another thread which changes the special pid via setpgid/setsid. Document this. The next 2 patches give an example of the unsafe usage, we have more bad users.

2009-04-02ptrace: fix possible zombie leak on PTRACE_DETACHOleg Nesterov1-0/+1
When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed. If it has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because a) ptracing disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent was not notified about the child's death. ptrace_detach() should follow the ptrace_exit's logic, change the code accordingly.

2009-04-02signals: remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functionsOleg Nesterov1-9/+4
Container-init must behave like global-init to processes within the container and hence it must be immune to unhandled fatal signals from within the container (i.e SIG_DFL signals that terminate the process). But the same container-init must behave like a normal process to processes in ancestor namespaces and so if it receives the same fatal signal from a process in ancestor namespace, the signal must be processed. Implementing these semantics requires that send_signal() determine pid namespace of the sender but since signals can originate from workqueues/ interrupt-handlers, determining pid namespace of sender may not always be possible or safe. This patchset implements the design/simplified semantics suggested by Oleg Nesterov. The simplified semantics for container-init are: - container-init must never be terminated by a signal from a descendant process. - container-init must never be immune to SIGKILL from an ancestor namespace (so a process in parent namespace must always be able to terminate a descendant container). - container-init may be immune to unhandled fatal signals (like SIGUSR1) even if they are from ancestor namespace. SIGKILL/SIGSTOP are the only reliable signals to a container-init from ancestor namespace. This patch: Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments from Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258). The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions. Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the functions can check the handler if they later need to. Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on patch.

2009-04-02cgroups: use css id in swap cgroup for saving memory v5KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-7/+6
Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup. By this, on 64bit machine, size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes. This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes) From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes. To size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes. Reduction is large. Of course, there are trade-offs. This CSS ID will add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free. But in general, - swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use. - If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used. - Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now. I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense. Note: - ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side. - memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from swap_cgroup is available. Changelog v4->v5: - reworked on to memcg-charge-swapcache-to-proper-memcg.patch Changlog ->v4: - fixed not configured case. - deleted unnecessary comments. - fixed NULL pointer bug. - fixed message in dmesg.

2009-04-02memcg: fix OOM killer under memcgKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+1
This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy. Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to kill a task in memcg. But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot be killed. For example, in following cgroup /groupA/ hierarchy=1, limit=1G, 01 nolimit 02 nolimit All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA. This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated. To see how oom_jiffies is used, please check mem_cgroup_oom_called() callers.

2009-04-02cgroup: fix frequent -EBUSY at rmdirKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+5
In following situation, with memory subsystem, /groupA use_hierarchy==1 /01 some tasks /02 some tasks /03 some tasks /04 empty When tasks under 01/02/03 hit limit on /groupA, hierarchical reclaim is triggered and the kernel walks tree under groupA. In this case, rmdir /groupA/04 fails with -EBUSY frequently because of temporal refcnt from the kernel. In general. cgroup can be rmdir'd if there are no children groups and no tasks. Frequent fails of rmdir() is not useful to users. (And the reason for -EBUSY is unknown to users.....in most cases) This patch tries to modify above behavior, by - retries if css_refcnt is got by someone. - add "return value" to pre_destroy() and allows subsystem to say "we're really busy!"

2009-04-02cgroup: CSS ID supportKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2-0/+51
Patch for Per-CSS(Cgroup Subsys State) ID and private hierarchy code. This patch attaches unique ID to each css and provides following. - css_lookup(subsys, id) returns pointer to struct cgroup_subysys_state of id. - css_get_next(subsys, id, rootid, depth, foundid) returns the next css under "root" by scanning When cgroup_subsys->use_id is set, an id for css is maintained. The cgroup framework only parepares - css_id of root css for subsys - id is automatically attached at creation of css. - id is *not* freed automatically. Because the cgroup framework don't know lifetime of cgroup_subsys_state. free_css_id() function is provided. This must be called by subsys. There are several reasons to develop this. - Saving space .... For example, memcg's swap_cgroup is array of pointers to cgroup. But it is not necessary to be very fast. By replacing pointers(8bytes per ent) to ID (2byes per ent), we can reduce much amount of memory usage. - Scanning without lock. CSS_ID provides "scan id under this ROOT" function. By this, scanning css under root can be written without locks. ex) do { rcu_read_lock(); next = cgroup_get_next(subsys, id, root, &found); /* check sanity of next here */ css_tryget(); rcu_read_unlock(); id = found + 1 } while(...) Characteristics: - Each css has unique ID under subsys. - Lifetime of ID is controlled by subsys. - css ID contains "ID" and "Depth in hierarchy" and stack of hierarchy - Allowed ID is 1-65535, ID 0 is UNUSED ID. Design Choices: - scan-by-ID v.s. scan-by-tree-walk. As /proc's pid scan does, scan-by-ID is robust when scanning is done by following kind of routine. scan -> rest a while(release a lock) -> conitunue from interrupted memcg's hierarchical reclaim does this. - When subsys->use_id is set, # of css in the system is limited to 65535.

2009-04-02nommu: fix a number of issues with the per-MM VMA patchDavid Howells1-1/+1
Fix a number of issues with the per-MM VMA patch: (1) Make mmap_pages_allocated an atomic_long_t, just in case this is used on a NOMMU system with more than 2G pages. Makes no difference on a 32-bit system. (2) Report vma->vm_pgoff * PAGE_SIZE as a 64-bit value, not a 32-bit value, lest it overflow. (3) Move the allocation of the vm_area_struct slab back for fork.c. (4) Use KMEM_CACHE() for both vm_area_struct and vm_region slabs. (5) Use BUG_ON() rather than if () BUG(). (6) Make the default validate_nommu_regions() a static inline rather than a #define. (7) Make free_page_series()'s objection to pages with a refcount != 1 more informative. (8) Adjust the __put_nommu_region() banner comment to indicate that the semaphore must be held for writing. (9) Limit the number of warnings about munmaps of non-mmapped regions.

2009-04-02dm raid1: add is_remote_recovering hook for clustersJonathan Brassow1-0/+10
The logging API needs an extra function to make cluster mirroring possible. This new function allows us to check whether a mirror region is being recovered on another machine in the cluster. This helps us prevent simultaneous recovery I/O and process I/O to the same locations on disk. Cluster-aware log modules will implement this function. Single machine log modules will not. So, there is no performance penalty for single machine mirrors.

2009-04-02dm log: remove struct dm_dirty_log_internalMike Snitzer1-0/+3

2009-04-01dw_dmac: add cyclic API to DW DMA driverHans-Christian Egtvedt1-0/+19
This patch adds a cyclic DMA interface to the DW DMA driver. This is very useful if you want to use the DMA controller in combination with a sound device which uses cyclic buffers. Using a DMA channel for cyclic DMA will disable the possibility to use it as a normal DMA engine until the user calls the cyclic free function on the DMA channel. Also a cyclic DMA list can not be prepared if the channel is already active.
