2009-10-01cgroup: catch bad css refcnt at css_putKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+4

2009-09-24cgroups: let ss->can_attach and ss->attach do whole threadgroups at a timeBen Blum1-2/+2
Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.) Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right information.

Changes css_set freeing mechanism to be under RCU This is a prepatch for making the procs file writable.

2009-09-24cgroups: ensure correct concurrent opening/reading of pidlists across pid namespacesBen Blum1-17/+90
Previously there was the problem in which two processes from different pid namespaces reading the tasks or procs file could result in one process seeing results from the other's namespace. Rather than one pidlist for each file in a cgroup, we now keep a list of pidlists keyed by namespace and file type (tasks versus procs) in which entries are placed on demand. Each pidlist has its own lock, and that the pidlists themselves are passed around in the seq_file's private pointer means we don't have to touch the cgroup or its master list except when creating and destroying entries.

2009-09-24cgroups: add a read-only "procs" file similar to "tasks" that shows only unique tgidsBen Blum1-106/+172
struct cgroup used to have a bunch of fields for keeping track of the pidlist for the tasks file. Those are now separated into a new struct cgroup_pidlist, of which two are had, one for procs and one for tasks. The way the seq_file operations are set up is changed so that just the pidlist struct gets passed around as the private data. Interface example: Suppose a multithreaded process has pid 1000 and other threads with ids 1001, 1002, 1003: $ cat tasks 1000 1001 1002 1003 $ cat cgroup.procs 1000 $ Signed-off-by: Ben Blum <bblum@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Matt Helsley <matthltc@us.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

2009-09-24cgroups: revert "cgroups: fix pid namespace bug"Paul Menage1-71/+24
The following series adds a "cgroup.procs" file to each cgroup that reports unique tgids rather than pids, and allows all threads in a threadgroup to be atomically moved to a new cgroup. The subsystem "attach" interface is modified to support attaching whole threadgroups at a time, which could introduce potential problems if any subsystem were to need to access the old cgroup of every thread being moved. The attach interface may need to be revised if this becomes the case. Also added is functionality for read/write locking all CLONE_THREAD fork()ing within a threadgroup, by means of an rwsem that lives in the sighand_struct, for per-threadgroup-ness and also for sharing a cacheline with the sighand's atomic count. This scheme should introduce no extra overhead in the fork path when there's no contention. The final patch reveals potential for a race when forking before a subsystem's attach function is called - one potential solution in case any subsystem has this problem is to hang on to the group's fork mutex through the attach() calls, though no subsystem yet demonstrates need for an extended critical section.

2009-09-24cgroups: allow cgroup hierarchies to be created with no bound subsystemsPaul Menage1-59/+99
This patch removes the restriction that a cgroup hierarchy must have at least one bound subsystem. The mount option "none" is treated as an explicit request for no bound subsystems. A hierarchy with no subsystems can be useful for plain task tracking, and is also a step towards the support for multiply-bindable subsystems. As part of this change, the hierarchy id is no longer calculated from the bitmask of subsystems in the hierarchy (since this is not guaranteed to be unique) but is allocated via an ida. Reference counts on cgroups from css_set objects are now taken explicitly one per hierarchy, rather than one per subsystem.

2009-09-24cgroups: add a back-pointer from struct cg_cgroup_link to struct cgroupPaul Menage1-49/+199
Currently the cgroups code makes the assumption that the subsystem pointers in a struct css_set uniquely identify the hierarchy->cgroup mappings associated with the css_set; and there's no way to directly identify the associated set of cgroups other than by indirecting through the appropriate subsystem state pointers. This patch removes the need for that assumption by adding a back-pointer from struct cg_cgroup_link object to its associated cgroup; this allows the set of cgroups to be determined by traversing the cg_links list in the struct css_set.

2009-07-29cgroups: fix pid namespace bugLi Zefan1-24/+72
The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844 ("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array"). We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks" file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids from that namespace instead of their own namespaces. To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns. The list will be of length 1 at most time.

The 'noprefix' option was introduced for backwards-compatibility of cpuset, but actually it can be used when mounting other subsystems. This results in possibility of name collision, and now the collision can really happen, because we have 'stat' file in both memory and cpuacct subsystem: # mount -t cgroup -o noprefix,memory,cpuacct xxx /mnt Cgroup will happily mount the 2 subsystems, but only 'stat' file of memory subsys can be seen. We don't want users to use nopreifx, and also want to avoid name collision, so we change to allow noprefix only if mounting just the cpuset subsystem.

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.

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.

2009-04-02cgroup: CSS ID supportKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-1/+285
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.

2009-03-27vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return voidSukadev Bhattiprolu1-1/+2
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails. Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not return anything.

2009-02-11cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflowLi Zefan1-1/+2
I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then: # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt # mkdir /mnt/0 This showed up immediately: BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low! turning off the locking correctness validator. It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock: for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) { struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i]; if (ss->root == root) mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i); } Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8. This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

2009-01-08cgroups: add css_tryget()Paul Menage1-5/+56
Add css_tryget(), that obtains a counted reference on a CSS. It is used in situations where the caller has a "weak" reference to the CSS, i.e. one that does not protect the cgroup from removal via a reference count, but would instead be cleaned up by a destroy() callback. css_tryget() will return true on success, or false if the cgroup is being removed. This is similar to Kamezawa Hiroyuki's patch from a week or two ago, but with the difference that in the event of css_tryget() racing with a cgroup_rmdir(), css_tryget() will only return false if the cgroup really does get removed. This implementation is done by biasing css->refcnt, so that a refcnt of 1 means "releasable" and 0 means "released or releasing". In the event of a race, css_tryget() distinguishes between "released" and "releasing" by checking for the CSS_REMOVED flag in css->flags.

2009-01-08cgroups: add a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutexPaul Menage1-2/+35
These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock(). This will ultimately allow the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() (which was removed recently) to be restored. These three patches give: 1/3 - introduce a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex which a subsystem can use to prevent changes to its own cgroup tree 2/3 - use hierarchy_mutex in place of calling cgroup_lock() in the memory controller 3/3 - introduce a css_tryget() function similar to the one recently proposed by Kamezawa, but avoiding spurious refcount failures in the event of a race between a css_tryget() and an unsuccessful cgroup_rmdir() Future patches will likely involve: - using hierarchy mutex in place of cgroup_lock() in more subsystems where appropriate - restoring the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() with respect to cgroup_create() This patch: Add a hierarchy_mutex to the cgroup_subsys object that protects changes to the hierarchy observed by that subsystem. It is taken by the cgroup subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations: - linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree - unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree - moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the bind() callback) Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely traverse its own hierarchy.

2009-01-08cgroups: make cgroup_path() RCU-safePaul Menage1-9/+21
Fix races between /proc/sched_debug by freeing cgroup objects via an RCU callback. Thus any cgroup reference obtained from an RCU-safe source will remain valid during the RCU section. Since dentries are also RCU-safe, this allows us to traverse up the tree safely. Additionally, make cgroup_path() check for a NULL cgrp->dentry to avoid trying to report a path for a partially-created cgroup.

In cgroup_attach_task(), tsk maybe exit when we call find_css_set(). and find_css_set() will access to invalid css_set. This patch increases the count before get_css_set(), and decreases it after find_css_set(). NOTE: css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held. but I reviewed other code which use taskcount, they are still correct. No regression found by reviewing and simply testing. So I do not use two counters in css_set. (one counter for taskcount, the other for refcount. like struct mm_struct) If this fix cause regression, we will use two counters in css_set.
