2019-11-07cgroup: freezer: don't change task and cgroups status unnecessarilyHonglei Wang1-0/+9
It's not necessary to adjust the task state and revisit the state of source and destination cgroups if the cgroups are not in freeze state and the task itself is not frozen. And in this scenario, it wakes up the task who's not supposed to be ready to run. Don't do the unnecessary task state adjustment can help stop waking up the task without a reason.

2019-05-06cgroup: get rid of cgroup_freezer_frozen_exit()Roman Gushchin1-10/+0
A task should never enter the exit path with the task->frozen bit set. Any frozen task must enter the signal handling loop and the only way to escape is through cgroup_leave_frozen(true), which unconditionally drops the task->frozen bit. So it means that cgroyp_freezer_frozen_exit() has zero chances to be called and has to be removed. Let's put a WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of the cgroup_freezer_frozen_exit() call to catch any potential leak of the task's frozen bit.

2019-05-06cgroup: prevent spurious transition into non-frozen stateRoman Gushchin1-11/+5
If freezing of a cgroup races with waking of a task from the frozen state (like waiting in vfork() or in do_signal_stop()), a spurious transition of the cgroup state can happen. The task enters cgroup_leave_frozen(true), the cgroup->nr_frozen_tasks counter decrements, and the cgroup is switched to the unfrozen state. To prevent it, let's reserve cgroup_leave_frozen(true) for terminating processes and use cgroup_leave_frozen(false) otherwise. To avoid busy-looping in the signal handling loop waiting for JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE set from the cgroup freezing path, let's do it explicitly in cgroup_leave_frozen(), if the task is going to stay frozen.

2019-04-19cgroup: add tracing points for cgroup v2 freezerRoman Gushchin1-1/+14
Add cgroup:cgroup_freeze and cgroup:cgroup_unfreeze events, which are using the existing cgroup tracing infrastructure. Add the cgroup_event event class, which is similar to the cgroup class, but contains an additional integer field to store a new value (the level field is dropped). Also add two tracing events: cgroup_notify_populated and cgroup_notify_frozen, which are raised in a generic way using the TRACE_CGROUP_PATH() macro. This allows to trace cgroup state transitions and is generally helpful for debugging the cgroup freezer code. Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2019-04-19cgroup: cgroup v2 freezerRoman Gushchin1-0/+317
Cgroup v1 implements the freezer controller, which provides an ability to stop the workload in a cgroup and temporarily free up some resources (cpu, io, network bandwidth and, potentially, memory) for some other tasks. Cgroup v2 lacks this functionality. This patch implements freezer for cgroup v2. Cgroup v2 freezer tries to put tasks into a state similar to jobctl stop. This means that tasks can be killed, ptraced (using PTRACE_SEIZE*), and interrupted. It is possible to attach to a frozen task, get some information (e.g. read registers) and detach. It's also possible to migrate a frozen tasks to another cgroup. This differs cgroup v2 freezer from cgroup v1 freezer, which mostly tried to imitate the system-wide freezer. However uninterruptible sleep is fine when all tasks are going to be frozen (hibernation case), it's not the acceptable state for some subset of the system. Cgroup v2 freezer is not supporting freezing kthreads. If a non-root cgroup contains kthread, the cgroup still can be frozen, but the kthread will remain running, the cgroup will be shown as non-frozen, and the notification will not be delivered. * PTRACE_ATTACH is not working because non-fatal signal delivery is blocked in frozen state. There are some interface differences between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 freezer too, which are required to conform the cgroup v2 interface design principles: 1) There is no separate controller, which has to be turned on: the functionality is always available and is represented by cgroup.freeze and cgroup.events cgroup control files. 2) The desired state is defined by the cgroup.freeze control file. Any hierarchical configuration is allowed. 3) The interface is asynchronous. The actual state is available using cgroup.events control file ("frozen" field). There are no dedicated transitional states. 4) It's allowed to make any changes with the cgroup hierarchy (create new cgroups, remove old cgroups, move tasks between cgroups) no matter if some cgroups are frozen.

2019-04-19cgroup: rename freezer.c into legacy_freezer.cRoman Gushchin1-481/+0
Freezer.c will contain an implementation of cgroup v2 freezer, so let's rename the v1 freezer to avoid naming conflicts. Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: kernel-team@fb.com
2017-07-21cgroup: add @flags to css_task_iter_start() and implement CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCSTejun Heo1-3/+3
css_task_iter currently always walks all tasks. With the scheduled cgroup v2 thread support, the iterator would need to handle multiple types of iteration. As a preparation, add @flags to css_task_iter_start() and implement CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS. If the flag is not specified, it walks all tasks as before. When asserted, the iterator only walks the group leaders. For now, the only user of the flag is cgroup v2 "cgroup.procs" file which no longer needs to skip non-leader tasks in cgroup_procs_next(). Note that cgroup v1 "cgroup.procs" can't use the group leader walk as v1 "cgroup.procs" doesn't mean "list all thread group leaders in the cgroup" but "list all thread group id's with any threads in the cgroup". While at it, update cgroup_procs_show() to use task_pid_vnr() instead of task_tgid_vnr(). As the iteration guarantees that the function only sees group leaders, this doesn't change the output and will allow sharing the function for thread iteration.
