2009-04-02memcg: fix OOM killer under memcgKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
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.

2009-04-02memcg: fix shrinking memory to return -EBUSY by fixing retry algorithmKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
As pointed out, shrinking memcg's limit should return -EBUSY after reasonable retries. This patch tries to fix the current behavior of shrink_usage. Before looking into "shrink should return -EBUSY" problem, we should fix hierarchical reclaim code. It compares current usage and current limit, but it only makes sense when the kernel reclaims memory because hit limits. This is also a problem. What this patch does are. 1. add new argument "shrink" to hierarchical reclaim. If "shrink==true", hierarchical reclaim returns immediately and the caller checks the kernel should shrink more or not. (At shrinking memory, usage is always smaller than limit. So check for usage < limit is useless.) 2. For adjusting to above change, 2 changes in "shrink"'s retry path. 2-a. retry_count depends on # of children because the kernel visits the children under hierarchy one by one. 2-b. rather than checking return value of hierarchical_reclaim's progress, compares usage-before-shrink and usage-after-shrink. If usage-before-shrink <= usage-after-shrink, retry_count is decremented.

Clean up memory.stat file routine and show "total" hierarchical stat. This patch does - renamed get_all_zonestat to be get_local_zonestat. - remove old mem_cgroup_stat_desc, which is only for per-cpu stat. - add mcs_stat to cover both of per-cpu/per-lru stat. - add "total" stat of hierarchy (*) - add a callback system to scan all memcg under a root. == "total" is added.

2009-04-02memcg: use CSS IDKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Assigning CSS ID for each memcg and use css_get_next() for scanning hierarchy. Assume folloing tree. group_A (ID=3) /01 (ID=4) /0A (ID=7) /02 (ID=10) group_B (ID=5) and task in group_A/01/0A hits limit at group_A. reclaim will be done in following order (round-robin). group_A(3) -> group_A/01 (4) -> group_A/01/0A (7) -> group_A/02(10) -> group_A -> ..... Round robin by ID. The last visited cgroup is recorded and restart from it when it start reclaim again. (More smart algorithm can be implemented..) No cgroup_mutex or hierarchy_mutex is required.

2009-04-02cgroups: don't change release_agent when remount failedLi Zefan
Remount can fail in either case: - wrong mount options is specified, or option 'noprefix' is changed. - a to-be-added subsys is already mounted/active. When using remount to change 'release_agent', for the above former failure case, remount will return errno with release_agent unchanged, but for the latter case, remount will return EBUSY with relase_agent changed, which is unexpected I think: # mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /cgrp1 # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,release_agent=agent1 yyy /cgrp2 # cat /cgrp2/release_agent agent1 # mount -t cgroup -o remount,cpuset,noprefix,release_agent=agent2 yyy /cgrp2 mount: /cgrp2 not mounted already, or bad option # cat /cgrp2/release_agent agent1 <-- ok # mount -t cgroup -o remount,cpu,cpuset,release_agent=agent2 yyy /cgrp2 mount: /cgrp2 is busy # cat /cgrp2/release_agent agent2 <-- unexpected!

2009-04-02cgroup: fix frequent -EBUSY at rmdirKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
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 Hiroyuki
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.

This commit relaxes this restriction and makes it possible to attach tasks directly to grandchild cgroups, e.g.: ($pid is in the root cgroup) echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks Previously this operation would fail with -EPERM and would have to be performed as two steps: echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/tasks echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks Also, the target cgroup no longer needs to be empty to move a task there.

2009-04-02ext3: avoid false EIO errorsJan Kara
Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been paged out in the mean time). We then end up with !uptodate mapped buffers. To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if we didn't succeed with copying all the data. Commit f4fc66a894546bdc88a775d0e83ad20a65210bcb (ext3: convert to new aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about their data ;-P. This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's lists. We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size (i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

2009-04-02ext3: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inodeBryan Donlan
ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

2009-04-02memory_accessor: implement the new memory_accessor interface for I2C EEPROMKevin Hilman
In the case of at24, the platform code registers a 'setup' callback with the at24_platform_data. When the at24 driver detects an EEPROM, it fills out the read and write functions of the memory_accessor and calls the setup callback passing the memory_accessor struct. The platform code can then use the read/write functions in the memory_accessor struct for reading and writing the EEPROM.

2009-04-02workqueue: add to_delayed_work() helper functionJean Delvare
It is a fairly common operation to have a pointer to a work and to need a pointer to the delayed work it is contained in. In particular, all delayed works which want to rearm themselves will have to do that. So it would seem fair to offer a helper function for this operation.

The missing device table means that the floppy module is not auto-loaded, even when the appropriate PNP device (0700) is found. We don't actually use the table in the module, since the device doesn't have a struct pnp_driver, but it's sufficient to cause an alias in the module that udev/modprobe will use.

2009-04-02mm: define a UNIQUE value for AS_UNEVICTABLE flagLee Schermerhorn
A new "address_space flag"--AS_MM_ALL_LOCKS--was defined to use the next available AS flag while the Unevictable LRU was under development. The Unevictable LRU was using the same flag and "no one" noticed. Current mainline, since 2.6.28, has same value for two symbolic flag names. So, define a unique flag value for AS_UNEVICTABLE--up close to the other flags, [at the cost of an additional #ifdef] so we'll notice next time. Note that #ifdef is not actually required, if we don't mind having the unused flag value defined. Replace #defines with an enum.

2009-04-02mm: do_xip_mapping_read: fix length calculationMartin Schwidefsky
The calculation of the value nr in do_xip_mapping_read is incorrect. If the copy required more than one iteration in the do while loop the copies variable will be non-zero. The maximum length that may be passed to the call to copy_to_user(buf+copied, xip_mem+offset, nr) is len-copied but the check only compares against (nr > len).

2009-04-02writeback: guard against jiffies wraparound on inode->dirtied_when checks ↵Jeff Layton
(try #3) The dirtied_when value on an inode is supposed to represent the first time that an inode has one of its pages dirtied. This value is in units of jiffies. It's used in several places in the writeback code to determine when to write out an inode. The problem is that these checks assume that dirtied_when is updated periodically. If an inode is continuously being used for I/O it can be persistently marked as dirty and will continue to age. Once the time compared to is greater than or equal to half the maximum of the jiffies type, the logic of the time_*() macros inverts and the opposite of what is needed is returned. On 32-bit architectures that's just under 25 days (assuming HZ == 1000). As the least-recently dirtied inode, it'll end up being the first one that pdflush will try to write out. sync_sb_inodes does this check: /* Was this inode dirtied after sync_sb_inodes was called? */ if (time_after(inode->dirtied_when, start)) break; ...but now dirtied_when appears to be in the future. sync_sb_inodes bails out without attempting to write any dirty inodes. When this occurs, pdflush will stop writing out inodes for this superblock. Nothing can unwedge it until jiffies moves out of the problematic window. This patch fixes this problem by changing the checks against dirtied_when to also check whether it appears to be in the future. If it does, then we consider the value to be far in the past. This should shrink the problematic window of time to such a small period (30s) as not to matter.

2009-04-02vfs: skip I_CLEAR state inodesWu Fengguang
clear_inode() will switch inode state from I_FREEING to I_CLEAR, and do so _outside_ of inode_lock. So any I_FREEING testing is incomplete without a coupled testing of I_CLEAR. So add I_CLEAR tests to drop_pagecache_sb(), generic_sync_sb_inodes() and add_dquot_ref(). Masayoshi MIZUMA discovered the bug in drop_pagecache_sb() and Jan Kara reminds fixing the other two cases. Masayoshi MIZUMA has a nice panic flow: ===================================================================== [process A] | [process B] | | | prune_icache() | drop_pagecache() | spin_lock(&inode_lock) | drop_pagecache_sb() | inode->i_state |= I_FREEING; | | | spin_unlock(&inode_lock) | V | | | spin_lock(&inode_lock) | V | | | dispose_list() | | | list_del() | | | clear_inode() | | | inode->i_state = I_CLEAR | | | | | V | | | if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE)) | | | continue; <==== NOT MATCH | | | | | | (DANGER from here on!
