2014-05-19cgroup: disallow debug controller on the default hierarchyTejun Heo
The debug controller, as its name suggests, exposes cgroup core internals to userland to aid debugging. Unfortunately, except for the name, there's no provision to prevent its usage in production configurations and the controller is widely enabled and mounted leaking internal details to userland. Like most other debug information, the information exposed by debug isn't interesting even for debugging itself once the related parts are working reliably. This controller has no reason for existing. This patch implements cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask which can suppress specific subsystems on the default hierarchy and adds the debug subsystem to it so that it can be gradually deprecated as usages move towards the unified hierarchy.

2014-05-16cgroup: implement css_tryget()Tejun Heo
Implement css_tryget() which tries to grab a cgroup_subsys_state's reference as long as it already hasn't reached zero. Combined with the recent css iterator changes to include offline && !released csses during traversal, this can be used to access csses regardless of its online state. v2: Take the new flag CSS_NO_REF into account.

2014-05-16cgroup: convert cgroup_has_live_children() into css_has_online_children()Tejun Heo
Now that cgroup liveliness and css onliness are the same state, convert cgroup_has_live_children() into css_has_online_children() so that it can be used for actual csses too. The function now uses css_for_each_child() for iteration and is published. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

2014-05-16cgroup: iterate cgroup_subsys_states directlyTejun Heo
Currently, css_next_child() is implemented as finding the next child cgroup which has the css enabled, which used to be the only way to do it as only cgroups participated in sibling lists and thus could be iteratd. This works as long as what's required during iteration is not missing online csses; however, it turns out that there are use cases where offlined but not yet released csses need to be iterated. This is difficult to implement through cgroup iteration the unified hierarchy as there may be multiple dying csses for the same subsystem associated with single cgroup. After the recent changes, the cgroup self and regular csses behave identically in how they're linked and unlinked from the sibling lists including assertion of CSS_RELEASED and css_next_child() can simply switch to iterating csses directly. This both simplifies the logic and ensures that all visible non-released csses are included in the iteration whether there are multiple dying csses for a subsystem or not. As all other iterators depend on css_next_child() for sibling iteration, this changes behaviors of all css iterators. Add and update explanations on the css states which are included in traversal to all iterators. As css iteration could always contain offlined csses, this shouldn't break any of the current users and new usages which need iteration of all on and offline csses can make use of the new semantics.

2014-05-16cgroup: introduce CSS_RELEASED and reduce css iteration fallback windowTejun Heo
css iterations allow the caller to drop RCU read lock. As long as the caller keeps the current position accessible, it can simply re-grab RCU read lock later and continue iteration. This is achieved by using CGRP_DEAD to detect whether the current positions next pointer is safe to dereference and if not re-iterate from the beginning to the next position using ->serial_nr. CGRP_DEAD is used as the marker to invalidate the next pointer and the only requirement is that the marker is set before the next sibling starts its RCU grace period. Because CGRP_DEAD is set at the end of cgroup_destroy_locked() but the cgroup is unlinked when the reference count reaches zero, we currently have a rather large window where this fallback re-iteration logic can be triggered. This patch introduces CSS_RELEASED which is set when a css is unlinked from its sibling list. This still keeps the re-iteration logic working while drastically reducing the window of its activation. While at it, rewrite the comment in css_next_child() to reflect the new flag and better explain the synchronization. This will also enable iterating csses directly instead of through cgroups. v2: CSS_RELEASED now assigned to 1 << 2 as 1 << 0 is used by CSS_NO_REF.

2014-05-16cgroup: move cgroup->serial_nr into cgroup_subsys_stateTejun Heo
We're moving towards using cgroup_subsys_states as the fundamental structural blocks. All csses including the cgroup->self and actual ones now form trees through css->children and ->sibling which follow the same rules as what cgroup->children and ->sibling followed. This patch moves cgroup->serial_nr which is used to implement css iteration into css. Note that all csses, regardless of their types, allocate their serial numbers from the same monotonically increasing counter. This doesn't affect the ordering needed by css iteration or cause any other material behavior changes. This will be used to update css iteration.

2014-05-16cgroup: skip refcnting on normal root csses and cgrp_dfl_root self cssTejun Heo
9395a4500404 ("cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses") enabled reference counting for root csses (cgroup_subsys_states) so that cgroup's self csses can be used to manage the lifetime of the containing cgroups. Unfortunately, this change was incorrect. During early init, cgrp_dfl_root self css refcnt is used. percpu_ref can't initialized during early init and its initialization is deferred till cgroup_init() time. This means that cpu was using percpu_ref which wasn't properly initialized. Due to the way percpu variables are laid out on x86, this didn't blow up immediately on x86 but ended up incrementing and decrementing the percpu variable at offset zero, whatever it may be; however, on other archs, this caused fault and early boot failure. As cgroup self csses for root cgroups of non-dfl hierarchies need working refcounting, we can't revert 9395a4500404. This patch adds CSS_NO_REF which explicitly inhibits reference counting on the css and sets it on all normal (non-self) csses and cgroup_dfl_root self css. v2: cgrp_dfl_root.self is the offending one. Set the flag on it.

2014-05-14cgroup: use cgroup->self.refcnt for cgroup refcntingTejun Heo
Currently cgroup implements refcnting separately using atomic_t cgroup->refcnt. The destruction paths of cgroup and css are rather complex and bear a lot of similiarities including the use of RCU and bouncing to a work item. This patch makes cgroup use the refcnt of self css for refcnting instead of using its own. This makes cgroup refcnting use css's percpu refcnt and share the destruction mechanism. * css_release_work_fn() and css_free_work_fn() are updated to handle both csses and cgroups. This is a bit messy but should do until we can make cgroup->self a full css, which currently can't be done thanks to multiple hierarchies. * cgroup_destroy_locked() now performs percpu_ref_kill(&cgrp->self.refcnt) instead of cgroup_put(cgrp). * Negative refcnt sanity check in cgroup_get() is no longer necessary as percpu_ref already handles it. * Similarly, as a cgroup which hasn't been killed will never be released regardless of its refcnt value and percpu_ref has sanity check on kill, cgroup_is_dead() sanity check in cgroup_put() is no longer necessary. * As whether a refcnt reached zero or not can only be decided after the reference count is killed, cgroup_root->cgrp's refcnting can no longer be used to decide whether to kill the root or not. Let's make cgroup_kill_sb() explicitly initiate destruction if the root doesn't have any children. This makes sense anyway as unmounted cgroup hierarchy without any children should be destroyed. While this is a bit messy, this will allow pushing more bookkeeping towards cgroup->self and thus handling cgroups and csses in more uniform way. In the very long term, it should be possible to introduce a base subsystem and convert the self css to a proper one making things whole lot simpler and unified.

2014-05-14cgroup: enable refcnting for root cssesTejun Heo
Currently, css_get(), css_tryget() and css_tryget_online() are noops for root csses as an optimization; however, we're planning to use css refcnts to track of cgroup lifetime too and root cgroups also need to be reference counted. Since css has been converted to percpu_refcnt, the overhead of refcnting is miniscule and this optimization isn't too meaningful anymore. Furthermore, controllers which optimize the root cgroup often never even invoke these functions in their hot paths. This patch enables refcnting for root csses too.

2014-05-13cgroup: implement cftype->write()Tejun Heo
During the recent conversion to kernfs, cftype's seq_file operations are updated so that they are directly mapped to kernfs operations and thus can fully access the associated kernfs and cgroup contexts; however, write path hasn't seen similar updates and none of the existing write operations has access to, for example, the associated kernfs_open_file. Let's introduce a new operation cftype->write() which maps directly to the kernfs write operation and has access to all the arguments and contexts. This will replace ->write_string() and ->trigger() and ease manipulation of kernfs active protection from cgroup file operations. Two accessors - of_cft() and of_css() - are introduced to enable accessing the associated cgroup context from cftype->write() which only takes kernfs_open_file for the context information.

2014-05-13cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()Tejun Heo
Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly indicate that they're onliness. I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about on/offline state.

This patch adds css->id which is a subsystem-unique ID and converts css_from_id() to look up by the new css->id instead. memcg is the only user of css_from_id() and also converted to use css->id instead.

2014-04-25cgroup: implement cgroup.populated for the default hierarchyTejun Heo
cgroup users often need a way to determine when a cgroup's subhierarchy becomes empty so that it can be cleaned up. cgroup currently provides release_agent for it; unfortunately, this mechanism is riddled with issues. * It delivers events by forking and execing a userland binary specified as the release_agent. This is a long deprecated method of notification delivery. It's extremely heavy, slow and cumbersome to integrate with larger infrastructure. * There is single monitoring point at the root. There's no way to delegate management of a subtree. * The event isn't recursive. It triggers when a cgroup doesn't have any tasks or child cgroups. Events for internal nodes trigger only after all children are removed. This again makes it impossible to delegate management of a subtree. * Events are filtered from the kernel side. "notify_on_release" file is used to subscribe to or suppress release event. This is unnecessarily complicated and probably done this way because event delivery itself was expensive. This patch implements interface file "cgroup.populated" which can be used to monitor whether the cgroup's subhierarchy has tasks in it or not. Its value is 0 if there is no task in the cgroup and its descendants; otherwise, 1, and kernfs_notify() notificaiton is triggers when the value changes, which can be monitored through poll and [di]notify. This is a lot ligther and simpler and trivially allows delegating management of subhierarchy - subhierarchy monitoring can block further propgation simply by putting itself or another process in the root of the subhierarchy and monitor events that it's interested in from there without interfering with monitoring higher in the tree. v2: Patch description updated as per Serge. v3: "cgroup.subtree_populated" renamed to "cgroup.populated". The subtree_ prefix was a bit confusing because "cgroup.subtree_control" uses it to denote the tree rooted at the cgroup sans the cgroup itself while the populated state includes the cgroup itself.

2014-04-23cgroup: implement dynamic subtree controller enable/disable on the default ↵Tejun Heo
hierarchy cgroup is switching away from multiple hierarchies and will use one unified default hierarchy where controllers can be dynamically enabled and disabled per subtree. The default hierarchy will serve as the unified hierarchy to which all controllers are attached and a css on the default hierarchy would need to also serve the tasks of descendant cgroups which don't have the controller enabled - ie. the tree may be collapsed from leaf towards root when viewed from specific controllers. This has been implemented through effective css in the previous patches. This patch finally implements dynamic subtree controller enable/disable on the default hierarchy via a new knob - "cgroup.subtree_control" which controls which controllers are enabled on the child cgroups. Let's assume a hierarchy like the following. root - A - B - C \ D root's "cgroup.subtree_control" determines which controllers are enabled on A. A's on B. B's on C and D. This coincides with the fact that controllers on the immediate sub-level are used to distribute the resources of the parent. In fact, it's natural to assume that resource control knobs of a child belong to its parent. Enabling a controller in "cgroup.subtree_control" declares that distribution of the respective resources of the cgroup will be controlled. Note that this means that controller enable states are shared among siblings. The default hierarchy has an extra restriction - only cgroups which don't contain any task may have controllers enabled in "cgroup.subtree_control". Combined with the other properties of the default hierarchy, this guarantees that, from the view point of controllers, tasks are only on the leaf cgroups. In other words, only leaf csses may contain tasks. This rules out situations where child cgroups compete against internal tasks of the parent, which is a competition between two different types of entities without any clear way to determine resource distribution between the two. Different controllers handle it differently and all the implemented behaviors are ambiguous, ad-hoc, cumbersome and/or just wrong. Having this structural constraints imposed from cgroup core removes the burden from controller implementations and enables showing one consistent behavior across all controllers. When a controller is enabled or disabled, css associations for the controller in the subtrees of each child should be updated. After enabling, the whole subtree of a child should point to the new css of the child. After disabling, the whole subtree of a child should point to the cgroup's css. This is implemented by first updating cgroup states such that cgroup_e_css() result points to the appropriate css and then invoking cgroup_update_dfl_csses() which migrates all tasks in the affected subtrees to the self cgroup on the default hierarchy. * When read, "cgroup.subtree_control" lists all the currently enabled controllers on the children of the cgroup. * White-space separated list of controller names prefixed with either '+' or '-' can be written to "cgroup.subtree_control". The ones prefixed with '+' are enabled on the controller and '-' disabled. * A controller can be enabled iff the parent's "cgroup.subtree_control" enables it and disabled iff no child's "cgroup.subtree_control" has it enabled. * If a cgroup has tasks, no controller can be enabled via "cgroup.subtree_control". Likewise, if "cgroup.subtree_control" has some controllers enabled, tasks can't be migrated into the cgroup. * All controllers which aren't bound on other hierarchies are automatically associated with the root cgroup of the default hierarchy. All the controllers which are bound to the default hierarchy are listed in the read-only file "cgroup.controllers" in the root directory. * "cgroup.controllers" in all non-root cgroups is read-only file whose content is equal to that of "cgroup.subtree_control" of the parent. This indicates which controllers can be used in the cgroup's "cgroup.subtree_control". This is still experimental and there are some holes, one of which is that ->can_attach() failure during cgroup_update_dfl_csses() may leave the cgroups in an undefined state. The issues will be addressed by future patches. v2: Non-root cgroups now also have "cgroup.controllers". Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

2014-04-23cgroup: teach css_task_iter about effective cssesTejun Heo
Currently, css_task_iter iterates tasks associated with a css by visiting each css_set associated with the owning cgroup and walking tasks of each of them. This works fine for !unified hierarchies as each cgroup has its own css for each associated subsystem on the hierarchy; however, on the planned unified hierarchy, a cgroup may not have csses associated and its tasks would be considered associated with the matching css of the nearest ancestor which has the subsystem enabled. This means that on the default unified hierarchy, just walking all tasks associated with a cgroup isn't enough to walk all tasks which are associated with the specified css. If any of its children doesn't have the matching css enabled, task iteration should also include all tasks from the subtree. We already added cgroup->e_csets[] to list all css_sets effectively associated with a given css and walk css_sets on that list instead to achieve such iteration. This patch updates css_task_iter iteration such that it walks css_sets on cgroup->e_csets[] instead of cgroup->cset_links if iteration is requested on an non-dummy css. Thanks to the previous iteration update, this change can be achieved with the addition of css_task_iter->ss and minimal updates to css_advance_task_iter() and css_task_iter_start().

2014-04-23cgroup: reorganize css_task_iterTejun Heo
This patch reorganizes css_task_iter so that adding effective css support is easier. * s/->cset_link/->cset_pos/ and s/->task/->task_pos/ for consistency * ->origin_css is used to determine whether the iteration reached the last css_set. Replace it with explicit ->cset_head so that css_advance_task_iter() doesn't have to know the termination condition directly. * css_task_iter_next() currently assumes that it's walking list of cgrp_cset_link and reaches into the current cset through the current link to determine the termination conditions for task walking. As this won't always be true for effective css walking, add ->tasks_head and ->mg_tasks_head and use them to control task walking so that css_task_iter_next() doesn't have to know how css_sets are being walked. This patch doesn't make any behavior changes. The iteration logic stays unchanged after the patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
2014-04-23cgroup: implement cgroup->e_csets[]Tejun Heo
On the default unified hierarchy, a cgroup may be associated with csses of its ancestors, which means that a css of a given cgroup may be associated with css_sets of descendant cgroups. This means that we can't walk all tasks associated with a css by iterating the css_sets associated with the cgroup as there are css_sets which are pointing to the css but linked on the descendants. This patch adds per-subsystem list heads cgroup->e_csets[]. Any css_set which is pointing to a css is linked to css->cgroup->e_csets[$SUBSYS_ID] through css_set->e_cset_node[$SUBSYS_ID]. The lists are protected by css_set_rwsem and will allow us to walk all css_sets associated with a given css so that we can find out all associated tasks.

2014-04-23cgroup: update cgroup->subsys_mask to ->child_subsys_mask and restore ↵Tejun Heo
cgroup_root->subsys_mask 944196278d3d ("cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to cgroup") moved ->subsys_mask from cgroup_root to cgroup to prepare for the unified hierarhcy; however, it turns out that carrying the subsys_mask of the children in the parent, instead of itself, is a lot more natural. This patch restores cgroup_root->subsys_mask and morphs cgroup->subsys_mask into cgroup->child_subsys_mask. * Uses of root->cgrp.subsys_mask are restored to root->subsys_mask. * Remove automatic setting and clearing of cgrp->subsys_mask and instead just inherit ->child_subsys_mask from the parent during cgroup creation. Note that this doesn't affect any current behaviors. * Undo __kill_css() separation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

2014-03-19cgroup: make cgrp_dfl_root mountableTejun Heo
cgrp_dfl_root will be used as the default unified hierarchy. This patch makes cgrp_dfl_root mountable by making the following changes. * cgroup_init_early() now initializes cgrp_dfl_root w/ CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR. The default hierarchy is always sane. * parse_cgroupfs_options() and cgroup_mount() are updated such that cgrp_dfl_root is mounted if sane_behavior is specified w/o any subsystems. * rebind_subsystems() now populates the root directory of cgrp_dfl_root. Note that the function still guarantees success of rebinding subsystems to cgrp_dfl_root. If populating fails while rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, it whines but ignores the error. * For backward compatibility, the default hierarchy shows up in /proc/$PID/cgroup only after it's explicitly mounted so that userland which doesn't make use of it doesn't see any change. * "current_css_set_cg_links" file of debug cgroup now treats the default hierarchy the same as other hierarchies. This is visible to userland. Given that it's for debug controller, this should be fine. * While at it, implement cgroup_on_dfl() which tests whether a give cgroup is on the default hierarchy or not. The above changes make cgrp_dfl_root mostly equivalent to other controllers but the actual unified hierarchy behaviors are not implemented yet.

2014-03-19cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to cgroupTejun Heo
cgroupfs_root->subsys_mask represents the controllers attached to the hierarchy. This patch moves the field to cgroup. Subsystem initialization and rebinding updates the top cgroup's subsys_mask. For !root cgroups, the subsys_mask bits are set from create_css() and cleared from kill_css(), which effectively means that all cgroups will have the same subsys_mask as the top cgroup. While this doesn't make any difference now, this will help implementation of the default unified hierarchy where !root cgroups may have subsets of the top_cgroup's subsys_mask. While at it, __kill_css() is split out of kill_css(). The former doesn't care about the subsys_mask while the latter becomes noop if the controller is already killed and clears the matching bit if not before proceeding to killing the css. This will be used later by the default unified hierarchy implementation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

2014-02-25cgroup: split process / task migration into four stepsTejun Heo
Currently, process / task migration is a single operation which may fail depending on memory pressure or the involved controllers' ->can_attach() callbacks. One problem with this approach is migration of multiple targets. It's impossible to tell whether a given target will be successfully migrated beforehand and cgroup core can't keep track of enough states to roll back after intermediate failure. This is already an issue with cgroup_transfer_tasks(). Also, we're gonna need multiple target migration for unified hierarchy. This patch splits migration into four stages - cgroup_migrate_add_src(), cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst(), cgroup_migrate() and cgroup_migrate_finish(), where cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() performs all the operations which may fail due to allocation failure without actually migrating the target. The four separate stages mean that, disregarding ->can_attach() failures, the success or failure of multi target migration can be determined before performing any actual migration. If preparations of all targets succeed, the whole thing will succeed. If not, the whole operation can fail without any side-effect. Since the previous patch to use css_set->mg_tasks to keep track of migration targets, the only thing which may need memory allocation during migration is the target css_sets. cgroup_migrate_prepare() pins all source and target css_sets and link them up. Note that this can be performed without holding threadgroup_lock even if the target is a process. As long as cgroup_mutex is held, no new css_set can be put into play.

2014-02-25cgroup: use css_set->mg_tasks to track target tasks during migrationTejun Heo
Currently, while migrating tasks from one cgroup to another, cgroup_attach_task() builds a flex array of all target tasks; unfortunately, this has a couple issues. * Flex array has size limit. On 64bit, struct task_and_cgroup is 24bytes making the flex element limit around 87k. It is a high number but not impossible to hit. This means that the current cgroup implementation can't migrate a process with more than 87k threads. * Process migration involves memory allocation whose size is dependent on the number of threads the process has. This means that cgroup core can't guarantee success or failure of multi-process migrations as memory allocation failure can happen in the middle. This is in part because cgroup can't grab threadgroup locks of multiple processes at the same time, so when there are multiple processes to migrate, it is imposible to tell how many tasks are to be migrated beforehand. Note that this already affects cgroup_transfer_tasks(). cgroup currently cannot guarantee atomic success or failure of the operation. It may fail in the middle and after such failure cgroup doesn't have enough information to roll back properly. It just aborts with some tasks migrated and others not. To resolve the situation, this patch updates the migration path to use task->cg_list to track target tasks. The previous patch already added css_set->mg_tasks and updated iterations in non-migration paths to include them during task migration. This patch updates migration path to actually make use of it. Instead of putting onto a flex_array, each target task is moved from its css_set->tasks list to css_set->mg_tasks and the migration path keeps trace of all the source css_sets and the associated cgroups. Once all source css_sets are determined, the destination css_set for each is determined, linked to the matching source css_set and put on a separate list. To iterate the target tasks, migration path just needs to iterat through either the source or target css_sets, depending on whether migration has been committed or not, and the tasks on their ->mg_tasks lists. cgroup_taskset is updated to contain the list_heads for source and target css_sets and the iteration cursor. cgroup_taskset_*() are accordingly updated to walk through css_sets and their ->mg_tasks. This resolves the above listed issues with moderate additional complexity. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

It may fail in the middle and after such failure cgroup doesn't have enough information to roll back properly. It just aborts with some tasks migrated and others not. To resolve the situation, we're going to use task->cg_list during migration too. Instead of building a separate array, target tasks will be linked into a dedicated migration list_head on the owning css_set. Tasks on the migration list are treated the same as tasks on the usual tasks list; however, being on a separate list allows cgroup migration code path to keep track of the target tasks by simply keeping the list of css_sets with tasks being migrated, making unpredictable dynamic allocation unnecessary. In prepartion of such migration path update, this patch introduces css_set->mg_tasks list and updates css_set task iterations so that they walk both css_set->tasks and ->mg_tasks.
