2012-09-14cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups ↵Tejun Heo
are nested for them Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary memcg root handling per Michal. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Acked-by: Serge E.

2012-04-01cgroup: convert all non-memcg controllers to the new cftype interfaceTejun Heo
Convert debug, freezer, cpuset, cpu_cgroup, cpuacct, net_prio, blkio, net_cls and device controllers to use the new cftype based interface. Termination entry is added to cftype arrays and populate callbacks are replaced with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes initializations. This is functionally identical transformation. There shouldn't be any visible behavior change. memcg is rather special and will be converted separately.

2012-02-02cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacksLi Zefan
The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it belongs to. Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files(). So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size is minimal. 16 files changed, 113 insertions(+), 162 deletions(-) text data bss dec hex filename 5486240 656987 7039960 13183187 c928d3 vmlinux.o.orig 5486170 656987 7039960 13183117 c9288d vmlinux.o Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Now that subsys->can_attach() and attach() take @tset instead of @task, they can handle per-task operations.

Noteworthy changes are, * In cgroup_freezer, remove unnecessary NULL assignments to unused methods.

cancel_attach() and attach() Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys methods. Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so that all methods have access to all information.

2011-11-24cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasksMichal Hocko
2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches CGROUP_FROZEN. Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations (update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when testing frozen tasks. Testcase: mkdir /dev/freezer mount -t cgroup -o freezer none /dev/freezer mkdir /dev/freezer/foo sleep 1h & pid=$! kill -STOP $pid echo $pid > /dev/freezer/foo/tasks echo FROZEN > /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state while true do cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state [ "`cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state`" = "FROZEN" ] && break sleep 1 done echo OK Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tomasz Buchert <tomasz.buchert@inria.fr> Cc: Paul Menage <paul@paulmenage.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

2011-11-21freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZETejun Heo
Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy. thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup freezers. This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and fragile. A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in effect. This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is active and the task should freeze. On fast path, freezing() is still very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt. This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state and comply. As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's race-free. * This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task(). Replace the open coded tests with freezing(). * p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path. This is necessary as freezing() is now true for the task which initiated freezing too. -v2: Oleg pointed out that re-freezing FROZEN cgroup could increment system_freezing_cnt. Fixed.

2011-11-21cgroup_freezer: prepare for removal of TIF_FREEZETejun Heo

Make the following changes in preparation. * Rename cgroup_freezing_or_frozen() to cgroup_freezing() and make it return bool. * Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock instead of task_lock(). This makes the state dereferencing racy against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized. This will be later dealt with using attach hooks. * freezer->state is now set before trying to push tasks into the target state. -v2: Oleg pointed out that freeze_change_state() was setting freeze->state incorrectly to CGROUP_FROZEN instead of CGROUP_FREEZING. Fixed. -v3: Matt pointed out that setting CGROUP_FROZEN used to always invoke try_to_freeze_cgroup() regardless of the current state.

2011-11-21freezer: make freezing indicate freeze condition in effectTejun Heo
Currently freezing (TIF_FREEZE) and frozen (PF_FROZEN) states are interlocked - freezing is set to request freeze and when the task actually freezes, it clears freezing and sets frozen. This interlocking makes things more complex than necessary - freezing doesn't mean there's freezing condition in effect and frozen doesn't match the task actually entering and leaving frozen state (it's cleared by the thawing task). This patch makes freezing indicate that freeze condition is in effect. A task enters and stays frozen if freezing. This makes PF_FROZEN manipulation done only by the task itself and prevents wakeup from __thaw_task() leaking outside of refrigerator. The only place which needs to tell freezing && !frozen is try_to_freeze_task() to whine about tasks which don't enter frozen. It's updated to test the condition explicitly. With the change, frozen() state my linger after __thaw_task() until the task wakes up and exits fridge. This can trigger BUG_ON() in update_if_frozen(). Work it around by testing freezing() && frozen() instead of frozen(). -v2: Oleg pointed out missing re-check of freezing() when trying to clear FROZEN and possible spurious BUG_ON() trigger in update_if_frozen(). Both fixed. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Menage <paul@paulmenage.org>

This will help further updates to the freezer code. -v3: oom_kill grew a use of thaw_process() while this patch was pending. Convert it to use __thaw_task() for now.

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.

2010-10-27cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state transitionsTomasz Buchert
There are 4 state transitions possible for a freezer. Only FREEZING -> FROZEN transaction is done lazily. This patch allows update_freezer_state only to perform this transaction and renames the function to update_if_frozen. Moreover is_task_frozen_enough function is removed and its every occurence is replaced with frozen(). Therefore for a group to become FROZEN every task must be frozen. The previous version could trigger a following bug: When cgroup is in the process of freezing (but none of its tasks are frozen yet), update_freezer_state() (called from freezer_read or freezer_write) would incorrectly report that a group is 'THAWED' (because nfrozen = 0), allowing the transaction FREEZING -> THAWED without writing anything to 'freezer.state'. This is incorrect according to the documentation. This could result in a 'THAWED' cgroup with frozen tasks inside.

2010-04-05Merge branch 'master' into export-slabhTejun Heo
2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-26Freezer: Fix buggy resume test for tasks frozen with cgroup freezerMatt Helsley
When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN. If so then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates that the task should remain frozen. This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this transition before suspend. NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons: Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen. Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered. Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

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.

2008-11-12freezer_cg: disable writing freezer.state of root cgroupLi Zefan
With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable. I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not used. Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.

2008-11-12freezer_cg: remove task_lock from freezer_fork()Li Zefan
In theory the task can be moved to another cgroup and the freezer will be freed right after task_lock is dropped, so the lock results in zero protection. But in the case of freezer_fork() no lock is needed, since the task is not in tasklist yet so it won't be moved to another cgroup, so task->cgroups won't be changed or invalidated.

2008-10-20container freezer: prevent frozen tasks or cgroups from changingMatt Helsley
Don't let frozen tasks or cgroups change. This means frozen tasks can't leave their current cgroup for another cgroup. It also means that tasks cannot be added to or removed from a cgroup in the FROZEN state. We enforce these rules by checking for frozen tasks and cgroups in the can_attach() function.

2008-10-20container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystemMatt Helsley
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.
