      freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE · a3201227
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      freezer: clean up freeze_processes() failure path · 03afed8b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      freeze_processes() failure path is rather messy.  Freezing is canceled
      for workqueues and tasks which aren't frozen yet but frozen tasks are
      left alone and should be thawed by the caller and of course some
      callers (xen and kexec) didn't do it.
      
      This patch updates __thaw_task() to handle cancelation correctly and
      makes freeze_processes() and freeze_kernel_threads() call
      thaw_processes() on failure instead so that the system is fully thawed
      on failure.  Unnecessary [suspend_]thaw_processes() calls are removed
      from kernel/power/hibernate.c, suspend.c and user.c.
      
      While at it, restructure error checking if clause in suspend_prepare()
      to be less weird.

      freezer: test freezable conditions while holding freezer_lock · 85f1d476
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      try_to_freeze_tasks() and thaw_processes() use freezable() and
      frozen() as preliminary tests before initiating operations on a task.
      These are done without any synchronization and hinder with
      synchronization cleanup without any real performance benefits.
      
      In try_to_freeze_tasks(), open code self test and move PF_NOFREEZE and
      frozen() tests inside freezer_lock in freeze_task().
      
      thaw_processes() can simply drop freezable() test as frozen() test in
      __thaw_task() is enough.

      freezer: make freezing indicate freeze condition in effect · 6907483b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      freezer: use dedicated lock instead of task_lock() + memory barrier · 0c9af092
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Freezer synchronization is needlessly complicated - it's by no means a
      hot path and the priority is staying unintrusive and safe.  This patch
      makes it simply use a dedicated lock instead of piggy-backing on
      task_lock() and playing with memory barriers.
      
      On the failure path of try_to_freeze_tasks(), locking is moved from it
      to cancel_freezing().  This makes the frozen() test racy but the race
      here is a non-issue as the warning is printed for tasks which failed
      to enter frozen for 20 seconds and race on PF_FROZEN at the last
      moment doesn't change anything.
      
      This simplifies freezer implementation and eases further changes
      including some race fixes.

      freezer: implement and use kthread_freezable_should_stop() · 8a32c441
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Writeback and thinkpad_acpi have been using thaw_process() to prevent
      deadlock between the freezer and kthread_stop(); unfortunately, this
      is inherently racy - nothing prevents freezing from happening between
      thaw_process() and kthread_stop().
      
      This patch implements kthread_freezable_should_stop() which enters
      refrigerator if necessary but is guaranteed to return if
      kthread_stop() is invoked.  Both thaw_process() users are converted to
      use the new function.
      
      Note that this deadlock condition exists for many of freezable
      kthreads.  They need to be converted to use the new should_stop or

      freezer: fix current->state restoration race in refrigerator() · 50fb4f7f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      refrigerator() saves current->state before entering frozen state and
      restores it before returning using __set_current_state(); however,
      this is racy, for example, please consider the following sequence.
      
      	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
      	try_to_freeze();
      	if (kthread_should_stop())
      		break;
      	schedule();
      
      If kthread_stop() races with ->state restoration, the restoration can
      restore ->state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after kthread_stop() sets it to
      TASK_RUNNING but kthread_should_stop() may still see zero
      ->should_stop because there's no memory barrier between restoring
      TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and kthread_should_stop() test.
      
      This isn't restricted to kthread_should_stop().  current->state is
      often used in memory barrier based synchronization and silently
      restoring it w/o mb breaks them.
      
      Use set_current_state() instead.

      PM / Freezer: Revert 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too"
      
      Commit 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake
      TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" updated fake_signal_wake_up() used by freezer
      to wake up KILLABLE tasks.  Sending unsolicited wakeups to tasks in
      killable sleep is dangerous as there are code paths which depend on
      tasks not waking up spuriously from KILLABLE sleep.
      
      For example. sys_read() or page can sleep in TASK_KILLABLE assuming
      that wait/down/whatever _killable can only fail if we can not return
      to the usermode.  TASK_TRACED is another obvious example.
      
      The previous patch updated wait_event_freezekillable() such that it
      doesn't depend on the spurious wakeup.  This patch reverts the
      offending commit.
      
      Note that the spurious KILLABLE wakeup had other implicit effects in
      KILLABLE sleeps in nfs and cifs and those will need further updates to
      regain freezekillable behavior.

      PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too · 27920651
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      TASK_KILLABLE is often used to put tasks to sleep for quite some time.
      One of the most common uses is to put tasks to sleep while waiting for
      replies from a server on a networked filesystem (such as CIFS or NFS).
      
      Unfortunately, fake_signal_wake_up does not currently wake up tasks
      that are sleeping in TASK_KILLABLE state. This means that even if the
      code were in place to allow them to freeze while in this sleep, it
      wouldn't work anyway.
      
      This patch changes this function to wake tasks in this state as well.
      This should be harmless -- if the code doing the sleeping doesn't have
      handling to deal with freezer events, it should just go back to sleep.
      If it does, then this will allow that code to do the right thing.

      Freezer: Fix a race during freezing of TASK_STOPPED tasks · 8cfe400c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      After calling freeze_task(), try_to_freeze_tasks() see whether the
      task is stopped or traced and if so, considers it to be frozen;
      however, nothing guarantees that either the task being frozen sees
      TIF_FREEZE or the freezer sees TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_RUNNING
      transition.  The task being frozen may wake up and not see TIF_FREEZE
      while the freezer fails to notice the transition and believes the task
      is still stopped.
      
      This patch fixes the race by making freeze_task() always go through
      fake_signal_wake_up() for applicable tasks.  The function goes through
      the target task's scheduler lock and thus guarantees that either the
      target sees TIF_FREEZE or try_to_freeze_task() sees TASK_RUNNING.

      sched: fix nr_uninterruptible accounting of frozen tasks really · 6301cb95
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      commit e3c8ca83 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke
      the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task
      is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags &
      PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So
      while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
      is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement
      nr_uninterruptible on thaw.
      
      Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set
      it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and
      clear it after we return from frozen state.

      container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem · dc52ddc0
      Matt Helsley 提交于
      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.
