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.

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. Signed-off-by: NJeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

The freezer processes are dealing with multiple threads running simultaneously, and on a UP system, the memory reads/writes do not need barriers to keep things in sync. These are only needed on SMP systems, so use SMP barriers instead. Signed-off-by: NMike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Acked-by: NPavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

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.

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.

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.
