The SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling class provides an advanced and formal model to define tasks requirements that can translate into proper decisions for both task placements and frequencies selections. Other classes have a more simplified model based on the POSIX concept of priorities. Such a simple priority based model however does not allow to exploit most advanced features of the Linux scheduler like, for example, driving frequencies selection via the schedutil cpufreq governor. However, also for non SCHED_DEADLINE tasks, it's still interesting to define tasks properties to support scheduler decisions. Utilization clamping exposes to user-space a new set of per-task attributes the scheduler can use as hints about the expected/required utilization for a task. This allows to implement a "proactive" per-task frequency control policy, a more advanced policy than the current one based just on "passive" measured task utilization. For example, it's possible to boost interactive tasks (e.g. to get better performance) or cap background tasks (e.g. to be more energy/thermal efficient). Introduce a new API to set utilization clamping values for a specified task by extending sched_setattr(), a syscall which already allows to define task specific properties for different scheduling classes. A new pair of attributes allows to specify a minimum and maximum utilization the scheduler can consider for a task. Do that by validating the required clamp values before and then applying the required changes using _the_ same pattern already in use for __setscheduler(). This ensures that the task is re-enqueued with the new clamp values.

Tasks without a user-defined clamp value are considered not clamped and by default their utilization can have any value in the [0..SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE] range. Tasks with a user-defined clamp value are allowed to request any value in that range, and the required clamp is unconditionally enforced. However, a "System Management Software" could be interested in limiting the range of clamp values allowed for all tasks. Add a privileged interface to define a system default configuration via: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_uclamp_util_{min,max} which works as an unconditional clamp range restriction for all tasks. With the default configuration, the full SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE range of values is allowed for each clamp index. Otherwise, the task-specific clamp is capped by the corresponding system default value. Do that by tracking, for each task, the "effective" clamp value and bucket the task has been refcounted in at enqueue time. This allows to lazy aggregate "requested" and "system default" values at enqueue time and simplifies refcounting updates at dequeue time. The cached bucket ids are used to avoid (relatively) more expensive integer divisions every time a task is enqueued. An active flag is used to report when the "effective" value is valid and thus the task is actually refcounted in the corresponding rq's bucket.

Utilization clamping allows to clamp the CPU's utilization within a [util_min, util_max] range, depending on the set of RUNNABLE tasks on that CPU. Each task references two "clamp buckets" defining its minimum and maximum (util_{min,max}) utilization "clamp values". A CPU's clamp bucket is active if there is at least one RUNNABLE tasks enqueued on that CPU and refcounting that bucket. When a task is {en,de}queued {on,from} a rq, the set of active clamp buckets on that CPU can change. If the set of active clamp buckets changes for a CPU a new "aggregated" clamp value is computed for that CPU. This is because each clamp bucket enforces a different utilization clamp value. Clamp values are always MAX aggregated for both util_min and util_max. This ensures that no task can affect the performance of other co-scheduled tasks which are more boosted (i.e. with higher util_min clamp) or less capped (i.e. with higher util_max clamp). A task has: task_struct::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket_id to track the "bucket index" of the CPU's clamp bucket it refcounts while enqueued, for each clamp index (clamp_id). A runqueue has: rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].tasks to track how many RUNNABLE tasks on that CPU refcount each clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp index (clamp_id). It also has a: rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].value to track the clamp value of each clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp index (clamp_id). The rq::uclamp::bucket[clamp_id][] array is scanned every time it's needed to find a new MAX aggregated clamp value for a clamp_id. This operation is required only when it's dequeued the last task of a clamp bucket tracking the current MAX aggregated clamp value. In this case, the CPU is either entering IDLE or going to schedule a less boosted or more clamped task. The expected number of different clamp values configured at build time is small enough to fit the full unordered array into a single cache line, for configurations of up to 7 buckets. Add to struct rq the basic data structures required to refcount the number of RUNNABLE tasks for each clamp bucket. Add also the max aggregation required to update the rq's clamp value at each enqueue/dequeue event. Use a simple linear mapping of clamp values into clamp buckets. Pre-compute and cache bucket_id to avoid integer divisions at enqueue/dequeue time.

In commit: 4b53a341 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper") the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched. As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use: struct task_struct { const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr; cpumask_t cpus_mask; }; with t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask; In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to: t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p)); in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple: - Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer. - Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

Cgroup v1 implements the freezer controller, which provides an ability to stop the workload in a cgroup and temporarily free up some resources (cpu, io, network bandwidth and, potentially, memory) for some other tasks. Cgroup v2 lacks this functionality. This patch implements freezer for cgroup v2. Cgroup v2 freezer tries to put tasks into a state similar to jobctl stop. This means that tasks can be killed, ptraced (using PTRACE_SEIZE*), and interrupted. It is possible to attach to a frozen task, get some information (e.g. read registers) and detach. It's also possible to migrate a frozen tasks to another cgroup. This differs cgroup v2 freezer from cgroup v1 freezer, which mostly tried to imitate the system-wide freezer. However uninterruptible sleep is fine when all tasks are going to be frozen (hibernation case), it's not the acceptable state for some subset of the system. Cgroup v2 freezer is not supporting freezing kthreads. If a non-root cgroup contains kthread, the cgroup still can be frozen, but the kthread will remain running, the cgroup will be shown as non-frozen, and the notification will not be delivered. * PTRACE_ATTACH is not working because non-fatal signal delivery is blocked in frozen state. There are some interface differences between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 freezer too, which are required to conform the cgroup v2 interface design principles: 1) There is no separate controller, which has to be turned on: the functionality is always available and is represented by cgroup.freeze and cgroup.events cgroup control files. 2) The desired state is defined by the cgroup.freeze control file. Any hierarchical configuration is allowed. 3) The interface is asynchronous. The actual state is available using cgroup.events control file ("frozen" field). There are no dedicated transitional states. 4) It's allowed to make any changes with the cgroup hierarchy (create new cgroups, remove old cgroups, move tasks between cgroups) no matter if some cgroups are frozen.

The rseq system call, when invoked with flags of "0" or "RSEQ_FLAG_UNREGISTER" values, expects the rseq_len parameter to be equal to sizeof(struct rseq), which is fixed-size and fixed-layout, specified in uapi linux/rseq.h. Expecting a fixed size for rseq_len is a design choice that ensures multiple libraries and application defining __rseq_abi in the same process agree on its exact size. Considering that this size is and will always be the same value, there is no point in saving this value within task_struct rseq_len. Remove this field from task_struct.

Patch series "mm/kvm/vfio/ppc64: Migrate compound pages out of CMA region", v8. ppc64 uses the CMA area for the allocation of guest page table (hash page table). We won't be able to start guest if we fail to allocate hash page table. We have observed hash table allocation failure because we failed to migrate pages out of CMA region because they were pinned. This happen when we are using VFIO. VFIO on ppc64 pins the entire guest RAM. If the guest RAM pages get allocated out of CMA region, we won't be able to migrate those pages. The pages are also pinned for the lifetime of the guest. Currently we support migration of non-compound pages. With THP and with the addition of hugetlb migration we can end up allocating compound pages from CMA region. This patch series add support for migrating compound pages. This patch (of 4): Add PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA which make sure any allocation in that context is marked non-movable and hence cannot be satisfied by CMA region. This is useful with get_user_pages_longterm where we want to take a page pin by migrating pages from CMA region. Marking the section PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA ensures that we avoid unnecessary page migration later.

Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator.

This reverts commit 9da3f2b7. It was well-intentioned, but wrong. Overriding the exception tables for instructions for random reasons is just wrong, and that is what the new code did. It caused problems for tracing, and it caused problems for strncpy_from_user(), because the new checks made perfectly valid use cases break, rather than catch things that did bad things. Unchecked user space accesses are a problem, but that's not a reason to add invalid checks that then people have to work around with silly flags (in this case, that 'kernel_uaccess_faults_ok' flag, which is just an odd way to say "this commit was wrong" and was sprinked into random places to hide the wrongness). The real fix to unchecked user space accesses is to get rid of the special "let's not check __get_user() and __put_user() at all" logic. Make __{get|put}_user() be just aliases to the regular {get|put}_user() functions, and make it impossible to access user space without having the proper checks in places. The raison d'être of the special double-underscore versions used to be that the range check was expensive, and if you did multiple user accesses, you'd do the range check up front (like the signal frame handling code, for example). But SMAP (on x86) and PAN (on ARM) have made that optimization pointless, because the _real_ expense is the "set CPU flag to allow user space access". Do let's not break the valid cases to catch invalid cases that shouldn't even exist. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Tobin C.

The current implementation of load tracking invariance scales the contribution with current frequency and uarch performance (only for utilization) of the CPU. One main result of this formula is that the figures are capped by current capacity of CPU. Another one is that the load_avg is not invariant because not scaled with uarch. The util_avg of a periodic task that runs r time slots every p time slots varies in the range : U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p) * y^i < Utilization < U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p) with U is the max util_avg value = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE At a lower capacity, the range becomes: U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p) * y^i' < Utilization < U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p) with C reflecting the compute capacity ratio between current capacity and max capacity. so C tries to compensate changes in (1-y^r') but it can't be accurate. Instead of scaling the contribution value of PELT algo, we should scale the running time. The PELT signal aims to track the amount of computation of tasks and/or rq so it seems more correct to scale the running time to reflect the effective amount of computation done since the last update. In order to be fully invariant, we need to apply the same amount of running time and idle time whatever the current capacity. Because running at lower capacity implies that the task will run longer, we have to ensure that the same amount of idle time will be applied when system becomes idle and no idle time has been "stolen". But reaching the maximum utilization value (SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) means that the task is seen as an always-running task whatever the capacity of the CPU (even at max compute capacity). In this case, we can discard this "stolen" idle times which becomes meaningless. In order to achieve this time scaling, a new clock_pelt is created per rq. The increase of this clock scales with current capacity when something is running on rq and synchronizes with clock_task when rq is idle. With this mechanism, we ensure the same running and idle time whatever the current capacity. This also enables to simplify the pelt algorithm by removing all references of uarch and frequency and applying the same contribution to utilization and loads. Furthermore, the scaling is done only once per update of clock (update_rq_clock_task()) instead of during each update of sched_entities and cfs/rt/dl_rq of the rq like the current implementation. This is interesting when cgroup are involved as shown in the results below: On a hikey (octo Arm64 platform).

I have put below some examples of duration to reach some typical load values according to the capacity of the CPU with current implementation and with this patch. These values has been computed based on the geometric series and the half period value: Util (%) max capacity half capacity(mainline) half capacity(w/ patch) 972 (95%) 138ms not reachable 276ms 486 (47.5%) 30ms 138ms 60ms 256 (25%) 13ms 32ms 26ms On my hikey (octo Arm64 platform) with schedutil governor, the time to reach max OPP when starting from a null utilization, decreases from 223ms with current scale invariance down to 121ms with the new algorithm.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows.

With the default SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_SECCOMP/SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_PRCTL mode, the TIF_SSBD bit will be inherited when a new task is fork'ed or cloned. It will also remain when a new program is execve'ed. Only certain class of applications (like Java) that can run on behalf of multiple users on a single thread will require disabling speculative store bypass for security purposes. Those applications will call prctl(2) at startup time to disable SSB. They won't rely on the fact the SSB might have been disabled. Other applications that don't need SSBD will just move on without checking if SSBD has been turned on or not. The fact that the TIF_SSBD is inherited across execve(2) boundary will cause performance of applications that don't need SSBD but their predecessors have SSBD on to be unwittingly impacted especially if they write to memory a lot. To remedy this problem, a new PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC argument for the PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL option of prctl(2) is added to allow applications to specify that the SSBD feature bit on the task structure should be cleared whenever a new program is being execve'ed.

A UMH process which is created by the fork_usermode_blob() such as bpfilter needs to release members of the umh_info when process is terminated. But the do_exit() does not release members of the umh_info. hence module which uses UMH needs own code to detect whether UMH process is terminated or not. But this implementation needs extra code for checking the status of UMH process. it eventually makes the code more complex. The new PF_UMH flag is added and it is used to identify UMH processes. The exit_umh() does not release members of the umh_info. Hence umh_info->cleanup callback should release both members of the umh_info and the private data. Suggested-by: NDavid S.

Currently, the depth of the ret_stack is determined by curr_ret_stack index. The issue is that there's a race between setting of the curr_ret_stack and calling of the callback attached to the return of the function. Commit 03274a3f ("tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling trace return callback") moved the calling of the callback to after the setting of the curr_ret_stack, even stating that it was safe to do so, when in fact, it was the reason there was a barrier() there (yes, I should have commented that barrier()). Not only does the curr_ret_stack keep track of the current call graph depth, it also keeps the ret_stack content from being overwritten by new data. The function profiler, uses the "subtime" variable of ret_stack structure and by moving the curr_ret_stack, it allows for interrupts to use the same structure it was using, corrupting the data, and breaking the profiler. To fix this, there needs to be two variables to handle the call stack depth and the pointer to where the ret_stack is being used, as they need to change at two different locations.

In PREEMPT kernels, an expedited grace period might send an IPI to a CPU that is executing an RCU read-side critical section. In that case, it would be nice if the rcu_read_unlock() directly interacted with the RCU core code to immediately report the quiescent state. And this does happen in the case where the reader has been preempted. But it would also be a nice performance optimization if immediate reporting also happened in the preemption-free case. This commit therefore adds an ->exp_hint field to the task_struct structure's ->rcu_read_unlock_special field. The IPI handler sets this hint when it has interrupted an RCU read-side critical section, and this causes the outermost rcu_read_unlock() call to invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), which, if preemption is enabled, reports the quiescent state immediately. If preemption is disabled, then the report is required to be deferred until preemption (or bottom halves or interrupts or whatever) is re-enabled. Because this is a hint, it does nothing for more complicated cases. For example, if the IPI interrupts an RCU reader, but interrupts are disabled across the rcu_read_unlock(), but another rcu_read_lock() is executed before interrupts are re-enabled, the hint will already have been cleared. If you do crazy things like this, reporting will be deferred until some later RCU_SOFTIRQ handler, context switch, cond_resched(), or similar.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency and throughput on the individual job can be enormous. In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way to quantify resource pressure in the system. A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO, respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay accounting delays: cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache io: tasks are waiting for io completions These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages, and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs. To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s, 1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

Linus recently observed that if we did not worry about the padding member in struct siginfo it is only about 48 bytes, and 48 bytes is much nicer than 128 bytes for allocating on the stack and copying around in the kernel. The obvious thing of only adding the padding when userspace is including siginfo.h won't work as there are sigframe definitions in the kernel that embed struct siginfo. So split siginfo in two; kernel_siginfo and siginfo. Keeping the traditional name for the userspace definition. While the version that is used internally to the kernel and ultimately will not be padded to 128 bytes is called kernel_siginfo. The definition of struct kernel_siginfo I have put in include/signal_types.h A set of buildtime checks has been added to verify the two structures have the same field offsets. To make it easy to verify the change kernel_siginfo retains the same size as siginfo. The reduction in size comes in a following change. Signed-off-by: N"Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

The idea of erasing the thread stack at the end of syscalls is similar to CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and memzero_explicit() in kernel crypto, which all comply with FDP_RIP.2 (Full Residual Information Protection) of the Common Criteria standard. 2. Blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks (e.g. CVE-2017-17712, CVE-2010-2963). That kind of bugs should be killed by improving C compilers in future, which might take a long time. This commit introduces the code filling the used part of the kernel stack with a poison value before returning to userspace. Full STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a separate commit. The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at: https://grsecurity.net/ https://pax.grsecurity.net/ This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are ours and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Performance impact: Hardware: Intel Core i7-4770, 16 GB RAM Test #1: building the Linux kernel on a single core 0.91% slowdown Test #2: hackbench -s 4096 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P 4.2% slowdown So the STACKLEAK description in Kconfig includes: "The tradeoff is the performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel compilation sees a 1% slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary and you are advised to test this feature on your expected workload before deploying it".

There have been multiple kernel vulnerabilities that permitted userspace to pass completely unchecked pointers through to userspace accessors: - the waitid() bug - commit 96ca579a ("waitid(): Add missing access_ok() checks") - the sg/bsg read/write APIs - the infiniband read/write APIs These don't happen all that often, but when they do happen, it is hard to test for them properly; and it is probably also hard to discover them with fuzzing. Even when an unmapped kernel address is supplied to such buggy code, it just returns -EFAULT instead of doing a proper BUG() or at least WARN(). Try to make such misbehaving code a bit more visible by refusing to do a fixup in the pagefault handler code when a userspace accessor causes a #PF on a kernel address and the current context isn't whitelisted.

The ->b.exp_need_qs field is now set only to false, so this commit removes it. The job this field used to do is now done by the rcu_data structure's ->deferred_qs field, which is a consequence of a better split between task-based (the rcu_node structure's ->exp_tasks field) and CPU-based (the aforementioned rcu_data structure's ->deferred_qs field) tracking of quiescent states for RCU-preempt expedited grace periods.

Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups (syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup < RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests. Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs. The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl, similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to timeout.

Commit 3812c8c8 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM") has changed the ENOMEM semantic of memcg charges. Rather than invoking the oom killer from the charging context it delays the oom killer to the page fault path (pagefault_out_of_memory). This in turn means that many users (e.g. slab or g-u-p) will get ENOMEM when the corresponding memcg hits the hard limit and the memcg is is OOM. This is behavior is inconsistent with !memcg case where the oom killer is invoked from the allocation context and the allocator keeps retrying until it succeeds. The difference in the behavior is user visible. mmap(MAP_POPULATE) might result in not fully populated ranges while the mmap return code doesn't tell that to the userspace. Random syscalls might fail with ENOMEM etc. The primary motivation of the different memcg oom semantic was the deadlock avoidance. Things have changed since then, though. We have an async oom teardown by the oom reaper now and so we do not have to rely on the victim to tear down its memory anymore. Therefore we can return to the original semantic as long as the memcg oom killer is not handed over to the users space. There is still one thing to be careful about here though. If the oom killer is not able to make any forward progress - e.g. because there is no eligible task to kill - then we have to bail out of the charge path to prevent from same class of deadlocks. We have basically two options here. Either we fail the charge with ENOMEM or force the charge and allow overcharge. The first option has been considered more harmful than useful because rare inconsistencies in the ENOMEM behavior is hard to test for and error prone. Basically the same reason why the page allocator doesn't fail allocations under such conditions. The later might allow runaways but those should be really unlikely unless somebody misconfigures the system. E.g. allowing to migrate tasks away from the memcg to a different unlimited memcg with move_charge_at_immigrate disabled.

Patch series "Directed kmem charging", v8. The Linux kernel's memory cgroup allows limiting the memory usage of the jobs running on the system to provide isolation between the jobs. All the kernel memory allocated in the context of the job and marked with __GFP_ACCOUNT will also be included in the memory usage and be limited by the job's limit. The kernel memory can only be charged to the memcg of the process in whose context kernel memory was allocated. However there are cases where the allocated kernel memory should be charged to the memcg different from the current processes's memcg. This patch series contains two such concrete use-cases i.e. fsnotify and buffer_head. The fsnotify event objects can consume a lot of system memory for large or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. The events are allocated in the context of the event producer. However they should be charged to the event consumer. Similarly the buffer_head objects can be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which buffer_head objects are being allocated. To solve this issue, this patch series introduces mechanism to charge kernel memory to a given memcg. In case of fsnotify events, the memcg of the consumer can be used for charging and for buffer_head, the memcg of the page can be charged. For directed charging, the caller can use the scope API memalloc_[un]use_memcg() to specify the memcg to charge for all the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within the scope. This patch (of 2): A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener. However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging API which the producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener. There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches. The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as they are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is unclear whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events attached to the inode. The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the fsnotify_group structure of the listener. This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling the holes.

Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct. Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the leader_pid in signal_struct. The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct. The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove a lot more special cases in the code. Signed-off-by: N"Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
