      [PATCH] pidhash: Refactor the pid hash table · 92476d7f
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Simplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the
      code more capable.
      
      In the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the
      cleanup itself justified the work.  With struct pid being dynamically
      allocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was
      allocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed.  Instead of
      playing with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a
      process.
      
      For myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free
      with simpler code was a big win.  The problem is that if you hold a reference
      to struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory.  If you do that in a user
      controllable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space
      application with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can
      trigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a
      machine wight 1GB of low memory.
      
      If I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my
      task_struct, I don't suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders
      of magnitude smaller.  In fact struct pid is small enough that most other
      kernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring
      data structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory.
      
      This splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct
      pid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one.
      struct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in
      struct task_struct.  struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds
      pointers to each of the pid types.
      
      The independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid,
      because we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table.
      In addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much
      more powerful.
      
      Kernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and
      not suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily
      large amounts of memory allocated.

      [PATCH] pidhash: don't count idle threads · 73b9ebfe
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      fork_idle() does unhash_process() just after copy_process().  Contrary,
      boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr
      = 0.
      
      copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we
      can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and
      kill unhash_process().  We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle()
      because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in
      kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[].
      
      We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init().  free_pidmap() is never
      called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused.  So it is still possible
      to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV.
      
      However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case.  We still
      have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and
      kernel threads which don't call daemonize().

      [PATCH] pidhash: kill switch_exec_pids · d73d6529
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is
      only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader.
      
      Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and
      unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups.  The leader is already in
      the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids.  The only concern for
      the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function
      correctly.  If we don't touch the leader at all we know that
      __unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader.
      
      For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the
      pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it
      to the session and the process group of the thread group.
      
      Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just
      silly.
      
      Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is
      switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being
      performed.
      
      So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is
      creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in
      de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on.
      
      The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little
      clearer there what is going on.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
