      sched: Fix softirq time accounting · 75e1056f
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
      VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:
      
         http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html
      
      The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
      is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
      being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
      is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.
      
      Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
      as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
      softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.
      
      Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
      for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
      processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
      returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.
      
      Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
      to in_serving_softirq.
      
      Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
      changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

      cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sock · f8451725
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Up until now cls_cgroup has relied on fetching the classid out of
      the current executing thread.  This runs into trouble when a packet
      processing is delayed in which case it may execute out of another
      thread's context.
      
      Furthermore, even when a packet is not delayed we may fail to
      classify it if soft IRQs have been disabled, because this scenario
      is indistinguishable from one where a packet unrelated to the
      current thread is processed by a real soft IRQ.
      
      In fact, the current semantics is inherently broken, as a single
      skb may be constructed out of the writes of two different tasks.
      A different manifestation of this problem is when the TCP stack
      transmits in response of an incoming ACK.  This is currently
      unclassified.
      
      As we already have a concept of packet ownership for accounting
      purposes in the skb->sk pointer, this is a natural place to store
      the classid in a persistent manner.
      
      This patch adds the cls_cgroup classid in struct sock, filling up
      an existing hole on 64-bit :)
      
      The value is set at socket creation time.  So all sockets created
      via socket(2) automatically gains the ID of the thread creating it.
      Whenever another process touches the socket by either reading or
      writing to it, we will change the socket classid to that of the
      process if it has a valid (non-zero) classid.
      
      For sockets created on inbound connections through accept(2), we
      inherit the classid of the original listening socket through
      sk_clone, possibly preceding the actual accept(2) call.
      
      In order to minimise risks, I have not made this the authoritative
      classid.  For now it is only used as a backup when we execute
      with soft IRQs disabled.  Once we're completely happy with its
      semantics we can use it as the sole classid.
      
      Footnote: I have rearranged the error path on cls_group module
      creation.  If we didn't do this, then there is a window where
      someone could create a tc rule using cls_group before the cgroup
      subsystem has been registered.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking 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.

      cgroups: net_cls as module · 8e039d84
      Ben Blum 提交于
      Allows the net_cls cgroup subsystem to be compiled as a module
      
      This patch modifies net/sched/cls_cgroup.c to allow the net_cls subsystem
      to be optionally compiled as a module instead of builtin.  The
      cgroup_subsys struct is moved around a bit to allow the subsys_id to be
      either declared as a compile-time constant by the cgroup_subsys.h include
      in cgroup.h, or, if it's a module, initialized within the struct by
      cgroup_load_subsys.

      pkt_sched: Control group classifier · f4009237
      Thomas Graf 提交于
      The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work
      without any special configuration.
      
      The principle of the classifier is to directly access the
      task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work,
      classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is
      not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq
      context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a
      mechanism is needed to trace softirq context. 
      
      This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of
      nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much
      complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable
      if actually needed.
