      freezer: remove racy clear_freeze_flag() and set PF_NOFREEZE on dead tasks · a585042f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      clear_freeze_flag() in exit_mm() is racy.  Freezing can start
      afterwards.  Remove it.  Skipping freezer for exiting task will be
      properly implemented later.
      
      Also, freezable() was testing exit_state directly to make system
      freezer ignore dead tasks.  Let the exiting task set PF_NOFREEZE after
      entering TASK_DEAD instead.

      freezer: rename thaw_process() to __thaw_task() and simplify the implementation · a5be2d0d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      thaw_process() now has only internal users - system and cgroup
      freezers.  Remove the unnecessary return value, rename, unexport and
      collapse __thaw_process() into it.  This will help further updates to
      the freezer code.
      
      -v3: oom_kill grew a use of thaw_process() while this patch was
           pending.  Convert it to use __thaw_task() for now.  In the longer
           term, this should be handled by allowing tasks to die if killed
           even if it's frozen.

      PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory · 2aede851
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      There is a problem with the current ordering of hibernate code which
      leads to deadlocks in some filesystems' memory shrinkers.  Namely,
      some filesystems use freezable kernel threads that are inactive when
      the hibernate memory preallocation is carried out.  Those same
      filesystems use memory shrinkers that may be triggered by the
      hibernate memory preallocation.  If those memory shrinkers wait for
      the frozen kernel threads, the hibernate process deadlocks (this
      happens with XFS, for one example).
      
      Apparently, it is not technically viable to redesign the filesystems
      in question to avoid the situation described above, so the only
      possible solution of this issue is to defer the freezing of kernel
      threads until the hibernate memory preallocation is done, which is
      implemented by this change.
      
      Unfortunately, this requires the memory preallocation to be done
      before the "prepare" stage of device freeze, so after this change the
      only way drivers can allocate additional memory for their freeze
      routines in a clean way is to use PM notifiers.

      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.

      workqueue: reimplement workqueue freeze using max_active · a0a1a5fd
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, workqueue freezing is implemented by marking the worker
      freezeable and calling try_to_freeze() from dispatch loop.
      Reimplement it using cwq->limit so that the workqueue is frozen
      instead of the worker.
      
      * workqueue_struct->saved_max_active is added which stores the
        specified max_active on initialization.
      
      * On freeze, all cwq->max_active's are quenched to zero.  Freezing is
        complete when nr_active on all cwqs reach zero.
      
      * On thaw, all cwq->max_active's are restored to wq->saved_max_active
        and the worklist is repopulated.
      
      This new implementation allows having single shared pool of workers
      per cpu.

      Freezer: Fix buggy resume test for tasks frozen with cgroup freezer · 5a7aadfe
      Matt Helsley 提交于
      When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw
      those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer
      state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN.  If so
      then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates
      that the task should remain frozen.
      
      This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state
      transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads
      or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that
      resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if
      there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this
      transition before suspend.
      
      NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup
      freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons:
      Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires
      walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen.
      Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number
      of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code
      path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered.
      
      Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy
      updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that
      a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that
      state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen
      cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

      mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozen · 7f33d49a
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory:
      
      * Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend.
      * Free pages are almost exhausted.
      * Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate
        some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or
        equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
      * __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the
        OOM killer.
      * The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so
        it doesn't die immediately.
      * __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries
        to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer.
      * No progress can be made.
      
      Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory
      shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically
      possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been
      removed from that code path.  Moreover, since memory allocations are
      going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even
      more likely to happen during hibernation.
      
      To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch
      that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in
      which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set
      this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

      Freezer: Introduce PF_FREEZER_NOSIG · ebb12db5
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      The freezer currently attempts to distinguish kernel threads from
      user space tasks by checking if their mm pointer is unset and it
      does not send fake signals to kernel threads.  However, there are
      kernel threads, mostly related to networking, that behave like
      user space tasks and may want to be sent a fake signal to be frozen.
      
      Introduce the new process flag PF_FREEZER_NOSIG that will be set
      by default for all kernel threads and make the freezer only send
      fake signals to the tasks having PF_FREEZER_NOSIG unset.  Provide
      the set_freezable_with_signal() function to be called by the kernel
      threads that want to be sent a fake signal for freezing.
      
      This patch should not change the freezer's observable behavior.

      freezer vs stopped or traced · 13b1c3d4
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment
      of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states.
      
      As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks
      from doing anything significant.  For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and
      TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough".  It's possible the tasks might resume
      from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals
      (including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc).  But this
      doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is
      in effect.  Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that
      try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of
      stop.  This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested.
      
      Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from
      suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all
      your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them.
      It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for
      ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

      [PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezer · 8a102eed
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
      PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it.  Unfortunately there
      are two SMP-related problems with this approach.  First, a task running on
      another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
      PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
      state.  Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
      refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
      task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
      set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it.  If
      the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
      hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
      will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.
      
      To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
      tasks that they should go to the refrigerator.  Instead, we can introduce a
      special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
      change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.
      
      To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
      freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
      its "freeze" flag.  We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
      always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

      [PATCH] PM: Fix freezing of stopped tasks · 3df494a3
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, if a task is stopped (ie.  it's in the TASK_STOPPED state), it
      is considered by the freezer as unfreezeable.  However, there may be a race
      between the freezer and the delivery of the continuation signal to the task
      resulting in the task running after we have finished freezing the other
      tasks.  This, in turn, may lead to undesirable effects up to and including
      data corruption.
      
      To prevent this from happening we first need to make the freezer consider
      stopped tasks as freezeable.  For this purpose we need to make freezeable()
      stop returning 0 for these tasks and we need to force them to enter the
      refrigerator.  However, if there's no continuation signal in the meantime,
      the stopped tasks should remain stopped after all processes have been
      thawed, so we need to send an additional SIGSTOP to each of them before
      waking it up.
      
      Also, a stopped task that has just been woken up should first check if
      there's a freezing request for it and go to the refrigerator if that's the
      case.
