      cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() race · 65dff759
      Li Zefan 提交于
      rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
      be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
      a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
      a longer name.
      
      As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or
      parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can
      be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate
      cgroup path using dentry->d_name.
      
      Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in
      cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at
      rename().
      
      v5: use flexible array instead of zero-size array.
      v4: - allocate root_cgroup_name and all root_cgroup->name points to it.
          - add cgroup_name() wrapper.
      v3: use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() in user-visible path.
      v2: make cgrp->name RCU safe.

      cgroup: implement generic child / descendant walk macros · 574bd9f7
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, cgroup doesn't provide any generic helper for walking a
      given cgroup's children or descendants.  This patch adds the following
      three macros.
      
      * cgroup_for_each_child() - walk immediate children of a cgroup.
      
      * cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() - visit all descendants of a cgroup
        in pre-order tree traversal.
      
      * cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() - visit all descendants of a
        cgroup in post-order tree traversal.
      
      All three only require the user to hold RCU read lock during
      traversal.  Verifying that each iterated cgroup is online is the
      responsibility of the user.  When used with proper synchronization,
      cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() can be used to propagate state
      updates to descendants in reliable way.  See comments for details.
      
      v2: s/config/state/ in commit message and comments per Michal.  More
          documentation on synchronization rules.

      Use RCU safe list operations for cgroup->children.  This will be used
      to implement cgroup children / descendant walking which can be used by
      controllers.
      
      Note that cgroup_create() now puts a new cgroup at the end of the

      done so that the iteration order is more conventional.

      cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->post_create() · a8638030
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, there's no way for a controller to find out whether a new
      cgroup finished all ->create() allocatinos successfully and is
      considered "live" by cgroup.
      
      This becomes a problem later when we add generic descendants walking
      to cgroup which can be used by controllers as controllers don't have a
      synchronization point where it can synchronize against new cgroups
      appearing in such walks.
      
      This patch adds ->post_create().  It's called after all ->create()
      succeeded and the cgroup is linked into the generic cgroup hierarchy.
      This plays the counterpart of ->pre_destroy().
      
      When used in combination with the to-be-added generic descendant
      iterators, ->post_create() can be used to implement reliable state
      inheritance.  It will be explained with the descendant iterators.
      
      v2: Added a paragraph about its future use w/ descendant iterators per
          Michal.
      
      v3: Forgot to add ->post_create() invocation to cgroup_load_subsys().

      cgroup: remove CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR, cgroup_exclude_rmdir() and cgroup_release_and_wakeup_rmdir() · b25ed609
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup
      destruction rollback somewhat working.  cgroup_rmdir() used to drain
      CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and
      helpers were used to allow the task performing rmdir to wait for the
      next relevant event.
      
      Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the
      mechanism got exposed to memcg by 88703267 ("cgroup avoid permanent
      sleep at rmdir").
      
      Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is
      unnecessary.  Remove it and all the mechanisms supporting it.  Note
      that memcontrol.c changes are essentially revert of 88703267
      ("cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir").

      cgroup: kill CSS_REMOVED · e9316080
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
      support css reference draining on cgroup removal.  All css->refcnts
      which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
      atomically w.r.t. css_tryget().  If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
      needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
      process.
      
      This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
      refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
      (committing to removal).
      
      Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
      atomic rollback mechanism.  css_tryget() simply can look at the
      reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
      re-activated.
      
      This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
      the refcnt is deactivated.  As deactivation and removal are a single
      step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
      happening from irq context.  Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
      cgroup_rmdir().
      
      Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
      in memcontrol.c.  We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
      given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
      simply unexport it.

      amount of churn.
      
      local_irq_save/restore() from cgroup_clear_css_refs() are replaced
      with local_irq_disable/enable() for simplicity.  This is safe as
      cgroup_rmdir() is always called with IRQ enabled.  Note that this IRQ
      switching is necessary to ensure that css_tryget() isn't called from
      IRQ context on the same CPU while lower context is between CSS
      deactivation and setting CSS_REMOVED as css_tryget() would hang
      forever in such cases waiting for CSS to be re-activated or

      cgroup: cgroup_subsys->fork() should be called after the task is added to css_set · 5edee61e
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
      notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
      the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
      the current state.  If done in the reverse order, an event happening
      inbetween will be lost.
      
      cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
      the css_set.  Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
      and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
      freezer.  If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
      between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
      could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
      called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.
      
      This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
      cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
      cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.
      
      Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
      freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
      and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
      is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

      cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them · 8c7f6edb
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess.  cpu related subsystems
      behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
      properly cover its children.  blkio and freezer completely ignore
      hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
      cgroup.  Others show yet different behaviors.
      
      These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
      confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
      hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.
      
      Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
      probably a unified hierarchy.  Users using separate hierarchies
      expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
      subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.
      
      This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
      for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support.  The goal of
      this patch is two-fold.
      
      * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
        subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
        doesn't surprise them.
      
      * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
        subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.
      
      For now, start with a single warning message.  We can whine louder
      later on.
      
      v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
      
      v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
          cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
          different from root.use_hierarchy=true.  Fixed a typo spotted by
          Glauber.
      
      v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
          ->create() can affect the result per Michal.  Dropped unnecessary
          memcg root handling per Michal.

      WARNING: With this change it is impossible to load external built
      controllers anymore.
      
      In case where CONFIG_NETPRIO_CGROUP=m and CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP=m is
      set, corresponding subsys_id should also be a constant. Up to now,
      net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id would be of the type int and
      the value would be assigned during runtime.
      
      By switching the macro definition IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED from IS_BUILTIN
      to IS_ENABLED, all *_subsys_id will have constant value. That means we
      need to remove all the code which assumes a value can be assigned to
      net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id.
      
      A close look is necessary on the RCU part which was introduces by
      following patch:
      
        commit f8451725
        Author:	Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>  Mon May 24 09:12:34 2010

        Tis code was added to init_cgroup_cls()
      
      	  /* We can't use rcu_assign_pointer because this is an int. */
      	  smp_wmb();
      	  net_cls_subsys_id = net_cls_subsys.subsys_id;
      
        respectively to exit_cgroup_cls()
      
      	  net_cls_subsys_id = -1;
      	  synchronize_rcu();
      
        and in module version of task_cls_classid()
      
      	  rcu_read_lock();
      	  id = rcu_dereference(net_cls_subsys_id);
      	  if (id >= 0)
      		  classid = container_of(task_subsys_state(p, id),
      					 struct cgroup_cls_state, css)->classid;
      	  rcu_read_unlock();
      
      Without an explicit explaination why the RCU part is needed. (The
      rcu_deference was fixed by exchanging it to rcu_derefence_index_check()
      in a later commit, but that is a minor detail.)
      
      So here is my pondering why it was introduced and why it safe to
      remove it now. Note that this code was copied over to net_prio the
      reasoning holds for that subsystem too.
      
      The idea behind the RCU use for net_cls_subsys_id is to make sure we
      get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state(). task_subsys_state()
      is just blindly accessing the subsys array and returning the
      pointer. Obviously, passing in -1 as id into task_subsys_state()
      returns an invalid value (out of lower bound).
      
      So this code makes sure that only after module is loaded and the
      subsystem registered, the id is assigned.
      
      Before unregistering the module all old readers must have left the
      critical section. This is done by assigning -1 to the id and issuing a
      synchronized_rcu(). Any new readers wont call task_subsys_state()
      anymore and therefore it is safe to unregister the subsystem.
      
      The new code relies on the same trick, but it looks at the subsys
      pointer return by task_subsys_state() (remember the id is constant
      and therefore we allways have a valid index into the subsys
      array).
      
      No precautions need to be taken during module loading
      module. Eventually, all CPUs will get a valid pointer back from
      task_subsys_state() because rebind_subsystem() which is called after
      the module init() function will assigned subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] the
      newly loaded module subsystem pointer.
      
      When the subsystem is about to be removed, rebind_subsystem() will
      called before the module exit() function. In this case,
      rebind_subsys() will assign subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] a NULL pointer
      and then it calls synchronize_rcu(). All old readers have left by then
      the critical section. Any new reader wont access the subsystem
      anymore.  At this point we are safe to unregister the subsystem. No
      synchronize_rcu() call is needed.

      cgroup: Wrap subsystem selection macro · 5fc0b025
      Daniel Wagner 提交于
      Before we are able to define all subsystem ids at compile time we need
      a more fine grained control what gets defined when we include
      cgroup_subsys.h. For example we define the enums for the subsystems or
      to declare for struct cgroup_subsys (builtin subsystem) by including
      cgroup_subsys.h and defining SUBSYS accordingly.
      
      Currently, the decision if a subsys is used is defined inside the
      header by testing if CONFIG_*=y is true. By moving this test outside
      of cgroup_subsys.h we are able to control it on the include level.
      
      This is done by introducing IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED which then is defined
      according the task, e.g. is CONFIG_*=y or CONFIG_*=m.

      cgroup: Remove CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT · be45c900
      Daniel Wagner 提交于
      CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT is used as start index or stop index when
      looping over the subsys array looking either at the builtin or the
      module subsystems. Since all the builtin subsystems have an id which
      is lower then CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT we know that any module will
      have an id larger than CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT. In short the ids
      are sorted.
      
      We are about to change id assignment to happen only at compile time
      later in this series. That means we can't rely on the above trick
      since all ids will always be defined at compile time. Furthermore,
      ordering the builtin subsystems and the module subsystems is not
      really necessary.
      
      So we need a different way to know which subsystem is a builtin or a
      module one. We can use the subsys[]->module pointer for this. Any
      place where we need to know if a subsys is module we just check for
      the pointer. If it is NULL then the subsystem is a builtin one.
      
      With this we are able to drop the CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT
      enum. Though we need to introduce a temporary placeholder so that we
      don't get a compilation error when only CONFIG_CGROUP is selected and
      no single controller. An empty enum definition is not valid. Later in
      this series we are able to remove the placeholder again.
      
      And with this change we get a fix for this:
      
      kernel/cgroup.c: In function ‘cgroup_load_subsys’:
      kernel/cgroup.c:4326:38: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
      
      when CONFIG_CGROUP=y and no built in controller was enabled.

      cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional · 48ddbe19
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references.  If there
      are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries
      ->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is
      cancelled.
      
      This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup
      core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal
      implementation details (references to internal data structure) with
      externally visible operation (rmdir).  To userland, this is a behavior
      peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is
      otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations,
      this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs
      for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang).
      
      Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and
      cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new
      behavior.  This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for
      css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which
      have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set.
      
      Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old
      behavior as proposed in the following patch.  Note that the following
      patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose
      some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and
      __css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead
      of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed.
      
        http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251
      
      Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting
      warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please
      get moving.

      cgroup: use negative bias on css->refcnt to block css_tryget() · 28b4c27b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      When a cgroup is about to be removed, cgroup_clear_css_refs() is
      called to check and ensure that there are no active css references.
      
      This is currently achieved by dropping the refcnt to zero iff it has
      only the base ref.  If all css refs could be dropped to zero, ref
      clearing is successful and CSS_REMOVED is set on all css.  If not, the
      base ref is restored.  While css ref is zero w/o CSS_REMOVED set, any
      css_tryget() attempt on it busy loops so that they are atomic
      w.r.t. the whole css ref clearing.
      
      This does work but dropping and re-instating the base ref is somewhat
      hairy and makes it difficult to add more logic to the put path as
      there are two of them - the regular css_put() and the reversible base
      ref clearing.
      
      This patch updates css ref clearing such that blocking new
      css_tryget() and putting the base ref are separate operations.
      CSS_DEACT_BIAS, defined as INT_MIN, is added to css->refcnt and
      css_tryget() busy loops while refcnt is negative.  After all css refs
      are deactivated, if they were all one, ref clearing succeeded and
      CSS_REMOVED is set and the base ref is put using the regular
      css_put(); otherwise, CSS_DEACT_BIAS is subtracted from the refcnts
      and the original postive values are restored.
      
      css_refcnt() accessor which always returns the unbiased positive
      reference counts is added and used to simplify refcnt usages.  While
      at it, relocate and reformat comments in cgroup_has_css_refs().
      
      This separates css->refcnt deactivation and putting the base ref,
      which enables the next patch to make ref clearing optional.

      cgroup: introduce struct cfent · 05ef1d7c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch adds cfent (cgroup file entry) which is the association
      between a cgroup and a file.  This is in-cgroup representation of
      files under a cgroup directory.  This simplifies walking walking
      cgroup files and thus cgroup_clear_directory(), which is now
      implemented in two parts - cgroup_rm_file() and a loop around it.
      
      cgroup_rm_file() will be used to implement cftype removal and cfent is
      scheduled to serve cgroup specific per-file data (e.g. for sysfs-like
      "sever" semantics).
      
      v2: - cfe was freed from cgroup_rm_file() which led to use-after-free
            if the file had openers at the time of removal.  Moved to
            cgroup_diput().
      
          - cgroup_clear_directory() triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() if d_subdirs
            wasn't empty after removing all files.  This triggered
            spuriously if some files were open during directory clearing.
            Removed.
      
      v3: - In cgroup_diput(), WARN_ONCE(!list_empty(&cfe->node)) could be
            spuriously triggered for root cgroups because they don't go
            through cgroup_clear_directory() on unmount.  Don't trigger WARN
            for root cgroups.

      cgroup: implement cgroup_add_cftypes() and friends · 8e3f6541
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate()
      callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation.  This
      level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable.  It provides largely
      unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what
      the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions.
      
      Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is
      making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be
      expressed with flags.
      
      This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes().  These deal with cftypes
      instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types
      of files exist for certain subsystem.  Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT
      flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on
      the root cgroup.
      
      cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target
      subsystem is currently attached or not.  cgroup core will create files
      on the existing cgroups as necessary.
      
      Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the
      base files for the subsystem.  If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes
      pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys
      init / load.
      
      Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file
      based interface.  Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of
      files to an active controller.  This will be used for sub-controller
      modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term.
      
      This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any
      user.
      
      v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with
          cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys
          which is loaded as module.

      cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks · 761b3ef5
      Li Zefan 提交于
      The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because
      a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it
      belongs to.
      
      Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of
      this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().
      
      So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size
      is minimal.
