The big changes are focused on making cgroup hierarchy handling saner. - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir() path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg changes on top. - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to improve hierarchy support. - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant cgroups are frozen. - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy properly. - Various fixes and cleanups. - Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be stacked on top." Fixed up a trivial conflict in mm/memcontrol.c as per Tejun (due to commit bea8c150a7 ("memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops") in master touching code close to commit 2ef37d3fe4 ("memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error handling") in for-3.8) * 'for-3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (65 commits) cgroup: update Documentation/cgroups/00-INDEX cgroup_rm_file: don't delete the uncreated files cgroup: remove subsystem files when remounting cgroup cgroup: use cgroup_addrm_files() in cgroup_clear_directory() cgroup: warn about broken hierarchies only after css_online cgroup: list_del_init() on removed events cgroup: fix lockdep warning for event_control cgroup: move list add after list head initilization netprio_cgroup: allow nesting and inherit config on cgroup creation netprio_cgroup: implement netprio[_set]_prio() helpers netprio_cgroup: use cgroup->id instead of cgroup_netprio_state->prioidx netprio_cgroup: reimplement priomap expansion netprio_cgroup: shorten variable names in extend_netdev_table() netprio_cgroup: simplify write_priomap() netcls_cgroup: move config inheritance to ->css_online() and remove .broken_hierarchy marking cgroup: remove obsolete guarantee from cgroup_task_migrate. cgroup: add cgroup->id cgroup, cpuset: remove cgroup_subsys->post_clone() cgroup: s/CGRP_CLONE_CHILDREN/CGRP_CPUSET_CLONE_CHILDREN/ cgroup: rename ->create/post_create/pre_destroy/destroy() to ->css_alloc/online/offline/free() ...

| * cgroup: remove subsystem files when remounting cgroupGao feng2012-12-031-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup_clear_directroy is called by cgroup_d_remove_dir and cgroup_remount. when we call cgroup_remount to remount the cgroup,the subsystem may be unlinked from cgroupfs_root->subsys_list in rebind_subsystem,this subsystem's files will not be removed in cgroup_clear_directroy. And the system will panic when we try to access these files. this patch removes subsystems's files before rebind_subsystems, if rebind_subsystems failed, repopulate these removed files.

| * cgroup: use cgroup_addrm_files() in cgroup_clear_directory()Gao feng2012-11-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup_clear_directory() incorrectly invokes cgroup_rm_file() on each cftset of the target subsystems, which only removes the first file of each set. This leaves dangling files after subsystems are removed from a cgroup root via remount. Use cgroup_addrm_files() to remove all files of target subsystems. tj: Move cgroup_addrm_files() prototype decl upwards next to other global declarations. Commit message updated.

| * cgroup: warn about broken hierarchies only after css_onlineGlauber Costa2012-11-301-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If everything goes right, it shouldn't really matter if we are spitting this warning after css_alloc or css_online. If we fail between then, there are some ill cases where we would previously see the message and now we won't (like if the files fail to be created). I believe it really shouldn't matter: this message is intended in spirit to be shown when creation succeeds, but with insane settings.

| * cgroup: add cgroup->idTejun Heo2012-11-191-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the introduction of generic cgroup hierarchy iterators, css_id is being phased out. It was unnecessarily complex, id'ing the wrong thing (cgroups need IDs, not CSSes) and has other oddities like not being available at ->css_alloc(). This patch adds cgroup->id, which is a simple per-hierarchy ida-allocated ID which is assigned before ->css_alloc() and released after ->css_free().

| * cgroup, cpuset: remove cgroup_subsys->post_clone()Tejun Heo2012-11-192-48/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently CGRP_CPUSET_CLONE_CHILDREN triggers ->post_clone(). Now that clone_children is cpuset specific, there's no reason to have this rather odd option activation mechanism in cgroup core. cpuset can check the flag from its ->css_allocate() and take the necessary action. Move cpuset_post_clone() logic to the end of cpuset_css_alloc() and remove cgroup_subsys->post_clone(). Loosely based on Glauber's "generalize post_clone into post_create" patch.

| * cgroup: use mutex_trylock() when grabbing i_mutex of a new cgroup directoryTejun Heo2012-11-191-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All cgroup directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex; however, new directory creation is a special case. A new cgroup directory is created while holding cgroup_mutex. Populating the new directory requires both the new directory's i_mutex and cgroup_mutex. Because all directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex, grabbing both requires releasing cgroup_mutex first, which isn't a good idea as the new cgroup isn't yet ready to be manipulated by other cgroup opreations. This is worked around by grabbing the new directory's i_mutex while holding cgroup_mutex before making it visible. As there's no other user at that point, grabbing the i_mutex under cgroup_mutex can't lead to deadlock. cgroup_create_file() was using I_MUTEX_CHILD to tell lockdep not to worry about the reverse locking order; however, this creates pseudo locking dependency cgroup_mutex -> I_MUTEX_CHILD, which isn't true - all directory i_mutexes are still nested outside cgroup_mutex. This pseudo locking dependency can lead to spurious lockdep warnings. Use mutex_trylock() instead. This will always succeed and lockdep doesn't create any locking dependency for it.

| * cgroup: simplify cgroup_load_subsys() failure pathTejun Heo2012-11-191-11/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that cgroup_unload_subsys() can tell whether the root css is online or not, we can safely call cgroup_unload_subsys() after idr init failure in cgroup_load_subsys(). Replace the manual unrolling and invoke cgroup_unload_subsys() on failure. This drops cgroup_mutex inbetween but should be safe as the subsystem will fail try_module_get() and thus can't be mounted inbetween. As this means that cgroup_unload_subsys() can be called before css_sets are rehashed, remove BUG_ON() on %NULL css_set->subsys[] from cgroup_unload_subsys().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New helpers on/offline_css() respectively wrap ->post_create() and ->pre_destroy() invocations. online_css() sets CSS_ONLINE after ->post_create() is complete and offline_css() invokes ->pre_destroy() iff CSS_ONLINE is set and clears it while also handling the temporary dropping of cgroup_mutex. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change at the moment but will be used to improve cgroup_create() failure path and allow ->post_create() to fail.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup->dentry is marked and used as a RCU pointer; however, it isn't one - the final dentry put doesn't go through call_rcu(). cgroup and dentry share the same RCU freeing rule via synchronize_rcu() in cgroup_diput() (kfree_rcu() used on cgrp is unnecessary). If cgrp is accessible under RCU read lock, so is its dentry and dereferencing cgrp->dentry doesn't need any further RCU protection or annotation. While not being accurate, before the previous patch, the RCU accessors served a purpose as memory barriers - cgroup->dentry used to be assigned after the cgroup was made visible to cgroup_path(), so the assignment and dereferencing in cgroup_path() needed the memory barrier pair. Now that list_add_tail_rcu() happens after cgroup->dentry is assigned, this no longer is necessary. Remove the now unnecessary and misleading RCU annotations from cgroup->dentry. To make up for the removal of rcu_dereference_check() in cgroup_path(), add an explicit rcu_lockdep_assert(), which asserts the dereference rule of @cgrp, not cgrp->dentry.

| * cgroup: create directory before linking while creating a new cgroupTejun Heo2012-11-191-18/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While creating a new cgroup, cgroup_create() links the newly allocated cgroup into various places before trying to create its directory. Because cgroup life-cycle is tied to the vfs objects, this makes it impossible to use cgroup_rmdir() for rolling back creation - the removal logic depends on having full vfs objects. This patch moves directory creation above linking and collect linking operations to one place. This allows directory creation failure to share error exit path with css allocation failures and any failure sites afterwards (to be added later) can use cgroup_rmdir() logic to undo creation. Note that this also makes the memory barriers around cgroup->dentry, which currently is misleadingly using RCU operations, unnecessary. This will be handled in the next patch. While at it, locking BUG_ON() on i_mutex is converted to lockdep_assert_held(). v2: Patch originally removed %NULL dentry check in cgroup_path(); however, Li pointed out that this patch doesn't make it unnecessary as ->create() may call cgroup_path().

A cgroup is thawed iff it and all its ancestors are THAWED. freezer.self_freezing shows the current freezing state for the cgroup itself. freezer.parent_freezing shows whether the cgroup is freezing because any of its ancestors is freezing. freezer_post_create() locks the parent and new cgroup and inherits the parent's state and freezer_change_state() applies new state top-down using cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which guarantees that no child can escape its parent's state. update_if_frozen() uses cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() to propagate frozen states bottom-up. Synchronization could be coarser and easier by using a single mutex to protect all hierarchy operations. Finer grained approach was used because it wasn't too difficult for cgroup_freezer and I think it's beneficial to have an example implementation and cgroup_freezer is rather simple and can serve a good one. As this makes cgroup_freezer properly hierarchical, freezer_subsys.broken_hierarchy marking is removed. Note that this patch changes userland visible behavior - freezing a cgroup now freezes all its descendants too. This behavior change is intended and has been warned via .broken_hierarchy. v2: Michal spotted a bug in freezer_change_state() - descendants were inheriting from the wrong ancestor. Fixed. v3: Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt updated. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz>

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.

Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise. 2. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy(). 3. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can still be destroyed; fail otherwise. 4. Continue destroying. In addition to being ugly, it has been always broken in various ways. For example, memcg ->pre_destroy() expects the cgroup to be inactive after it's done but tasks can be attached and detached between #2 and #3 and the conditions that memcg verified in ->pre_destroy() might no longer hold by the time control reaches #3. Now that ->pre_destroy() is no longer allowed to fail. We can switch to the following. 1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise. 2. Deactivate CSS's and mark the cgroup removed thus preventing any further operations which can invalidate the verification from #1. 3. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy(). 4. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and continue destroying. After this change, controllers can safely assume that ->pre_destroy() will only be called only once for a given cgroup and, once ->pre_destroy() is called, the cgroup will stay dormant till it's destroyed. This removes the only reason ->pre_destroy() can fail - new task being attached or child cgroup being created inbetween.

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. v2: Comment updated and explanation on local_irq_disable/enable() added per Michal Hocko.

This makes cgroup_freezer cumbersome to use especially when co-mounted with other controllers. ->can_attach() is problematic in general as it can make co-mounting multiple cgroups difficult - migrating tasks may fail for reasons completely irrelevant for other controllers. freezer_can_attach() in particular is more problematic because it messes with cgroup internal locking to ensure that the state verification performed at freezer_can_attach() stays valid until migration is complete. This patch replaces freezer_can_attach() with freezer_attach() so that tasks are always allowed to migrate - they are nudged into the conforming state from freezer_attach(). This means that there can be tasks which are being migrated which don't conform to the current cgroup_freezer state until freezer_attach() is complete. Under the current locking scheme, the only such place is freezer_fork() which is updated to handle such window. While this patch doesn't remove the use of internal cgroup locking from freezer_read/write() paths, it removes the requirement to keep the freezer state constant while migrating and enables such change. Note that this creates a userland visible behavior change - FROZEN cgroup can no longer be used to lock migrations in and out of the cgroup. This behavior change is intended. I don't think the feature is necessary - userland should coordinate accesses to cgroup fs anyway - and even if the feature is needed cgroup_freezer is the completely wrong place to implement it.
