2014-04-07cgroup: newly created dirs and files should be owned by the creatorTejun Heo
While converting cgroup to kernfs, 2bd59d48ebfb ("cgroup: convert to kernfs") accidentally dropped the logic which makes newly created cgroup dirs and files owned by the current uid / gid. This broke cases where cgroup subtree management is delegated to !root as the sub manager wouldn't be able to create more than single level of hierarchy or put tasks into child cgroups it created. Among other things, this breaks user session management in systemd and one of the symptoms was 90s hang during shutdown. User session systemd running as the user creates a sub-service to initiate shutdown and tries to put kill(1) into it but fails because cgroup.procs is owned by root. This leads to 90s hang during shutdown. Implement cgroup_kn_set_ugid() which sets a kn's uid and gid to those of the caller and use it from file and dir creation paths.

As mount() and kill_sb() is not a one-to-one match, If we mount the same cgroupfs in serveral mount points, and then umount all of them, kill_sb() will be called only once. Try: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup # mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup2 # cat /proc/cgroups | grep cpuacct cpuacct 2 1 1 # umount /cgroup # umount /cgroup2 # cat /proc/cgroups | grep cpuacct cpuacct 2 1 1 You'll see cgroupfs will never be freed.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot updates for cgroup: - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is actually necessary, needed to be employed. After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting i_mutexes. - Various simplifications including dropping of module support, easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type handling and task_cg_lists optimization. - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy. Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for anyway. - Various fixes from Li and others.

This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.

2014-03-20cgroup: break kernfs active_ref protection in cgroup directory operationsTejun Heo
cgroup_tree_mutex should nest above the kernfs active_ref protection; however, cgroup_create() and cgroup_rename() were grabbing cgroup_tree_mutex while under kernfs active_ref protection. This has actualy possibility to lead to deadlocks in case these operations race against cgroup_rmdir() which invokes kernfs_remove() on directory kernfs_node while holding cgroup_tree_mutex. Neither cgroup_create() or cgroup_rename() requires active_ref protection. The former already has enough synchronization through cgroup_lock_live_group() and the latter doesn't care, so this can be fixed by updating both functions to break all active_ref protections before grabbing cgroup_tree_mutex. While this patch fixes the immediate issue, it probably needs further work in the long term - kernfs directories should enable lockdep annotations and maybe the better way to handle this is marking directory nodes as not needing active_ref protection rather than breaking it in each operation.

2014-03-19cgroup: fix cgroup_taskset walking orderTejun Heo
cgroup_taskset is used to track and iterate target tasks while migrating a task or process and should guarantee that the first task iterated is the task group leader if a process is being migrated. b3dc094e9390 ("cgroup: use css_set->mg_tasks to track target tasks during migration") replaced flex array cgroup_taskset->tc_array with css_set->mg_tasks list to remove process size limit and dynamic allocation during migration; unfortunately, it incorrectly used list operations which don't preserve order breaking the guarantee that cgroup_taskset_first() returns the leader for a process target. Fix it by using order preserving list operations. Note that as multiple src_csets may map to a single dst_cset, the iteration order may change across cgroup_task_migrate(); however, the leader is still guaranteed to be the first entry. The switch to list_splice_tail_init() at the end of cgroup_migrate() isn't strictly necessary. Let's still do it for consistency. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2014-03-19cgroup: make cgrp_dfl_root mountableTejun Heo
cgrp_dfl_root will be used as the default unified hierarchy. This patch makes cgrp_dfl_root mountable by making the following changes. * cgroup_init_early() now initializes cgrp_dfl_root w/ CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR. The default hierarchy is always sane. * parse_cgroupfs_options() and cgroup_mount() are updated such that cgrp_dfl_root is mounted if sane_behavior is specified w/o any subsystems. * rebind_subsystems() now populates the root directory of cgrp_dfl_root. Note that the function still guarantees success of rebinding subsystems to cgrp_dfl_root. If populating fails while rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, it whines but ignores the error. * For backward compatibility, the default hierarchy shows up in /proc/$PID/cgroup only after it's explicitly mounted so that userland which doesn't make use of it doesn't see any change. * "current_css_set_cg_links" file of debug cgroup now treats the default hierarchy the same as other hierarchies. This is visible to userland. Given that it's for debug controller, this should be fine. * While at it, implement cgroup_on_dfl() which tests whether a give cgroup is on the default hierarchy or not. The above changes make cgrp_dfl_root mostly equivalent to other controllers but the actual unified hierarchy behaviors are not implemented yet.

2014-03-19cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to cgroupTejun Heo
cgroupfs_root->subsys_mask represents the controllers attached to the hierarchy. This patch moves the field to cgroup. Subsystem initialization and rebinding updates the top cgroup's subsys_mask. For !root cgroups, the subsys_mask bits are set from create_css() and cleared from kill_css(), which effectively means that all cgroups will have the same subsys_mask as the top cgroup. While this doesn't make any difference now, this will help implementation of the default unified hierarchy where !root cgroups may have subsets of the top_cgroup's subsys_mask. While at it, __kill_css() is split out of kill_css(). The former doesn't care about the subsys_mask while the latter becomes noop if the controller is already killed and clears the matching bit if not before proceeding to killing the css. This will be used later by the default unified hierarchy implementation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
2014-03-19cgroup: treat cgroup_dummy_root as an equivalent hierarchy during rebindingTejun Heo
Currently, while rebinding, cgroup_dummy_root serves as the anchor point. In addition to the target root, rebind_subsystems() takes @added_mask and @removed_mask. The subsystems specified in the former are expected to be on the dummy root and then moved to the target root. The ones in the latter are moved from non-dummy root to dummy. Now that the dummy root is a fully functional one and we're planning to use it for the default unified hierarchy, this level of distinction between dummy and non-dummy roots is quite awkward. This patch updates rebind_subsystems() to take the target root and one subsystem mask and move the specified subsystmes to the target root which may or may not be the dummy root. IOW, unbinding now becomes moving the subsystems to the dummy root and binding to non-dummy root. This makes the dummy root mostly equivalent to other hierarchies in terms of the mechanism of moving subsystems around; however, we still retain all the semantical restrictions so that this patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior differences. Another noteworthy detail is that rebind_subsystems() guarantees that moving a subsystem to the dummy root never fails so that valid unmounting attempts always succeed. This unifies binding and unbinding of subsystems. The invocation points of ->bind() were inconsistent between the two and now moved after whole rebinding is complete. This doesn't break the current users and generally makes more sense. All rebind_subsystems() users are converted accordingly. Note that cgroup_remount() now makes two calls to rebind_subsystems() to bind and then unbind the requested subsystems. This will allow repurposing of the dummy hierarchy as the default unified hierarchy and shouldn't make any userland visible behavior difference.

2014-03-19cgroup: use cgroup_setup_root() to initialize cgroup_dummy_rootTejun Heo
cgroup_dummy_root is used to host controllers which aren't attached to any other hierarchy. The root is minimally set up during kernfs bootstrap and didn't go through full hierarchy initialization. We're planning to use cgroup_dummy_root for the default unified hierarchy and thus want it to be fully functional. Replace the special initialization, which was collected into cgroup_init() by the previous patch, with an invocation of cgroup_setup_root(). This simplifies the init path and makes cgroup_dummy_root a full hierarchy with its own kernfs_root and all. As this puts the dummy hierarchy on the cgroup_roots list, rename for_each_active_root() to for_each_root() and update its users to skip the dummy root for now. This patch doesn't cause any userland visible behavior changes at this point. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
2014-03-19cgroup: reorganize cgroup bootstrappingTejun Heo
* Fields of init_css_set and css_set_count are now set using initializer instead of programmatically from cgroup_init_early(). * init_cgroup_root() now also takes @opts and performs the optional part of initialization too. The leftover part of cgroup_root_from_opts() is collapsed into its only caller - cgroup_mount(). * Initialization of cgroup_root_count and linking of init_css_set are moved from cgroup_init_early() to to cgroup_init(). None of the early_init users depends on init_css_set being linked. * Subsystem initializations are moved after dummy hierarchy init and init_css_set linking. These changes reorganize the bootstrap logic so that the dummy hierarchy can share the usual hierarchy init path and be made more normal. These changes don't make noticeable behavior changes.

2014-02-25cgroup: update how a newly forked task gets associated with css_setTejun Heo
When a new process is forked, cgroup_fork() associates it with the css_set of its parent but doesn't link it into it. After the new process is linked to tasklist, cgroup_post_fork() does the linking. This is problematic for cgroup_transfer_tasks() as there's no way to tell whether there are tasks which are pointing to a css_set but not linked yet. It is impossible to implement an operation which transfer all tasks of a cgroup to another and the current cgroup_transfer_tasks() can easily be tricked into leaving a newly forked process behind if it gets called between cgroup_fork() and cgroup_post_fork(). Let's make association with a css_set and linking atomic by moving it to cgroup_post_fork(). cgroup_fork() sets child->cgroups to init_css_set as a placeholder and cgroup_post_fork() is updated to perform both the association with the parent's cgroup and linking there. This means that a newly created task will point to init_css_set without holding a ref to it much like what it does on the exit path. Empty cg_list is used to indicate that the task isn't holding a ref to the associated css_set. This fixes an actual bug with cgroup_transfer_tasks(); however, I'm not marking it for -stable. The whole thing is broken in multiple other ways which require invasive updates to fix and I don't think it's worthwhile to bother with backporting this particular one. Fortunately, the only user is cpuset and these bugs don't crash the machine. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
2014-02-25cgroup: split process / task migration into four stepsTejun Heo
Currently, process / task migration is a single operation which may fail depending on memory pressure or the involved controllers' ->can_attach() callbacks. One problem with this approach is migration of multiple targets. It's impossible to tell whether a given target will be successfully migrated beforehand and cgroup core can't keep track of enough states to roll back after intermediate failure. This is already an issue with cgroup_transfer_tasks(). Also, we're gonna need multiple target migration for unified hierarchy. This patch splits migration into four stages - cgroup_migrate_add_src(), cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst(), cgroup_migrate() and cgroup_migrate_finish(), where cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() performs all the operations which may fail due to allocation failure without actually migrating the target. The four separate stages mean that, disregarding ->can_attach() failures, the success or failure of multi target migration can be determined before performing any actual migration. If preparations of all targets succeed, the whole thing will succeed. If not, the whole operation can fail without any side-effect. Since the previous patch to use css_set->mg_tasks to keep track of migration targets, the only thing which may need memory allocation during migration is the target css_sets. cgroup_migrate_prepare() pins all source and target css_sets and link them up. Note that this can be performed without holding threadgroup_lock even if the target is a process. As long as cgroup_mutex is held, no new css_set can be put into play.

2014-02-25cgroup: use css_set->mg_tasks to track target tasks during migrationTejun Heo
Currently, while migrating tasks from one cgroup to another, cgroup_attach_task() builds a flex array of all target tasks; unfortunately, this has a couple issues. * Flex array has size limit. On 64bit, struct task_and_cgroup is 24bytes making the flex element limit around 87k. It is a high number but not impossible to hit. This means that the current cgroup implementation can't migrate a process with more than 87k threads. * Process migration involves memory allocation whose size is dependent on the number of threads the process has. This means that cgroup core can't guarantee success or failure of multi-process migrations as memory allocation failure can happen in the middle. This is in part because cgroup can't grab threadgroup locks of multiple processes at the same time, so when there are multiple processes to migrate, it is imposible to tell how many tasks are to be migrated beforehand. Note that this already affects cgroup_transfer_tasks(). cgroup currently cannot guarantee atomic success or failure of the operation. It may fail in the middle and after such failure cgroup doesn't have enough information to roll back properly. It just aborts with some tasks migrated and others not. To resolve the situation, this patch updates the migration path to use task->cg_list to track target tasks. The previous patch already added css_set->mg_tasks and updated iterations in non-migration paths to include them during task migration. This patch updates migration path to actually make use of it. Instead of putting onto a flex_array, each target task is moved from its css_set->tasks list to css_set->mg_tasks and the migration path keeps trace of all the source css_sets and the associated cgroups. Once all source css_sets are determined, the destination css_set for each is determined, linked to the matching source css_set and put on a separate list. To iterate the target tasks, migration path just needs to iterat through either the source or target css_sets, depending on whether migration has been committed or not, and the tasks on their ->mg_tasks lists. cgroup_taskset is updated to contain the list_heads for source and target css_sets and the iteration cursor. cgroup_taskset_*() are accordingly updated to walk through css_sets and their ->mg_tasks. This resolves the above listed issues with moderate additional complexity. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

Instead of building a separate array, target tasks will be linked into a dedicated migration list_head on the owning css_set. Tasks on the migration list are treated the same as tasks on the usual tasks list; however, being on a separate list allows cgroup migration code path to keep track of the target tasks by simply keeping the list of css_sets with tasks being migrated, making unpredictable dynamic allocation unnecessary.

2014-02-18cgroup: update cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() to grab siglockTejun Heo
Currently, there's nothing preventing cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() from missing set PF_EXITING and race against cgroup_exit(). Depending on the timing, cgroup_exit() may finish with the task still linked on css_set leading to list corruption. Fix it by grabbing siglock in cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() so that PF_EXITING is guaranteed to be visible. This whole on-demand cg_list optimization is extremely fragile and has ample possibility to lead to bugs which can cause things like once-a-year oops during boot. I'm wondering whether the better approach would be just adding "cgroup_disable=all" handling which disables the whole cgroup rather than tempting fate with this on-demand craziness.

2014-02-13cgroup: separate out put_css_set_locked() and remove put_css_set_taskexit()Tejun Heo
put_css_set() is performed in two steps - it first tries to put without grabbing css_set_rwsem if such put wouldn't make the count zero. If that fails, it puts after write-locking css_set_rwsem. This patch separates out the second phase into put_css_set_locked() which should be called with css_set_rwsem locked. Also, put_css_set_taskexit() is droped and put_css_set() is made to take @taskexit. There are only a handful users of these functions. No point in providing different variants. put_css_locked() will be used by later changes. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

2014-02-13cgroup: make css_set_lock a rwsem and rename it to css_set_rwsemTejun Heo
Currently there are two ways to walk tasks of a cgroup - css_task_iter_start/next/end() and css_scan_tasks(). The latter builds on the former but allows blocking while iterating. Unfortunately, the way css_scan_tasks() is implemented is rather nasty, it uses a priority heap of pointers to extract some number of tasks in task creation order and loops over them invoking the callback and repeats that until it reaches the end. It requires either preallocated heap or may fail under memory pressure, while unlikely to be problematic, the complexity is O(N^2), and in general just nasty. We're gonna convert all css_scan_users() to css_task_iter_start/next/end() and remove css_scan_users(). As css_scan_tasks() users may block, let's convert css_set_lock to a rwsem so that tasks can block during css_task_iter_*() is in progress. While this does increase the chance of possible deadlock scenarios, given the current usage, the probability is relatively low, and even if that happens, the right thing to do is updating the iteration in the similar way to css iterators so that it can handle blocking. Most conversions are trivial; however, task_cgroup_path() now expects to be called with css_set_rwsem locked instead of locking itself. This is because the function is called with RCU read lock held and rwsem locking should nest outside RCU read lock. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

cgroup_task_count() read-locks css_set_lock and walks all tasks to count them and then returns the result. The only thing all the users want is determining whether the cgroup is empty or not. This patch implements cgroup_has_tasks() which tests whether cgroup->cset_links is empty, replaces all cgroup_task_count() usages and unexports it. Note that the test isn't synchronized. This is the same as before. The test has always been racy. This will help planned css_set locking update.

2014-02-13cgroup: enable task_cg_lists on the first cgroup mountTejun Heo
Tasks are not linked on their css_sets until cgroup task iteration is actually used. This is to avoid incurring overhead on the fork and exit paths for systems which have cgroup compiled in but don't use it. This lazy binding also affects the task migration path. It has to be careful so that it doesn't link tasks to css_sets when task_cg_lists linking is not enabled yet. Unfortunately, this conditional linking in the migration path interferes with planned migration updates. This patch moves the lazy binding a bit earlier, to the first cgroup mount. It's a clear indication that cgroup is being used on the system and task_cg_lists linking is highly likely to be enabled soon anyway through "tasks" and "cgroup.procs" files. This allows cgroup_task_migrate() to always link @tsk->cg_list. Note that it may still race with cgroup_post_fork() but who wins that race is inconsequential. While at it, make use_task_css_set_links a bool, add sanity checks in cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() and css_task_iter_start(), and update the former so that it's guaranteed and assumes to run only once.

2014-02-13cgroup: drop CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUNDTejun Heo
Before kernfs conversion, due to the way super_block lookup works, cgroup roots were created and made visible before being fully initialized. This in turn required a special flag to mark that the root hasn't been fully initialized so that the destruction path can tell fully bound ones from half initialized. That flag is CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND and no longer necessary after the kernfs conversion as the lookup and creation of new root are atomic w.r.t. cgroup_mutex. This patch removes the flag and passes the requests subsystem mask to cgroup_setup_root() so that it can set the respective mask bits as subsystems are bound.

2014-02-12Revert "cgroup: use an ordered workqueue for cgroup destruction"Tejun Heo
This reverts commit ab3f5faa6255a0eb4f832675507d9e295ca7e9ba. Explanation from Hugh: It's because more thorough testing, by others here, found that it wasn't always solving the problem: so I asked Tejun privately to hold off from sending it in, until we'd worked out why not. Most of our testing being on a v3,11-based kernel, it was perfectly possible that the problem was merely our own e.g. missing Tejun's 8a2b75384444 ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups"). But that turned out not to be enough to fix it either. Then Filipe pointed out how percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() uses call_rcu_sched() before we ever get to put the offline on to the workqueue: by the time we get to the workqueue, the ordering has already been lost. So, thanks for the Acks, but I'm afraid that this ordered workqueue solution is just not good enough: we should simply forget that patch and provide a different answer."

2014-02-12cgroup: remove cgroupfs_root->refcntTejun Heo
Currently, cgroupfs_root and its ->top_cgroup are separated reference counted and the latter's is ignored. There's no reason to do this separately. This patch removes cgroupfs_root->refcnt and destroys cgroupfs_root when the top_cgroup is released. * cgroup_put() updated to ignore cgroup_is_dead() test for top cgroups. cgroup_free_fn() updated to handle root destruction when releasing a top cgroup. * As root destruction is now bounced through cgroup destruction, it is asynchronous. Update cgroup_mount() so that it waits for pending release which is currently implemented using msleep(). Converting this to proper wait_queue isn't hard but likely unnecessary.

2014-02-12cgroup: rename cgroupfs_root->number_of_cgroups to ->nr_cgrps and make it ↵Tejun Heo
atomic_t root->number_of_cgroups is currently an integer protected with cgroup_mutex. Except for sanity checks and proc reporting, the only place it's used is to check whether the root has any child during remount; however, this is a bit flawed as the counter is not decremented when the cgroup is unlinked but when it's released, meaning that there could be an extended period where all cgroups are removed but remount is still not allowed because some internal objects are lingering. While not perfect either, it'd be better to use emptiness test on root->top_cgroup.children. This patch updates cgroup_remount() to test top_cgroup's children instead, which makes number_of_cgroups only actual usage statistics printing in proc implemented in proc_cgroupstats_show(). Let's shorten its name and make it an atomic_t so that we don't have to worry about its synchronization. It's purely auxiliary at this point.

2014-02-12cgroup: remove cgroup->nameTejun Heo
cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection. Now that cgroup is on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and friends. Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs name/path constructs. * Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes. pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added. * cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename(). * All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics. Users which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things quite a bit. As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are removed. v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal. v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs functions with NULL kn leading to oops. Test for NULL kn and print "/" if so. This issue was reported by Fengguang Wu. v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f887 ("cgroup: protect modifications to cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

2014-02-12cgroup: make cgroup hold onto its kernfs_nodeTejun Heo
cgroup currently releases its kernfs_node when it gets removed.

2014-02-12cgroup: simplify dynamic cftype addition and removalTejun Heo
Dynamic cftype addition and removal using cgroup_add/rm_cftypes() respectively has been quite hairy due to vfs i_mutex. As i_mutex nests outside cgroup_mutex, cgroup_mutex has to be released and regrabbed on each iteration through the hierarchy complicating the process. Now that i_mutex is no longer in play, it can be simplified. * Just holding cgroup_tree_mutex is enough. No need to meddle with cgroup_mutex. * No reason to play the unlock - relock - check serial_nr dancing. Everything can be atomically while holding cgroup_tree_mutex. * cgroup_cfts_prepare() is replaced with direct locking of cgroup_tree_mutex. * cgroup_cfts_commit() no longer fiddles with locking. It just applies the cftypes change to the existing cgroups in the hierarchy. Renamed to cgroup_cfts_apply(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
