2015-12-03cgroup_pids: don't account for the root cgroupTejun Heo
Because accounting resources for the root cgroup sometimes incurs measureable overhead for workloads which don't care about cgroup and often ends up calculating a number which is available elsewhere in a slightly different form, cgroup is not in the business of providing system-wide statistics. The pids controller which was introduced recently was exposing "pids.current" at the root. This patch disable accounting for root cgroup and removes the file from the root directory. While this is a userland visible behavior change, pids has been available only in one version and was badly broken there, so I don't think this will be noticeable. If it turns out to be a problem, we can reinstate it for v1 hierarchies. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>
2015-12-03cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control ↵Tejun Heo
enabling Consider the following v2 hierarchy. P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A \- B P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers can cause atomic migrations into different csses. The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a counter negative.

All controllers are updated accordingly. * Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf, netclassid and netprio fall in this category. * cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css is obtained. * memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change. * pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

2015-11-30cgroup: pids: kill pids_fork(), simplify pids_can_fork() and pids_cancel_fork()Oleg Nesterov
Now that we know that the forking task can't migrate amd the child is always moved to the same cgroup by cgroup_post_fork()->css_set_move_task() we can change pids_can_fork() and pids_cancel_fork() to just use task_css(current). And since we no longer need to pin this css, we can remove pid_fork(). Note: the patch uses task_css_check(true), perhaps it makes sense to add a helper or change task_css_set_check() to take cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem into account.

2015-11-30cgroup: pids: fix race between cgroup_post_fork() and cgroup_migrate()Oleg Nesterov
If the new child migrates to another cgroup before cgroup_post_fork() calls subsys->fork(), then both pids_can_attach() and pids_fork() will do the same pids_uncharge(old_pids) + pids_charge(pids) sequence twice. Change copy_process() to call threadgroup_change_begin/threadgroup_change_end unconditionally. percpu_down_read() is cheap and this allows other cleanups, see the next changes. Also, this way we can unify cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and dup_mmap_sem. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2015-10-15cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->free() method and use it to fix pids controllerTejun Heo
pids controller is completely broken in that it uncharges when a task exits allowing zombies to escape resource control. With the recent updates, cgroup core now maintains cgroup association till task free and pids controller can be fixed by uncharging on free instead of exit. This patch adds cgroup_subsys->free() method and update pids controller to use it instead of ->exit() for uncharging. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com>
2015-10-15cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroupsTejun Heo
cgroup_exit() is called when a task exits and disassociates the exiting task from its cgroups and half-attach it to the root cgroup. This is unnecessary and undesirable. No controller actually needs an exiting task to be disassociated with non-root cgroups. Both cpu and perf_event controllers update the association to the root cgroup from their exit callbacks just to keep consistent with the cgroup core behavior. Also, this disassociation makes it difficult to track resources held by zombies or determine where the zombies came from. Currently, pids controller is completely broken as it uncharges on exit and zombies always escape the resource restriction. With cgroup association being reset on exit, fixing it is pretty painful. There's no reason to reset cgroup membership on exit. The zombie can be removed from its css_set so that it doesn't show up on "cgroup.procs" and thus can't be migrated or interfere with cgroup removal. It can still pin and point to the css_set so that its cgroup membership is maintained. This patch makes cgroup core keep zombies associated with their cgroups at the time of exit. * Previous patches decoupled populated_cnt tracking from css_set lifetime, so a dying task can be simply unlinked from its css_set while pinning and pointing to the css_set. This keeps css_set association from task side alive while hiding it from "cgroup.procs" and populated_cnt tracking. The css_set reference is dropped when the task_struct is freed. * ->exit() callback no longer needs the css arguments as the associated css never changes once PF_EXITING is set. Removed. * cpu and perf_events controllers no longer need ->exit() callbacks. There's no reason to explicitly switch away on exit. The final schedule out is enough. The callbacks are removed. * On traditional hierarchies, nothing changes. "/proc/PID/cgroup" still reports "/" for all zombies. On the default hierarchy, "/proc/PID/cgroup" keeps reporting the cgroup that the task belonged to at the time of exit. If the cgroup gets removed before the task is reaped, " (deleted)" is appended. v2: Build brekage due to missing dummy cgroup_free() when !CONFIG_CGROUP fixed.

2015-07-14cgroup: implement the PIDs subsystemAleksa Sarai
Adds a new single-purpose PIDs subsystem to limit the number of tasks that can be forked inside a cgroup. Essentially this is an implementation of RLIMIT_NPROC that applies to a cgroup rather than a process tree. However, it should be noted that organisational operations (adding and removing tasks from a PIDs hierarchy) will *not* be prevented. Rather, the number of tasks in the hierarchy cannot exceed the limit through forking. This is due to the fact that, in the unified hierarchy, attach cannot fail (and it is not possible for a task to overcome its PIDs cgroup policy limit by attaching to a child cgroup -- even if migrating mid-fork it must be able to fork in the parent first). PIDs are fundamentally a global resource, and it is possible to reach PID exhaustion inside a cgroup without hitting any reasonable kmemcg policy. Once you've hit PID exhaustion, you're only in a marginally better state than OOM. This subsystem allows PID exhaustion inside a cgroup to be prevented.
