From d82caa273565b45fcf103148950549af76c314b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Domenico Cerasuolo Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 12:54:18 +0200 Subject: sched/psi: Allow unprivileged polling of N*2s period PSI offers 2 mechanisms to get information about a specific resource pressure. One is reading from /proc/pressure/, which gives average pressures aggregated every 2s. The other is creating a pollable fd for a specific resource and cgroup. The trigger creation requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, and gives the possibility to pick specific time window and threshold, spawing an RT thread to aggregate the data. Systemd would like to provide containers the option to monitor pressure on their own cgroup and sub-cgroups. For example, if systemd launches a container that itself then launches services, the container should have the ability to poll() for pressure in individual services. But neither the container nor the services are privileged. This patch implements a mechanism to allow unprivileged users to create pressure triggers. The difference with privileged triggers creation is that unprivileged ones must have a time window that's a multiple of 2s. This is so that we can avoid unrestricted spawning of rt threads, and use instead the same aggregation mechanism done for the averages, which runs independently of any triggers.
