Pull rmdir updates into for-3.8 so that further callback updates can be put on top. This pull created a trivial conflict between the following two commits. 8c7f6edb ("cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them") ed957793 ("cgroup: kill cgroup_subsys->__DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs") The former added a field to cgroup_subsys and the latter removed one from it. They happen to be colocated causing the conflict. Keeping what's added and removing what's removed resolves the conflict. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

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").

Because ->pre_destroy() could fail and can't be called under cgroup_mutex, cgroup destruction did something very ugly. 1. 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. Error out path is removed and ->pre_destroy() invocation is open coded in cgroup_rmdir(). v2: cgroup_call_pre_destroy() removal moved to this patch per Michal. Commit message updated per Glauber.

This patch makes cgroup_create() fail if @parent is marked removed. This is to prepare for further updates to cgroup_rmdir() path. Note that this change isn't strictly necessary. cgroup can only be created via mkdir and the removed marking and dentry removal happen without releasing cgroup_mutex, so cgroup_create() can never race with cgroup_rmdir(). Even after the scheduled updates to cgroup_rmdir(), cgroup_mkdir() and cgroup_rmdir() are synchronized by i_mutex rendering the added liveliness check unnecessary. Do it anyway such that locking is contained inside cgroup proper and we don't get nasty surprises if we ever grow another caller of cgroup_create().

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

2ef37d3f ("memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error handling") removed the last user of __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs. This patch removes __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs and mechanisms to support it. * Conditionals dependent on __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs removed. * cgroup_clear_css_refs() can no longer fail. All that needs to be done are deactivating refcnts, setting CSS_REMOVED and putting the base reference on each css. Remove cgroup_clear_css_refs() and the failure path, and open-code the loops into cgroup_rmdir(). This patch keeps the two for_each_subsys() loops separate while open coding them. They can be merged now but there are scheduled changes which need them to be separate, so keep them separate to reduce the 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 CSS_REMOVED set. This will go away soon. v2: cgroup_call_pre_destroy() removal dropped per Michal. Commit message updated to explain local_irq_disable/enable() conversion.

mem_cgroup_force_empty_list currently tries to remove all pages from the given LRU. To prevent from temoporary failures (EBUSY returned by mem_cgroup_move_parent) it uses a margin to the current LRU pages and returns the true if there are still some pages left on the list. If we consider that mem_cgroup_move_parent fails only when it is racing with somebody else removing (uncharging) the page or when the page is migrated then it is obvious that all those failures are only temporal and so we can safely retry later. Let's get rid of the safety margin and make the loop really wait for the empty LRU. The caller should still make sure that all charges have been removed from the res_counter because mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache might add a page to the LRU after the list_empty check (it doesn't touch res_counter though). This catches most of the cases except for shmem which might call mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache with a page which is not charged and on the LRU yet but this was the case also without this patch. In order to fix this we need a guarantee that try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page falls back to the current mm's cgroup so it needs css_tryget to fail. This will be fixed up in a later patch because it needs a help from cgroup core (pre_destroy has to be called after css is cleared). Although mem_cgroup_pre_destroy can still fail (if a new task or a new sub-group appears) there is no reason to retry pre_destroy callback from the cgroup core. This means that __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs has lost its meaning and it can be removed.

mem_cgroup_force_empty did two separate things depending on free_all parameter from the very beginning. It either reclaimed as many pages as possible and moved the rest to the parent or just moved charges to the parent. The first variant is used as memory.force_empty callback while the later is used from the mem_cgroup_pre_destroy. The whole games around gotos are far from being nice and there is no reason to keep those two functions inside one. Let's split them and also move the responsibility for css reference counting to their callers to make to code easier. This patch doesn't have any functional changes.

try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -> RUNNING transition can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task->state back to RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between. We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule(). This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip() carefully avoid the race. And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough". v2: As Tejun pointed out, we can also change get_signal_to_deliver() and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.

freezer_read/write() used cgroup_lock_live_group() to synchronize against task migration into and out of the target cgroup. cgroup_lock_live_group() grabs the internal cgroup lock and using it from outside cgroup core leads to complex and fragile locking dependency issues which are difficult to resolve. Now that freezer_can_attach() is replaced with freezer_attach() and update_if_frozen() updated, nothing requires excluding migration against freezer state reads and changes. This patch removes cgroup_lock_live_group() and the matching cgroup_unlock() usages. The prone-to-bitrot, already outdated and unnecessary global lock hierarchy documentation is replaced with documentation in local scope.

Locking will change such that migration can happen while freezer_read/write() is in progress. This means that update_if_frozen() can no longer assume that all tasks in the cgroup coform to the current freezer state - newly migrated tasks which haven't finished freezer_attach() yet might be in any state. This patch updates update_if_frozen() such that it no longer verifies task states against freezer state. It now simply decides whether FREEZING stage is complete. This removal of verification makes it meaningless to call from freezer_change_state(). Drop it and move the fast exit test from freezer_read() - the only left caller - to update_if_frozen().

cgroup_freezer is one of the few users of cgroup_subsys->can_attach() and uses it to prevent tasks from being migrated into or out of a frozen cgroup. 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.

cgroup_freezer doesn't transition from FREEZING to FROZEN if the cgroup contains PF_NOFREEZE tasks or tasks sleeping with PF_FREEZER_SKIP set. Only kernel tasks can be non-freezable (PF_NOFREEZE) and there's nothing cgroup_freezer or userland can do about or to it. It's pointless to stall the transition for PF_NOFREEZE tasks. PF_FREEZER_SKIP indicates that the task can be skipped when determining whether frozen state is reached. A task with PF_FREEZER_SKIP is guaranteed to perform try_to_freeze() after it wakes up and can be considered frozen much like stopped or traced tasks. Note that a vfork parent uses PF_FREEZER_SKIP while waiting for the child. This updates update_if_frozen() such that it only considers freezable tasks and treats %true freezer_should_skip() tasks as frozen. This allows cgroups w/ kthreads and vfork parents successfully reach FROZEN state. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

try_to_freeze_cgroup() has condition checks which are intended to fail the write operation to freezer.state if there are tasks which can't be frozen. The condition checks have been broken for quite some time now. freeze_task() returns %false if the target task can't be frozen, so num_cant_freeze_now is never incremented. In addition, strangely, cgroup freezing proceeds even after the write is failed, which is rather broken. This patch rips out the non-working code intended to fail the write to freezer.state when the cgroup contains non-freezable tasks and makes it official that writes to freezer.state succeed whether there are non-freezable tasks in the cgroup or not. This leaves is_task_frozen_enough() with only one user - upste_if_frozen(). Collapse it into the caller. Note that this removes an extra call to freezing(). This doesn't cause any userland behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

A task is considered frozen enough between freezer_do_not_count() and freezer_count() and freezers use freezer_should_skip() to test this condition. This supposedly works because freezer_count() always calls try_to_freezer() after clearing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP. However, there currently is nothing which guarantees that freezer_count() sees %true freezing() after clearing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP when freezing is in progress, and vice-versa. A task can escape the freezing condition in effect by freezer_count() seeing !freezing() and freezer_should_skip() seeing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP. This patch adds smp_mb()'s to freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip() such that either %true freezing() is visible to freezer_count() or !PF_FREEZER_SKIP is visible to freezer_should_skip().

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?).

The hostprogs need access to the CONFIG_* symbols found in include/generated/autoconf.h. But commit abbf1590 ("UAPI: Partition the header include path sets and add uapi/ header directories") replaced $(LINUXINCLUDE) with $(USERINCLUDE) which doesn't contain the necessary include paths. This has the undesirable effect of breaking the EFI boot stub because the #ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB code in arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c is never compiled. It should also be noted that because $(USERINCLUDE) isn't exported by the top-level Makefile it's actually empty in arch/x86/boot/Makefile. Cc: H.

Pull UAPI disintegration for include/linux/{,byteorder/}*.h from David Howells: "The patches contained herein do the following: (1) Remove kernel-only stuff in linux/ppp-comp.h from the UAPI. I checked this with Paul Mackerras before I created the patch and he suggested some extra bits to unexport. (2) Remove linux/blk_types.h entirely from the UAPI as none of it is userspace applicable, and remove from the UAPI that part of linux/fs.h that was the reason for linux/blk_types.h being exported in the first place. I discussed this with Jens Axboe before creating the patch. (3) The big patch of the series to disintegrate include/linux/*.h as a unit. This could be split up, though there would be collisions in moving stuff between the two Kbuild files when the parts are merged as that file is sorted alphabetically rather than being grouped by subsystem. Of this set of headers, 17 files have changed in the UAPI exported region since the 4th and only 8 since the 9th so there isn't much change in this area - as one might expect. It should be pretty obvious and straightforward if it does come to fixing up: stuff in __KERNEL__ guards stays where it is and stuff outside moves to the same file in the include/uapi/linux/ directory. If a new file appears then things get a bit more complicated as the "headers +=" line has to move to include/uapi/linux/Kbuild.

As suggested by Andrew Morton: This is a pet peeve of mine. Any time there's a long list of items (header file inclusions, kconfig entries, array initalisers, etc) and someone wants to add a new item, they *always* go and stick it at the end of the list. Guys, don't do this. Either put the new item into a randomly-chosen position or, probably better, alphanumerically sort the list. lets sort all our select statements alphanumerically. This commit was created by the following perl: while (<>) { while (/\\\s*$/) { $_ .= <>; } undef %selects if /^\s*config\s+/; if (/^\s+select\s+(\w+).*/) { if (defined($selects{$1})) { if ($selects{$1} eq $_) { print STDERR "Warning: removing duplicated $1 entry\n"; } else { print STDERR "Error: $1 differently selected\n". "\tOld: $selects{$1}\n". "\tNew: $_\n"; exit 1; } } $selects{$1} = $_; next; } if (%selects and (/^\s*$/ or /^\s+help/ or /^\s+---help---/ or /^endif/ or /^endchoice/)) { foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) { print "$selects{$k}"; } undef %selects; } print; } if (%selects) { foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) { print "$selects{$k}"; } } It found two duplicates: Warning: removing duplicated S5P_SETUP_MIPIPHY entry Warning: removing duplicated HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND entry and they are identical duplicates, hence the shrinkage in the diffstat of two lines. We have four testers reporting success of this change (Tony, Stephen, Linus and Sekhar.)

It seems that was linux/blk_types.h incorrectly exported to fix up some missing bits required by the exported parts of linux/fs.h (READ, WRITE, READA, etc.). So unexport linux/blk_types.h and unexport the relevant bits of linux/fs.h.
