      cgroup: introduce cgroup_subsys->legacy_name · 3e1d2eed
      Tejun Heo authored
      This allows cgroup subsystems to use a different name on the unified
      hierarchy.  cgroup_subsys->name is used on the unified hierarchy,
      ->legacy_name elsewhere.  If ->legacy_name is not explicitly set, it's
      automatically set to ->name and the userland visible behavior remains
      unchanged.
      
      v2: Make parse_cgroupfs_options() only consider ->legacy_name as mount
          options are used only on legacy hierarchies.  Suggested by Li
          Zefan.

      cgroup: don't print subsystems for the default hierarchy · d98817d4
      Tejun Heo authored
      It doesn't make sense to print subsystems on mount option or
      /proc/PID/cgroup for the default hierarchy.
      
      * cgroup.controllers file at the root of the default hierarchy lists
        the currently attached controllers.
      
      * The default hierarchy is catch-all for unmounted subsystems.
      
      * The default hierarchy doesn't accept any mount options.
      
      Suppress subsystem printing on mount options and /proc/PID/cgroup for
      the default hierarchy.

      cgroup: define controller file conventions · 6abc8ca1
      Tejun Heo authored
      Traditionally, each cgroup controller implemented whatever interface
      it wanted leading to interfaces which are widely inconsistent.
      Examining the requirements of the controllers readily yield that there
      are only a few control schemes shared among all.
      
      Two major controllers already had to implement new interface for the
      unified hierarchy due to significant structural changes.  Let's take
      the chance to establish common conventions throughout all controllers.
      
      This patch defines CGROUP_WEIGHT_MIN/DFL/MAX to be used on all weight
      based control knobs and documents the conventions that controllers
      should follow on the unified hierarchy.  Except for io.weight knob,
      all existing unified hierarchy knobs are already compliant.  A
      follow-up patch will update io.weight.
      
      v2: Added descriptions of min, low and high knobs.

      cgroup: fix idr_preload usage · cf780b7d
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      It does not make much sense to call idr_preload with the same gfp mask
      as the following idr_alloc, but this is what we do in cgroup_idr_alloc.
      This patch fixes the idr_preload usage by making cgroup_idr_alloc call
      idr_alloc w/o __GFP_WAIT. Since it is now safe to call cgroup_idr_alloc
      with GFP_KERNEL, the patch also fixes all its callers appropriately.

      cgroup: add documentation for the PIDs controller · 917d8e2d
      Aleksa Sarai authored
      Add documentation derived from kernel/cgroup_pids.c to the relevant
      Documentation/ directory, along with a few examples of how to use the
      PIDs controller as well an explanation of its peculiarities.

      cgroup: implement the PIDs subsystem · 49b786ea
      Aleksa Sarai authored
      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.

      cgroup: allow a cgroup subsystem to reject a fork · 7e47682e
      Aleksa Sarai authored
      Add a new cgroup subsystem callback can_fork that conditionally
      states whether or not the fork is accepted or rejected by a cgroup
      policy. In addition, add a cancel_fork callback so that if an error
      occurs later in the forking process, any state modified by can_fork can
      be reverted.
      
      Allow for a private opaque pointer to be passed from cgroup_can_fork to
      cgroup_post_fork, allowing for the fork state to be stored by each
      subsystem separately.
      
      Also add a tagging system for cgroup_subsys.h to allow for CGROUP_<TAG>
      enumerations to be be defined and used. In addition, explicitly add a
      CGROUP_CANFORK_COUNT macro to make arrays easier to define.
      
      This is in preparation for implementing the pids cgroup subsystem.

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
      thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
      out the list pointers and removed it.
      
      But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
      pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
      broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
      a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
      
      So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
      (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
      initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
      implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
      
      This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
      An.
      
      [ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
        to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly   - Linus ]
