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>

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.

css_set_rwsem is the inner lock protecting css_sets and is accessed from hot paths such as fork and exit. Internally, it has no reason to be a rwsem or even mutex. There are no internal blocking operations while holding it. This was rwsem because css task iteration used to expose it to external iterator users. As the previous patch updated css task iteration such that the locking is not leaked to its users, there's no reason to keep it a rwsem. This patch converts css_set_rwsem to a spinlock and rename it to css_set_lock. It uses bh-safe operations as a planned usage needs to access it from RCU callback context.

css_sets are synchronized through css_set_rwsem but the locking scheme is kinda bizarre. The hot paths - fork and exit - have to write lock the rwsem making the rw part pointless; furthermore, many readers already hold cgroup_mutex. One of the readers is css task iteration. It read locks the rwsem over the entire duration of iteration. This leads to silly locking behavior. When cpuset tries to migrate processes of a cgroup to a different NUMA node, css_set_rwsem is held across the entire migration attempt which can take a long time locking out forking, exiting and other cgroup operations. This patch updates css task iteration so that it locks css_set_rwsem only while the iterator is being advanced. css task iteration involves two levels - css_set and task iteration. As css_sets in use are practically immutable, simply pinning the current one is enough for resuming iteration afterwards. Task iteration is tricky as tasks may leave their css_set while iteration is in progress. This is solved by keeping track of active iterators and advancing them if their next task leaves its css_set. v2: put_task_struct() in css_task_iter_next() moved outside css_set_rwsem. A later patch will add cgroup operations to task_struct free path which may grab the same lock and this avoids deadlock possibilities. css_set_move_task() updated to use list_for_each_entry_safe() when walking task_iters and advancing them. This is necessary as advancing an iter may remove it from the list. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* Rename css_advance_task_iter() to css_task_iter_advance_css_set() and make it clear it->task_pos too at the end of the iteration. * Factor out css_task_iter_advance() from css_task_iter_next(). The new function whines if called on a terminated iterator. Except for the termination check, this is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any behavior changes. This will help the planned locking update for css_task_iter. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

A task is associated and disassociated with its css_set in three places - during migration, after a new task is created and when a task exits. The first is handled by cgroup_task_migrate() and the latter two are open-coded. These are similar operations and spreading them over multiple places makes it harder to follow and update. This patch collects all task css_set [dis]association operations into css_set_move_task(). While css_set_move_task() may check whether populated state needs to be updated when not strictly necessary, the behavior is essentially equivalent before and after this patch.

css task iteration will be updated to not leak cgroup internal locking to iterator users. In preparation, update css_set and task lists to be in chronological order. For tasks, as migration path is already using list_splice_tail_init(), only cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() and cgroup_post_fork() need updating. For css_sets, link_css_set() is the only place which needs to be updated. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

cgroup_destroy_locked() currently tests whether any css_sets are associated to reject removal if the cgroup contains tasks. This works because a css_set's refcnt converges with the number of tasks linked to it and thus there's no css_set linked to a cgroup if it doesn't have any live tasks. To help tracking resource usage of zombie tasks, putting the ref of css_set will be separated from disassociating the task from the css_set which means that a cgroup may have css_sets linked to it even when it doesn't have any live tasks. This patch updates cgroup_destroy_locked() so that it tests cgroup_is_populated(), which counts the number of populated css_sets, instead of whether cgrp->cset_links is empty to determine whether the cgroup is populated or not. This ensures that rmdirs won't be incorrectly rejected for cgroups which only contain zombie tasks. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Currently, css_sets don't pin the associated cgroups. This is okay as a cgroup with css_sets associated are not allowed to be removed; however, to help resource tracking for zombie tasks, this is scheduled to change such that a cgroup can be removed even when it has css_sets associated as long as none of them are populated. To ensure that a cgroup doesn't go away while css_sets are still associated with it, make each associated css_set hold a reference on the cgroup if non-root. v2: Root cgroups are special and shouldn't be ref'd by css_sets.

To trigger release agent when the last task leaves the cgroup, check_for_release() is called from put_css_set_locked(); however, css_set being unlinked is being decoupled from task leaving the cgroup and the correct condition to test is cgroup->nr_populated dropping to zero which check_for_release() is already updated to test. This patch moves check_for_release() invocation from put_css_set_locked() to cgroup_update_populated(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Currently, cgroup_has_tasks() tests whether the target cgroup has any css_set linked to it. This works because a css_set's refcnt converges with the number of tasks linked to it and thus there's no css_set linked to a cgroup if it doesn't have any live tasks. To help tracking resource usage of zombie tasks, putting the ref of css_set will be separated from disassociating the task from the css_set which means that a cgroup may have css_sets linked to it even when it doesn't have any live tasks. This patch replaces cgroup_has_tasks() with cgroup_is_populated() which tests cgroup->nr_populated instead which locally counts the number of populated css_sets. Unlike cgroup_has_tasks(), cgroup_is_populated() is recursive - if any of the descendants is populated, the cgroup is populated too. While this changes the meaning of the test, all the existing users are okay with the change. While at it, replace the open-coded ->populated_cnt test in cgroup_events_show() with cgroup_is_populated().

inode_cgwb_enabled() gates cgroup writeback support. If it returns true, each inode is attached to the corresponding memory domain which gets mapped to io domain. It currently only tests whether the filesystem and bdi support cgroup writeback; however, cgroup writeback support doesn't work on traditional hierarchies and thus it should also test whether memcg and iocg are on the default hierarchy. This caused traditional hierarchy setups to hit the cgroup writeback path inadvertently and ended up creating separate writeback domains for each memcg and mapping them all to the root iocg uncovering a couple issues in the cgroup writeback path. cgroup writeback was never meant to be enabled on traditional hierarchies. Make inode_cgwb_enabled() test whether both memcg and iocg are on the default hierarchy.

cgroup_update_dfl_csses() is responsible for migrating processes when controllers are enabled or disabled on the default hierarchy. As the css association changes for all the processes in the affected cgroups, this involves migrating multiple processes. Up until now, it was implemented by migrating process-by-process until the source css_sets are empty; however, this means that if a process fails to migrate after some succeed before it, the recovery is very tricky. This was considered okay as subsystems weren't allowed to reject process migration on the default hierarchy; unfortunately, enforcing this policy turned out to be problematic for certain types of resources - realtime slices for now. As such, the default hierarchy is gonna allow restricted failures during migration and to support that this patch makes cgroup_update_dfl_csses() migrate all target processes atomically rather than one-by-one. The preceding patches made subsystems ready for multi-process migration and factored out taskset operations making this almost trivial. All tasks of the target processes are put in the same taskset and the migration operations are performed once which either fails or succeeds for all.

Currently, cgroup_migreate() implements large part of the migration logic inline including building the target taskset and actually migrating them. This patch separates out the following taskset operations. CGROUP_TASKSET_INIT() : taskset initializer cgroup_taskset_add() : add a task to a taskset cgroup_taskset_migrate() : migrate a taskset to the destination cgroup This will be used to implement atomic multi-process migration in cgroup_update_dfl_csses().

cgroup_migrate() has the destination cgroup as the first parameter while cgroup_task_migrate() has the destination cset as the last. Another migration function is scheduled to be added which can make the discrepancy further stand out. Let's reorder cgroup_migrate()'s parameters so that the destination cgroup is the last.

It wasn't explicitly documented but, when a process is being migrated, cpuset and memcg depend on cgroup_taskset_first() returning the threadgroup leader; however, this approach is somewhat ghetto and would no longer work for the planned multi-process migration. This patch introduces explicit cgroup_taskset_for_each_leader() which iterates over only the threadgroup leaders and replaces cgroup_taskset_first() usages for accessing the leader with it. This prepares both memcg and cpuset for multi-process migration. This patch also updates the documentation for cgroup_taskset_for_each() to clarify the iteration rules and removes comments mentioning task ordering in tasksets. v2: A previous patch which added threadgroup leader test was dropped.

If memory_migrate flag is set, cpuset migrates memory according to the destnation css's nodemask. The current implementation migrates memory whenever any thread of a process is migrated making the behavior somewhat arbitrary. Let's tie memory operations to the threadgroup leader so that memory is migrated only when the leader is migrated. While this is a behavior change, given the inherent fuziness, this change is not too likely to be noticed and allows us to clearly define who owns the memory (always the leader) and helps the planned atomic multi-process migration. Note that we're currently migrating memory in migration path proper while holding all the locks. In the long term, this should be moved out to an async work item.

cgroup core handles creations and removals of cgroup interface files as described by cftypes. There are cases where the handle for a given file instance is necessary, for example, to generate a file modified event. Currently, this is handled by explicitly matching the callback method pointer and storing the file handle manually in cgroup_add_file(). While this simple approach works for cgroup core files, it can't for controller interface files. This patch generalizes cgroup interface file handle handling. struct cgroup_file is defined and each cftype can optionally tell cgroup core to store the file handle by setting ->file_offset. A file handle remains accessible as long as the containing css is accessible. Both "cgroup.procs" and "cgroup.events" are converted to use the new generic mechanism instead of hooking directly into cgroup_add_file(). Also, cgroup_file_notify() which takes a struct cgroup_file and generates a file modified event on it is added and replaces explicit kernfs_notify() invocations. This generalizes cgroup file handle handling and allows controllers to generate file modified notifications.

The file creation / removal path has always been a bit icky and the planned notification update requires css during file creation. Restructure as follows. * cgroup_addrm_files() now takes both @css and @cgrp and is only called directly by other file handling functions. * cgroup_populate/clear_dir() are replaced with css_populate/clear_dir() taking @css and @cgrp_override. @cgrp_override is used only when files needs to be created on / removed from a cgroup which isn't attached to @css which happens during subsystem rebinds. Subsystem loops are moved to the callers. * cgroup_add_file() now takes both @css and @cgrp. @css isn't used yet but will be used by the planned notification update.

After a file creation failure, cgroup_addrm_files() it didn't remove the files which had already been created. When cgroup_populate_dir() is the caller, this is fine as the caller performs cleanup; however, for other callers, this may leave unactivated dangling files behind. As kernfs directory removals are recursive, this doesn't lead to permanent memory leak but it can, for example, fail future attempts to create those files again. There's no point in keeping around this sort of subtlety and it gets in the way of planned updates to file handling. This patch makes cgroup_addrm_files() clean up after itself on failures.

cftype->mode allows controllers to give arbitrary permissions to interface knobs. Except for "cgroup.event_control", the existing uses are spurious. * Some explicitly specify S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR even though that's the default. * "cpuset.memory_pressure" specifies S_IRUGO while also setting a write callback which returns -EACCES. All it needs to do is simply not setting a write callback. "cgroup.event_control" uses cftype->mode to make the file world-writable. It's a misdesigned interface and we don't want controllers to be tweaking interface file permissions in general.

Note: This commit was originally committed as d59cfc09 but got reverted by 0c986253 due to the performance regression from the percpu_rwsem write down/up operations added to cgroup task migration path. percpu_rwsem changes which alleviate the performance issue are pending for v4.4-rc1 merge window. Re-apply. The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem to synchronize against threadgroup changes. This per-process rwsem adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across multiple processes. This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader side and contained in cgroups proper. This patch converts one-to-one. This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however, cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

This reverts commit d59cfc09. d59cfc09 ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5 ("cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned out to be too expensive. Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue. For now, revert the two commits to restore per-process rwsem. They will be re-applied for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.

This reverts commit b5ba75b5. d59cfc09 ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5 ("cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned out to be too expensive. Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue. For now, revert the two commits to restore per-process rwsem. They will be re-applied for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.
