      cgroup: drop cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl · e4b7037c
      Tejun Heo authored
      Now that interfaces for the major three controllers - cpu, memory, io
      - are shaping up, there's no reason to have an option to force legacy
      files to show up on the unified hierarchy for testing.  Drop it.

      cgroup: replace error handling in cgroup_init() with WARN_ON()s · 035f4f51
      Tejun Heo authored
      The init sequence shouldn't fail short of bugs and even when it does
      it's better to continue with the rest of initialization and we were
      silently ignoring /proc/cgroups creation failure.
      
      Drop the explicit error handling and wrap sysfs_create_mount_point(),
      register_filesystem() and proc_create() with WARN_ON()s.

      cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->free() method and use it to fix pids controller · afcf6c8b
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups · 2e91fa7f
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup: make css_set_rwsem a spinlock and rename it to css_set_lock · f0d9a5f1
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup: don't hold css_set_rwsem across css task iteration · ed27b9f7
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup: factor out css_set_move_task() · f6d7d049
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup: make cgroup_destroy_locked() test cgroup_is_populated() · 91486f61
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      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.

      cgroup: replace cgroup_has_tasks() with cgroup_is_populated() · 27bd4dbb
      Tejun Heo authored
      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().

      cgroup: make cgroup_update_dfl_csses() migrate all target processes atomically · 10265075
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup, memcg, cpuset: implement cgroup_taskset_for_each_leader() · 4530eddb
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      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: generalize obtaining the handles of and notifying cgroup files · 6f60eade
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup: restructure file creation / removal handling · 4df8dc90
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.
      
      This patch doens't cause any behavior changes.

      cgroup: make cgroup_addrm_files() clean up after itself on failures · 6732ed85
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      cgroup: replace cftype->mode with CFTYPE_WORLD_WRITABLE · 7dbdb199
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.
      This patch removes cftype->mode and all its spurious uses and
      implements CFTYPE_WORLD_WRITABLE for "cgroup.event_control" which is
      marked as compatibility-only.

      memcg already uses "memory.events" for event reporting and other

      happen too frequently and thus can share event notification.

      cgroup: replace cgroup_on_dfl() tests in controllers with cgroup_subsys_on_dfl() · 9e10a130
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_on_dfl() tests whether the cgroup's root is the default
      hierarchy; however, an individual controller is only interested in
      whether the controller is attached to the default hierarchy and never
      tests a cgroup which doesn't belong to the hierarchy that the
      controller is attached to.
      
      This patch replaces cgroup_on_dfl() tests in controllers with faster
      static_key based cgroup_subsys_on_dfl().  This leaves cgroup core as
      the only user of cgroup_on_dfl() and the function is moved from the
      header file to cgroup.c.

      sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem · 1ed13287
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.
