* Un-inline seq_css(). After kernfs conversion, the function will need to dereference internal data structures. * Add cgroup_get/put_root() and replace direct super_block->s_active manipulatinos with them. These will be converted to kernfs_root refcnting. * Add cgroup_get/put() and replace dget/put() on cgrp->dentry with them. These will be converted to kernfs refcnting. * Update current_css_set_cg_links_read() to use cgroup_name() instead of reaching into the dentry name. The end result is the same. These changes don't make functional differences but will make transition to kernfs easier. v2: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

mm/memory-failure.c::hwpoison_filter_task() has been reaching into cgroup to extract the associated ino to be used as a filtering criterion. This is an implementation detail which shouldn't be depended upon from outside cgroup proper and is about to change with the scheduled kernfs conversion. This patch introduces a proper interface to determine the associated ino, cgroup_ino(), and updates hwpoison_filter_task() to use it instead of reaching directly into cgroup.

Factor out cft->ss initialization into cgroup_init_cftypes() from cgroup_add_cftypes() and add cft->ss clearing to cgroup_rm_cftypes() through cgroup_exit_cftypes().

cftype->max_write_len is used to extend the maximum size of writes. It's interpreted in such a way that the actual maximum size is one less than the specified value. The default size is defined by CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE. Its interpretation is quite confusing - its value is decremented by 1 and then compared for equality with max size, which means that the actual default size is CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE - 2, which is 62 chars. There's no point in having a limit that low. Update its definition so that it means the actual string length sans termination and anything below PAGE_SIZE-1 is treated as PAGE_SIZE-1. .max_write_len for "release_agent" is updated to PATH_MAX-1 and cgroup_release_agent_write() is updated so that the redundant strlen() check is removed and it uses strlcpy() instead of strcpy(). .max_write_len initializations in blk-throttle.c and cfq-iosched.c are no longer necessary and removed. The one in cpuset is kept unchanged as it's an approximated value to begin with. This will also make transition to kernfs smoother.

Currently, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes registration is different from dynamic cftypes registartion. Instead of going through cgroup_add_cftypes(), cgroup_init_subsys() invokes cgroup_init_cftsets() which makes use of cgroup_subsys->base_cftset which doesn't involve dynamic allocation. While avoiding dynamic allocation is somewhat nice, having two separate paths for cftypes registration is nasty, especially as we're planning to add more operations during cftypes registration. This patch drops cgroup_init_cftsets() and cgroup_subsys->base_cftset and registers base_cftypes using cgroup_add_cftypes(). This is done as a separate step in cgroup_init() instead of a part of cgroup_init_subsys(). This is because cgroup_init_subsys() can be called very early during boot when kmalloc() isn't available yet. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

cgroup is scheduled to be converted to kernfs. After conversion, cgroup_mount() won't use the sget() machinery for finding out existing super_blocks but instead would do that directly. It'll search the existing cgroupfs_roots for a matching one and create a new one iff a match doesn't exist. To ease such conversion, this patch restructures locking and error handling of the function. cgroup_tree_mutex and cgroup_mutex are grabbed from the get-go and held until return. For now, due to the way vfs locks nest outside cgroup mutexes, the two cgroup mutexes are temporarily dropped across sget() and inode mutex locking, which looks quite ridiculous; however, these will be removed through kernfs conversion and structuring the code this way makes the conversion less painful. The error goto labels are consolidated to two. This looks unwieldy now but the next patch will factor out creation of new root into a separate function with accompanying error handling and it'll look a lot better.

Now that cftypes and all tree modification operations are protected by cgroup_tree_mutex, we can drop cgroup_mutex while deleting files and directories. Drop cgroup_mutex over removals. This doesn't make any noticeable difference now but is to help kernfs conversion. In kernfs, removals are sync points which drain in-flight operations as those operations would grab cgroup_mutex, trying to delete under cgroup_mutex would deadlock. This can be resolved by just holding the outer cgroup_tree_mutex which nests outside both kernfs active reference and cgroup_mutex.

Currently cgroup uses combination of inode->i_mutex'es and cgroup_mutex for synchronization. With the scheduled kernfs conversion, i_mutex'es will be removed. Unfortunately, just using cgroup_mutex isn't possible. All kernfs file and syscall operations, most of which require grabbing cgroup_mutex, will be called with kernfs active ref held and, if we try to perform kernfs removals under cgroup_mutex, it can deadlock as kernfs_remove() tries to drain the target node. Let's introduce a new outer mutex, cgroup_tree_mutex, which protects stuff used during hierarchy changing operations - cftypes and all the operations which may affect the cgroupfs. It also covers css association and iteration. This allows cgroup_css(), for_each_css() and other css iterators to be called under cgroup_tree_mutex. The new mutex will nest above both kernfs's active ref protection and cgroup_mutex. By protecting tree modifications with a separate outer mutex, we can get rid of the forementioned deadlock condition. Actual file additions and removals now require cgroup_tree_mutex instead of cgroup_mutex. Currently, cgroup_tree_mutex is never used without cgroup_mutex; however, we'll soon add hierarchy modification sections which are only protected by cgroup_tree_mutex. In the future, we might want to make the locking more granular by better splitting the coverages of the two mutexes. For now, this should do. v2: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

css_from_dir() returns the matching css (cgroup_subsys_state) given a dentry and subsystem. The function doesn't pin the css before returning and requires the caller to be holding RCU read lock or cgroup_mutex and handling pinning on the caller side. Given that users of the function are likely to want to pin the returned css (both existing users do) and that getting and putting css's are very cheap, there's no reason for the interface to be tricky like this. Rename css_from_dir() to css_tryget_from_dir() and make it try to pin the found css and return it only if pinning succeeded. The callers are updated so that they no longer do RCU locking and pinning around the function and just use the returned css. This will also ease converting cgroup to kernfs.

cgroup_root_mutex was added to avoid deadlock involving namespace_sem via cgroup_show_options(). It added a lot of overhead for the small purpose of it and, because it's nested under cgroup_mutex, it has very limited usefulness.

cgroup_show_options() grabs cgroup_root_mutex to protect the options changing while printing; however, holding root_mutex or not doesn't really make much difference for the function. subsys_mask can be atomically tested and most of the options aren't allowed to change anyway once mounted. The only field which needs synchronization is ->release_agent_path. This patch introduces a dedicated spinlock to synchronize accesses to the field and drops cgroup_root_mutex locking from cgroup_show_options(). The next patch will remove cgroup_root_mutex.

cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be. * The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

With module supported dropped from net_prio, no controller is using cgroup module support. None of actual resource controllers can be built as a module and we aren't gonna add new controllers which don't control resources. This patch drops module support from cgroup. * cgroup_[un]load_subsys() and cgroup_subsys->module removed. * As there's no point in distinguishing IS_BUILTIN() and IS_MODULE(), cgroup_subsys.h now uses IS_ENABLED() directly. * enum cgroup_subsys_id now exactly matches the list of enabled controllers as ordered in cgroup_subsys.h. * cgroup_subsys[] is now a contiguously occupied array. Size specification is no longer necessary and dropped. * for_each_builtin_subsys() is removed and for_each_subsys() is updated to not require any locking. * module ref handling is removed from rebind_subsystems(). * Module related comments dropped. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core"). v3: Added {} around the if (need_forkexit_callback) block in cgroup_post_fork() for readability as suggested by Li.

net_prio is the only cgroup which is allowed to be built as a module. The savings from allowing one controller to be built as a module are tiny especially given that cgroup module support itself adds quite a bit of complexity. Given that none of other controllers has much chance of being made a module and that we're unlikely to add new modular controllers, the added complexity is simply not justifiable. As a first step to drop cgroup module support, this patch changes the config option to bool from tristate and drops module related code from it. Also, while an earlier commit fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core") dropped module support from net_cls cgroup, it retained a call to cgroup_load_subsys(), which is noop for built-in controllers. Drop it along with init_netclassid_cgroup(). v2: Removed modular version of task_netprioidx() in include/net/netprio_cgroup.h as suggested by Li Zefan. v3: Rebased on top of fe1217c4 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core"). net_cls cgroup part is mostly dropped except for removal of init_netclassid_cgroup().

cgroup_cfts_commit() walks the cgroup hierarchy that the target subsystem is attached to and tries to apply the file changes. Due to the convolution with inode locking, it can't keep cgroup_mutex locked while iterating. It currently holds only RCU read lock around the actual iteration and then pins the found cgroup using dget(). Unfortunately, this is incorrect. Although the iteration does check cgroup_is_dead() before invoking dget(), there's nothing which prevents the dentry from going away inbetween. Note that this is different from the usual css iterations where css_tryget() is used to pin the css - css_tryget() tests whether the css can be pinned and fails if not. The problem can be solved by simply holding cgroup_mutex instead of RCU read lock around the iteration, which actually reduces LOC.

Currently, kobject is invoking kernfs_enable_ns() directly. This is fine now as sysfs and kernfs are enabled and disabled together. If sysfs is disabled, kernfs_enable_ns() is switched to dummy implementation too and everything is fine; however, kernfs will soon have its own config option CONFIG_KERNFS and !SYSFS && KERNFS will be possible, which can make kobject call into non-dummy kernfs_enable_ns() with NULL kernfs_node pointers leading to an oops. Introduce sysfs_enable_ns() which is a wrapper around kernfs_enable_ns() so that it can be made a noop depending only on CONFIG_SYSFS regardless of the planned CONFIG_KERNFS.

A write to a kernfs_node is buffered through a kernel buffer. Writes <= PAGE_SIZE are performed atomically, while larger ones are executed in PAGE_SIZE chunks. While this is enough for sysfs, cgroup which is scheduled to be converted to use kernfs needs a bit more control over it. This patch adds kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len. If not set (zero), the behavior stays the same. If set, writes upto the size are executed atomically and larger writes are rejected with -E2BIG. A different implementation strategy would be allowing configuring chunking size while making the original write size available to the write method; however, such strategy, while being more complicated, doesn't really buy anything. If the write implementation has to handle chunking, the specific chunk size shouldn't matter all that much.

Currently, kernfs_nodes are made visible to userland on creation, which makes it difficult for kernfs users to atomically succeed or fail creation of multiple nodes. In addition, if something fails after creating some nodes, the created nodes might already be in use and their active refs need to be drained for removal, which has the potential to introduce tricky reverse locking dependency on active_ref depending on how the error path is synchronized. This patch introduces per-root flag KERNFS_ROOT_CREATE_DEACTIVATED. If set, all nodes under the root are created in the deactivated state and stay invisible to userland until explicitly enabled by the new kernfs_activate() API. Also, nodes which have never been activated are guaranteed to bypass draining on removal thus allowing error paths to not worry about lockding dependency on active_ref draining.

kernfs_iop_lookup(), kernfs_dir_pos() and kernfs_dir_next_pos() were missing kernfs_active() tests before using the found kernfs_node. As deactivated state is currently visible only while a node is being removed, this doesn't pose an actual problem. e.g. lookup succeeding on a deactivated node doesn't harm anything as the eventual file operations are gonna fail and those failures are indistinguishible from the cases in which the lookups had happened before the node was deactivated. However, we're gonna allow new nodes to be created deactivated and then activated explicitly by the kernfs user when it sees fit. This is to support atomically making multiple nodes visible to userland and thus those nodes must not be visible to userland before activated. Let's plug the lookup and readdir holes so that deactivated nodes are invisible to userland. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

kernfs_dir_ops are currently being invoked without any active reference, which makes it tricky for the invoked operations to determine whether the objects associated those nodes are safe to access and will remain that way for the duration of such operations. kernfs already has active_ref mechanism to deal with this which makes the removal of a given node the synchronization point for gating the file operations. There's no reason for dir_ops to be any different. Update the dir_ops handling so that active_ref is held while the dir_ops are executing. This guarantees that while a dir_ops is executing the target nodes stay alive. As kernfs_dir_ops doesn't have any in-kernel user at this point, this doesn't affect anybody.

driver-core now supports synchrnous self-deletion of attributes and the asynchrnous removal mechanism is scheduled for removal. Use it instead of device_schedule_callback(). * Conversions in arch/s390/pci/pci_sysfs.c and drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c are straightforward. * drivers/s390/cio/ccwgroup.c is a bit more tricky because ccwgroup_notifier() was (ab)using device_schedule_callback() to purely obtain a process context to kick off ungroup operation which may block from a notifier callback. Rename ccwgroup_ungroup_callback() to ccwgroup_ungroup() and make it take ccwgroup_device * instead. The new function is now called directly from ccwgroup_ungroup_store(). ccwgroup_notifier() chain is updated to explicitly bounce through ccwgroup_device->ungroup_work. This also removes possible failure from memory pressure. Only compile-tested.

driver-core now supports synchrnous self-deletion of attributes and the asynchrnous removal mechanism is scheduled for removal. Use it instead of device_schedule_callback(). This makes "delete" behave synchronously. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: "James E.J.
