Namhyung Kim authored
Since userspace API of ptrace syscall defines @addr and @data as void pointers, it would be more appropriate to define them as unsigned long in kernel. Therefore related functions are changed also. 'unsigned long' is typically used in other places in kernel as an opaque data type and that using this helps cleaning up a lot of warnings from sparse. Suggested-by:

This patch extracts the core logic from mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() as mem_cgroup_update_file_stat() and adds a wrapper. As a planned future update, memory cgroup has to count dirty pages to implement dirty_ratio/limit. And more, the number of dirty pages is required to kick flusher thread to start writeback. (Now, no kick.) This patch is preparation for it and makes other statistics implementation clearer. Just a clean up. Signed-off-by:

Now, memcgroup's per cpu coutner uses for_each_possible_cpu() to get the value. It's better to use for_each_online_cpu() and a cpu hotplug handler. This patch only handles statistics counter. MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE will be handled in another patch. Signed-off-by:

In memory cgroup management, we sometimes have to walk through subhierarchy of cgroup to gather informaiton, or lock something, etc. Now, to do that, mem_cgroup_walk_tree() function is provided. It calls given callback function per cgroup found. But the bad thing is that it has to pass a fixed style function and argument, "void*" and it adds much type casting to memcontrol.c. To make the code clean, this patch replaces walk_tree() with for_each_mem_cgroup_tree(iter, root) An iterator style call. The good point is that iterator call doesn't have to assume what kind of function is called under it. A bad point is that it may cause reference-count leak if a caller use "break" from the loop by mistake. I think the benefit is larger. The modified code seems straigtforward and easy to read because we don't have misterious callbacks and pointer cast. Signed-off-by:

At accounting file events per memory cgroup, we need to find memory cgroup via page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. Now, we use lock_page_cgroup() for guarantee pc->mem_cgroup is not overwritten while we make use of it. But, considering the context which page-cgroup for files are accessed, we can use alternative light-weight mutual execusion in the most case. At handling file-caches, the only race we have to take care of is "moving" account, IOW, overwriting page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. (See comment in the patch) Unlike charge/uncharge, "move" happens not so frequently. It happens only when rmdir() and task-moving (with a special settings.) This patch adds a race-checker for file-cache-status accounting v.s. account moving. The new per-cpu-per-memcg counter MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE is added. The routine for account move 1. Increment it before start moving 2. Call synchronize_rcu() 3. Decrement it after the end of moving. By this, file-status-counting routine can check it needs to call lock_page_cgroup(). In most case, I doesn't need to call it. Following is a perf data of a process which mmap()/munmap 32MB of file cache in a minute. Before patch: 28.25% mmap mmap [.] main 22.64% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 9.96% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped 3.67% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 3.50% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_vmas 2.99% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 2.76% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page After patch: 30.00% mmap mmap [.] main 23.78% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 5.52% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped 3.81% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_vmas 3.26% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 3.18% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 3.03% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 2.40% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] handle_mm_fault 2.40% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_page_fault This patch reduces memcg's cost to some extent. (mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped is called by both of map/unmap) Note: It seems some more improvements are required..but no idea. maybe removing set/unset flag is required.

Presently memory cgroup accounts file-mapped by counter and flag. counter is working in the same way with zone_stat but FileMapped flag only exists in memcg (for helping move_account). This flag can be updated wrongly in a case. Assume CPU0 and CPU1 and a thread mapping a page on CPU0, another thread unmapping it on CPU1. CPU0 CPU1 rmv rmap (mapcount 1->0) add rmap (mapcount 0->1) lock_page_cgroup() memcg counter+1 (some delay) set MAPPED FLAG. unlock_page_cgroup() lock_page_cgroup() memcg counter-1 clear MAPPED flag In the above sequence counter is properly updated but FLAG is not. This means that representing a state by a flag which is maintained by counter needs some special care. To handle this, when clearing a flag, this patch check mapcount directly and clear the flag only when mapcount == 0. (if mapcount >0, someone will make it to zero later and flag will be cleared.) Reverse case, dec-after-inc cannot be a problem because page_table_lock() works well for it. (IOW, to make above sequence, 2 processes should touch the same page at once with map/unmap.)

If the clone_children is set and the ns_cgroup is mounted, let's fail with EINVAL when the ns_cgroup subsys is created (a printk will help the user to understand why the creation fails).

Current behavior: ================= (1) When we mount a cgroup, we can specify the 'all' option which means to enable all the cgroup subsystems. This is the default option when no option is specified. (2) If we want to mount a cgroup with a subset of the supported cgroup subsystems, we have to specify a subsystems name list for the mount option. (3) If we specify another option like 'noprefix' or 'release_agent', the actual code wants the 'all' or a subsystem name option specified also. Not critical but a bit not friendly as we should assume (1) in this case. (4) Logically, the 'all' option is mutually exclusive with a subsystem name, but this is not detected. In other words: succeed : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup => is it 'all' or 'freezer' ? fails : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup => succeed if we do '-o noprefix,all' The following patches consolidate a bit the mount options check. New behavior: ============= (1) untouched (2) untouched (3) the 'all' option will be by default when specifying other than a subsystem name option (4) raises an error In other words: fails : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup succeed : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup For the sake of lisibility, the if ... then ... else ... if ... indentation when parsing the options has been changed to: if ... then ... continue fi Signed-off-by:Serge E.

The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces. When a new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created too. The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the child of 'clone'. This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup. Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing problems with it: (1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST (2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an application creating several namespaces where the system will automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the cgroupfs (eg. a vrf based on the network namespace). (3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check and clean these cgroups. This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and the cgroupfs mount option. It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when a child cgroup is created. We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as this flag brings a compatibility. We have now to manually create and add the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework. This patch: Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup. https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup. This control file is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the parent cgroup or not. The default value is 'false'. This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all the subsystem, if it is available. At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the post_clone callback. The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children' mount option. Signed-off-by: -

There are 4 state transitions possible for a freezer. Only FREEZING -> FROZEN transaction is done lazily. This patch allows update_freezer_state only to perform this transaction and renames the function to update_if_frozen. Moreover is_task_frozen_enough function is removed and its every occurence is replaced with frozen(). Therefore for a group to become FROZEN every task must be frozen. The previous version could trigger a following bug: When cgroup is in the process of freezing (but none of its tasks are frozen yet), update_freezer_state() (called from freezer_read or freezer_write) would incorrectly report that a group is 'THAWED' (because nfrozen = 0), allowing the transaction FREEZING -> THAWED without writing anything to 'freezer.state'. This is incorrect according to the documentation. This could result in a 'THAWED' cgroup with frozen tasks inside.

It is possible to move a task from its cgroup even if this group is 'FREEZING'. This results in a nasty bug - the moved task will become frozen OUTSIDE its original cgroup and will remain in a permanent 'D' state. This patch allows to migrate the task only between THAWED cgroups. This behavior was observed and easily reproduced on a single core laptop. Notice that reproducibility depends highly on the machine used.

The root freezer_state is always CGROUP_THAWED so we can remove the special case from the code. The test itself can be handy and is extracted to static function. Signed-off-by:

When dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes is written the other parameter is disabled and set to 0 (in dirty_bytes_handler() / dirty_ratio_handler()). We do the same for dirty_background_ratio and dirty_background_bytes. However, in the sysctl documentation, we say that the counterpart becomes a function of the old value, that is not correct.
