      cgroup: add cgroup->id · 0a950f65
      Tejun Heo authored
      With the introduction of generic cgroup hierarchy iterators, css_id is
      being phased out.  It was unnecessarily complex, id'ing the wrong
      thing (cgroups need IDs, not CSSes) and has other oddities like not
      being available at ->css_alloc().
      
      This patch adds cgroup->id, which is a simple per-hierarchy
      ida-allocated ID which is assigned before ->css_alloc() and released
      after ->css_free().

      cgroup, cpuset: remove cgroup_subsys->post_clone() · 033fa1c5
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently CGRP_CPUSET_CLONE_CHILDREN triggers ->post_clone().  Now
      that clone_children is cpuset specific, there's no reason to have this
      rather odd option activation mechanism in cgroup core.  cpuset can
      check the flag from its ->css_allocate() and take the necessary
      action.
      
      Move cpuset_post_clone() logic to the end of cpuset_css_alloc() and
      remove cgroup_subsys->post_clone().
      
      Loosely based on Glauber's "generalize post_clone into post_create"
      patch.

      clone_children is only meaningful for cpuset and will stay that way.
      Rename the flag to reflect that and update documentation.  Also, drop
      clone_children() wrapper in cgroup.c.  The thin wrapper is used only a
      few times and one of them will go away soon.

      cgroup: update cgroup_create() failure path · 4b8b47eb
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_create() was ignoring failure of cgroupfs files.  Update it
      such that, if file creation fails, it rolls back by calling
      cgroup_destroy_locked() and returns failure.
      
      Note that error out goto labels are renamed.  The labels are a bit
      confusing but will become better w/ later cgroup operation renames.

      cgroup: use mutex_trylock() when grabbing i_mutex of a new cgroup directory · b8a2df6a
      Tejun Heo authored
      All cgroup directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex; however, new
      directory creation is a special case.  A new cgroup directory is
      created while holding cgroup_mutex.  Populating the new directory
      requires both the new directory's i_mutex and cgroup_mutex.  Because
      all directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex, grabbing both
      requires releasing cgroup_mutex first, which isn't a good idea as the
      new cgroup isn't yet ready to be manipulated by other cgroup
      opreations.
      
      This is worked around by grabbing the new directory's i_mutex while
      holding cgroup_mutex before making it visible.  As there's no other
      user at that point, grabbing the i_mutex under cgroup_mutex can't lead
      to deadlock.
      
      cgroup_create_file() was using I_MUTEX_CHILD to tell lockdep not to
      worry about the reverse locking order; however, this creates pseudo
      locking dependency cgroup_mutex -> I_MUTEX_CHILD, which isn't true -
      all directory i_mutexes are still nested outside cgroup_mutex.  This
      pseudo locking dependency can lead to spurious lockdep warnings.
      
      Use mutex_trylock() instead.  This will always succeed and lockdep
      doesn't create any locking dependency for it.

      cgroup: simplify cgroup_load_subsys() failure path · d19e19de
      Tejun Heo authored
      Now that cgroup_unload_subsys() can tell whether the root css is
      online or not, we can safely call cgroup_unload_subsys() after idr
      init failure in cgroup_load_subsys().
      
      Replace the manual unrolling and invoke cgroup_unload_subsys() on
      failure.  This drops cgroup_mutex inbetween but should be safe as the
      subsystem will fail try_module_get() and thus can't be mounted
      inbetween.  As this means that cgroup_unload_subsys() can be called
      before css_sets are rehashed, remove BUG_ON() on %NULL
      css_set->subsys[] from cgroup_unload_subsys().

      cgroup: introduce CSS_ONLINE flag and on/offline_css() helpers · a31f2d3f
      Tejun Heo authored
      New helpers on/offline_css() respectively wrap ->post_create() and
      ->pre_destroy() invocations.  online_css() sets CSS_ONLINE after
      ->post_create() is complete and offline_css() invokes ->pre_destroy()
      iff CSS_ONLINE is set and clears it while also handling the temporary
      dropping of cgroup_mutex.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change at the moment but
      will be used to improve cgroup_create() failure path and allow
      ->post_create() to fail.

      Currently, CSS_* flags are defined as bit positions and manipulated
      using atomic bitops.  There's no reason to use atomic bitops for them
      and bit positions are clunkier to deal with than bit masks.  Make

      cgroup: cgroup->dentry isn't a RCU pointer · febfcef6
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup->dentry is marked and used as a RCU pointer; however, it isn't
      one - the final dentry put doesn't go through call_rcu().  cgroup and
      dentry share the same RCU freeing rule via synchronize_rcu() in
      cgroup_diput() (kfree_rcu() used on cgrp is unnecessary).  If cgrp is
      accessible under RCU read lock, so is its dentry and dereferencing
      cgrp->dentry doesn't need any further RCU protection or annotation.
      
      While not being accurate, before the previous patch, the RCU accessors
      served a purpose as memory barriers - cgroup->dentry used to be
      assigned after the cgroup was made visible to cgroup_path(), so the
      assignment and dereferencing in cgroup_path() needed the memory
      barrier pair.  Now that list_add_tail_rcu() happens after
      cgroup->dentry is assigned, this no longer is necessary.
      
      Remove the now unnecessary and misleading RCU annotations from
      cgroup->dentry.  To make up for the removal of rcu_dereference_check()
      in cgroup_path(), add an explicit rcu_lockdep_assert(), which asserts
      the dereference rule of @cgrp, not cgrp->dentry.

      cgroup: create directory before linking while creating a new cgroup · 4e139afc
      Tejun Heo authored
      While creating a new cgroup, cgroup_create() links the newly allocated
      cgroup into various places before trying to create its directory.
      Because cgroup life-cycle is tied to the vfs objects, this makes it
      impossible to use cgroup_rmdir() for rolling back creation - the
      removal logic depends on having full vfs objects.
      
      This patch moves directory creation above linking and collect linking
      operations to one place.  This allows directory creation failure to
      share error exit path with css allocation failures and any failure
      sites afterwards (to be added later) can use cgroup_rmdir() logic to
      undo creation.
      
      Note that this also makes the memory barriers around cgroup->dentry,
      which currently is misleadingly using RCU operations, unnecessary.
      This will be handled in the next patch.
      
      While at it, locking BUG_ON() on i_mutex is converted to
      lockdep_assert_held().
      
      v2: Patch originally removed %NULL dentry check in cgroup_path();
          however, Li pointed out that this patch doesn't make it
          unnecessary as ->create() may call cgroup_path().  Drop the
          change for now.

      cgroup_freezer: implement proper hierarchy support · ef9fe980
      Tejun Heo authored
      Up until now, cgroup_freezer didn't implement hierarchy properly.
      cgroups could be arranged in hierarchy but it didn't make any
      difference in how each cgroup_freezer behaved.  They all operated
      separately.
      
      This patch implements proper hierarchy support.  If a cgroup is
      frozen, all its descendants are frozen.  A cgroup is thawed iff it and
      all its ancestors are THAWED.  freezer.self_freezing shows the current
      freezing state for the cgroup itself.  freezer.parent_freezing shows
      whether the cgroup is freezing because any of its ancestors is
      freezing.
      
      freezer_post_create() locks the parent and new cgroup and inherits the
      parent's state and freezer_change_state() applies new state top-down
      using cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which guarantees that no child
      can escape its parent's state.  update_if_frozen() uses
      cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() to propagate frozen states
      bottom-up.
      
      Synchronization could be coarser and easier by using a single mutex to
      protect all hierarchy operations.  Finer grained approach was used
      because it wasn't too difficult for cgroup_freezer and I think it's
      beneficial to have an example implementation and cgroup_freezer is
      rather simple and can serve a good one.
      
      As this makes cgroup_freezer properly hierarchical,
      freezer_subsys.broken_hierarchy marking is removed.
      
      Note that this patch changes userland visible behavior - freezing a
      cgroup now freezes all its descendants too.  This behavior change is
      intended and has been warned via .broken_hierarchy.
      
      v2: Michal spotted a bug in freezer_change_state() - descendants were
          inheriting from the wrong ancestor.  Fixed.
      
      v3: Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt updated.

      toggles it from the newly added freezer_post_create() and
      freezer_pre_destroy() while holding freezer->lock such that a
      cgroup_freezer can be reilably distinguished to be online.  This will
      be used by full hierarchy support.
      
      ONLINE test is added to freezer_apply_state() but it currently doesn't
      make any difference as freezer_write() can only be called for an
      online cgroup.
      
      Adjusting system_freezing_cnt on destruction is moved from
      freezer_destroy() to the new freezer_pre_destroy() for consistency.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

      cgroup_freezer: introduce CGROUP_FREEZING_[SELF|PARENT] · a2252180
      Tejun Heo authored
      Introduce FREEZING_SELF and FREEZING_PARENT and make FREEZING OR of
      the two flags.  This is to prepare for full hierarchy support.
      
      freezer_apply_date() is updated such that it can handle setting and
      clearing of both flags.  The two flags are also exposed to userland
      via read-only files self_freezing and parent_freezing.
      
      Other than the added cgroupfs files, this patch doesn't introduce any
      behavior change.

      cgroup_freezer: make freezer->state mask of flags · d6a2fe13
      Tejun Heo authored
      freezer->state was an enum value - one of THAWED, FREEZING and FROZEN.
      As the scheduled full hierarchy support requires more than one
      freezing condition, switch it to mask of flags.  If FREEZING is not
      set, it's thawed.  FREEZING is set if freezing or frozen.  If frozen,
      both FREEZING and FROZEN are set.  Now that tasks can be attached to
      an already frozen cgroup, this also makes freezing condition checks
      more natural.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

      cgroup_freezer: prepare freezer_change_state() for full hierarchy support · 04a4ec32
      Tejun Heo authored
      * Make freezer_change_state() take bool @freeze instead of enum
        freezer_state.
      
      * Separate out freezer_apply_state() out of freezer_change_state().
        This makes freezer_change_state() a rather silly thin wrapper.  It
        will be filled with hierarchy handling later on.

      cgroup: implement generic child / descendant walk macros · 574bd9f7
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, cgroup doesn't provide any generic helper for walking a
      given cgroup's children or descendants.  This patch adds the following
      three macros.
      
      * cgroup_for_each_child() - walk immediate children of a cgroup.
      
      * cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() - visit all descendants of a cgroup
        in pre-order tree traversal.
      
      * cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() - visit all descendants of a
        cgroup in post-order tree traversal.
      
      All three only require the user to hold RCU read lock during
      traversal.  Verifying that each iterated cgroup is online is the
      responsibility of the user.  When used with proper synchronization,
      cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() can be used to propagate state
      updates to descendants in reliable way.  See comments for details.
      
      v2: s/config/state/ in commit message and comments per Michal.  More
          documentation on synchronization rules.

      cgroup: use rculist ops for cgroup->children · eb6fd504
      Tejun Heo authored
      Use RCU safe list operations for cgroup->children.  This will be used
      to implement cgroup children / descendant walking which can be used by
      controllers.
      
      Note that cgroup_create() now puts a new cgroup at the end of the
      ->children list instead of head.  This isn't strictly necessary but is
      done so that the iteration order is more conventional.

      cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->post_create() · a8638030
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, there's no way for a controller to find out whether a new
      cgroup finished all ->create() allocatinos successfully and is
      considered "live" by cgroup.
      
      This becomes a problem later when we add generic descendants walking
      to cgroup which can be used by controllers as controllers don't have a
      synchronization point where it can synchronize against new cgroups
      appearing in such walks.
      
      This patch adds ->post_create().  It's called after all ->create()
      succeeded and the cgroup is linked into the generic cgroup hierarchy.
      This plays the counterpart of ->pre_destroy().
      
      When used in combination with the to-be-added generic descendant
      iterators, ->post_create() can be used to implement reliable state
      inheritance.  It will be explained with the descendant iterators.
      
      v2: Added a paragraph about its future use w/ descendant iterators per
          Michal.
      
      v3: Forgot to add ->post_create() invocation to cgroup_load_subsys().
          Fixed.

      Merge branch 'cgroup-rmdir-updates' into cgroup/for-3.8 · 1db1e31b
      Tejun Heo authored
      Pull rmdir updates into for-3.8 so that further callback updates can
      be put on top.  This pull created a trivial conflict between the
      following two commits.
      
        8c7f6edb ("cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them")
        ed957793 ("cgroup: kill cgroup_subsys->__DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs")
      
      The former added a field to cgroup_subsys and the latter removed one
      from it.  They happen to be colocated causing the conflict.  Keeping
      what's added and removing what's removed resolves the conflict.
