  • dc52ddc0e   container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem ... Browse Code »

    This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
    framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
    a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

    The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
    freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
    in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
    the cgroup. Reading will return the current state.

    * Examples of usage :

    # mkdir /containers/freezer
    # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
    # mkdir /containers/0
    # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

    to get status of the freezer subsystem :

    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    RUNNING

    to freeze all tasks in the container :

    # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    FREEZING
    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    FROZEN

    to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

    # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    RUNNING

    This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
    task in a simple scenario.

    It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we
    return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
    something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
    time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
    by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain
    "FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

    1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
    the freezer.state file
    2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
    the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
    and returns EIO)
    3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
    state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

    name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove
    them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't
    do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array
    may be needed (name).

  • b418da16d   compat: generic compat get/settimeofday ... Browse Code »

    Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval
    conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same
    results.

    Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs
    in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files
    in a sparate patch.

  • f7a5000f7   compat: move cp_compat_stat to common code ... Browse Code »

    struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so
    cp_compat_stat should be, too.

    Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some
    high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the
    SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.

    This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with
    a common one based on the x86-64 one.
