Pull core block IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"Here are the core IO block bits for 3.11. It contains:- A tweak to the reserved tag logic from Jan, for weirdo devices with
just 3 free tags. But for those it improves things substantially
for random writes.- Periodic writeback fix from Jan. Marked for stable as well.
- Fix for a race condition in IO scheduler switching from Jianpeng.
- The hierarchical blk-cgroup support from Tejun. This is the grunt
of the series.- blk-throttle fix from Vivek.
Just a note that I'm in the middle of a relocation, whole family is
flying out tomorrow. Hence I will be awal the remainder of this week,
but back at work again on Monday the 15th. CC'ing Tejun, since any
potential "surprises" will most likely be from the blk-cgroup work.

With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper
hierarchy support. Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq
and propagates correctly. The only thing missing is setting
->parent_sq correctly so that throtl_grp hierarchy matches the cgroup
hierarchy.This patch updates throtl_pd_init() such that service_queues form the
same hierarchy as the cgroup hierarchy if sane_behavior is enabled.
As this concludes proper hierarchy support for blkcg, the shameful
.broken_hierarchy tag is removed from blkio_subsys.v2: Updated blkio-controller.txt as suggested by Vivek.

memcg via the new "rss_huge" stat in memory.stat. The units are in
bytes.This is helpful to determine the hugepage utilization for individual
jobs on the system in comparison to rss and opportunities where
MADV_HUGEPAGE may be helpful.The amount of anonymous transparent hugepages is also included in "rss"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete.
cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().- device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
- perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
- A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated
by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately,
cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag
is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag
won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
implicitly along with unified hierarchy.The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy
support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
introducing a full separate set of control knobs.This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely
to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
it's supportable in the long term.Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able
to drop it in a decade.Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.* 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (45 commits)

With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the
interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the pressure level
notifications. The levels are defined like this:The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new
allocations. Monitoring this reclaiming activity might be useful for
maintaining cache level. Upon notification, the program (typically
"Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e.
prematurely shutdown unimportant services).The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory
pressure, the system might be making swap, paging out active file
caches, etc. Upon this event applications may decide to further analyze
vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any
resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk.The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is
about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its
way to trigger. Applications should do whatever they can to help the
system. It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other
statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action.The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e. the
events are not pass-through. Here is what this means: for example you
have three cgroups: A->B->C. Now you set up an event listener on
cgroups A, B and C, and suppose group C experiences some pressure. In
this situation, only group C will receive the notification, i.e. groups
A and B will not receive it. This is done to avoid excessive
"broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is
especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing. So, organize the
cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to
implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.)Performance wise, the memory pressure notifications feature itself is
lightweight and does not require much of bookkeeping, in contrast to the
rest of memcg features. Unfortunately, as of current memcg
implementation, pages accounting is an inseparable part and cannot be
turned off. The good news is that there are some efforts[1] to improve
the situation; plus, implementing the same, fully API-compatible[2]
interface for CONFIG_MEMCG=n case (e.g. embedded) is also a viable
option, so it will not require any changes on the userland side.[1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/6291

This patch makes exception changes to propagate down in hierarchy respecting
when possible local exceptions.New exceptions allowing additional access to devices won't be propagated, but
it'll be possible to add an exception to access all of part of the newly
allowed device(s).New exceptions disallowing access to devices will be propagated down and the
local group's exceptions will be revalidated for the new situation.
Example:
A
/ \
Bgroup behavior exceptions
A allow "b 8:* rwm", "c 116:1 rw"
B deny "c 1:3 rwm", "c 116:2 rwm", "b 3:* rwm"If a new exception is added to group A:
# echo "c 116:* r" > A/devices.deny
it'll propagate down and after revalidating B's local exceptions, the exception
"c 116:2 rwm" will be removed.In case parent's exceptions change and local exceptions are not allowed anymore,
they'll be deleted.v7:
- do not allow behavior change when the cgroup has children
- update documentationv6: fixed issues pointed by Serge Hallyn
- only copy parent's exceptions while propagating behavior if the local
behavior is different
- while propagating exceptions, do not clear and copy parent's: it'd be against

With the previous two patches, all cfqg scheduling decisions are based
on vfraction and ready for hierarchy support. The only thing which
keeps the behavior flat is cfqg_flat_parent() which makes vfraction
calculation consider all non-root cfqgs children of the root cfqg.Replace it with cfqg_parent() which returns the real parent. This
enables full blkcg hierarchy support for cfq-iosched. For example,
consider the following hierarchy.root
/ \
A:500 B:250
/ \
AA:500 AB:1000For simplicity, let's say all the leaf nodes have active tasks and are
on service tree. For each leaf node, vfraction would beAA: (500 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.2222
AB: (1000 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.4444
B: (250 / 750) =~ 0.3333and vdisktime will be distributed accordingly. For more detail,
please refer to Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt.v2: cfq-iosched.txt updated to describe group scheduling as suggested
by Vivek.v3: blkio-controller.txt updated.

It is useful to know how many charges are still left after a call to
res_counter_uncharge. While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read
after uncharge, this can be racy.If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down
to 0, only one of the callers should see it. This is the same semantics
as the atomic variables in the kernel.Since the current return value is void, we don't need to worry about
anything breaking due to this change: nobody relied on that, and only
users appearing from now on will be checking this value.Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on
making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.- cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and
caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last
reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a
separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
changes on top.- The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
improve hierarchy support.- cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
cgroups are frozen.- netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
properly.- Various fixes and cleanups.
- Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
stacked on top."Fixed up a trivial conflict in mm/memcontrol.c as per Tejun (due to
commit bea8c150a7 ("memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops") in master

mem_cgroup_charge_common() is invoked as the entry point for cgroup limits
charge rather than mem_cgroup_charge(), as the later has been removed for

Inherit netprio configuration from ->css_online(), allow nesting and
remove .broken_hierarchy marking. This makes netprio_cgroup's
behavior match netcls_cgroup's.Note that this patch changes userland-visible behavior. Nesting is
allowed and the first level cgroups below the root cgroup behave
differently - they inherit priorities from the root cgroup on creation
instead of starting with 0. This is unfortunate but not doing so is
much crazier.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it).This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out
with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko

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.

While reading through Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt, I found a number
of minor wordos and typos. The patch below is a conservative handling of
some of these: it provides just a number of "obviously correct" fixes to
the English that improve the readability of the document somewhat.
Obviously some more significant fixes need to be made to the document, but
some of those may not be in the "obvious correct" category.Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk
