cgroup in general is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the
fundamental structural component and css_parent() was introduced to
convert from using cgroup->parent to css->parent. It was quite some
time ago and we're moving forward with making css more prominent.This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users
dereference css->parent. While at it, explicitly mark fields of css
which are public and immutable.v2: New usage from device_cgroup.c converted.

Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts. The conversions are mostly mechanical.* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
respectively instead of being specified as arguments.* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.
* @buf is not trimmed automatically. Trim if necessary. Note that
blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
whitespaces.cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
v2: netprio was missing from conversion. Converted.

Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir(). This is pure rename.v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget(). Update
accordingly.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

global freezer_mutex. This also makes the comments explaining the
intricacies of policy inheritance and the locking around it as the

the new task_css_is_root() without doing rcu_read_lock/unlock(). If
not, it grabs freezer_mutex and performs the operation.* freezer_read() and freezer_change_state() grab freezer_mutex across
the whole operation and pin the css while iterating so that each
descendant processing happens in sleepable context.Fixes: 96d365e0b86e ("cgroup: make css_set_lock a rwsem and rename it to css_set_rwsem")

cgroup_subsys->fork() callback is special in that it's called outside
the usual cgroup locking and may race with on-going migration.
freezer_fork() currently doesn't consider such race condition;
however, it is still correct thanks to the fact that freeze_task() may
be called spuriously.This is quite subtle. Let's explain what's going on and add test to
detect racing and losing to task migration and skip freeze_task() in
such cases for documentation.This doesn't make any behavior difference meaningful to userland.

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.

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs. This patch
replaces cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show() which is
not limited to single_open() operation and will map directcly to
kernfs seq_file interface.The conversions are mechanical. As ->seq_show() doesn't have @css and
@cft, the functions which make use of them are converted to use
seq_css() and seq_cft() respectively. In several occassions, e.f. if
it has seq_string in its name, the function name is updated to fit the
new method better.This patch does not introduce any behavior changes.

Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin
(root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining
consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of
introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway;
however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a
descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and
looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that
including origin would result in simpler code overall.While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup
API including the iterators has recently gone through major
restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without
adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this
type of change.The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block
had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the
iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added. Some
conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by
consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref
operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any
noticeable difference.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in
subsystem API. For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because* In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway.
* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different
subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the
hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.
Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and
subsystem* For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created
and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy. Having
cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot
easier.Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward. Noteworthy changes

Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods
for rationale.This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of
@cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem
pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the
previous patch and can be converted the same way.Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some
interesting ones.* freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead
of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler
too once iterators are converted to use css.* memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to
vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
which is different from the current state where all css's are
allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This
in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
being performed for.* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods
often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits
much better.This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few
noteworthy changes are* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
subsystems.* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
dereference is replaced with local variable access.This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.
v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so

Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css. cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on
cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure. Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
accessor. Added.* memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly
handle NULL input. Updated.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

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.

RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen
no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the
non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was
specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough".v2: As Tejun pointed out, we can also change get_signal_to_deliver()
and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

freezer_read/write() used cgroup_lock_live_group() to synchronize
against task migration into and out of the target cgroup.
cgroup_lock_live_group() grabs the internal cgroup lock and using it
from outside cgroup core leads to complex and fragile locking
dependency issues which are difficult to resolve.Now that freezer_can_attach() is replaced with freezer_attach() and
update_if_frozen() updated, nothing requires excluding migration
against freezer state reads and changes.This patch removes cgroup_lock_live_group() and the matching
cgroup_unlock() usages. The prone-to-bitrot, already outdated and
unnecessary global lock hierarchy documentation is replaced with
documentation in local scope.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Locking will change such that migration can happen while
freezer_read/write() is in progress. This means that
update_if_frozen() can no longer assume that all tasks in the cgroup
coform to the current freezer state - newly migrated tasks which
haven't finished freezer_attach() yet might be in any state.This patch updates update_if_frozen() such that it no longer verifies
task states against freezer state. It now simply decides whether
FREEZING stage is complete.This removal of verification makes it meaningless to call from
freezer_change_state(). Drop it and move the fast exit test from
freezer_read() - the only left caller - to update_if_frozen().Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup_freezer is one of the few users of cgroup_subsys->can_attach()
and uses it to prevent tasks from being migrated into or out of a
frozen cgroup. This makes cgroup_freezer cumbersome to use especially
when co-mounted with other controllers.->can_attach() is problematic in general as it can make co-mounting
multiple cgroups difficult - migrating tasks may fail for reasons
completely irrelevant for other controllers. freezer_can_attach() in
particular is more problematic because it messes with cgroup internal
locking to ensure that the state verification performed at
freezer_can_attach() stays valid until migration is complete.This patch replaces freezer_can_attach() with freezer_attach() so that
tasks are always allowed to migrate - they are nudged into the
conforming state from freezer_attach(). This means that there can be
tasks which are being migrated which don't conform to the current
cgroup_freezer state until freezer_attach() is complete. Under the
current locking scheme, the only such place is freezer_fork() which is
updated to handle such window.While this patch doesn't remove the use of internal cgroup locking
from freezer_read/write() paths, it removes the requirement to keep
the freezer state constant while migrating and enables such change.Note that this creates a userland visible behavior change - FROZEN
cgroup can no longer be used to lock migrations in and out of the
cgroup. This behavior change is intended. I don't think the feature
is necessary - userland should coordinate accesses to cgroup fs anyway
- and even if the feature is needed cgroup_freezer is the completely
wrong place to implement it.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup_freezer doesn't transition from FREEZING to FROZEN if the
cgroup contains PF_NOFREEZE tasks or tasks sleeping with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP set.Only kernel tasks can be non-freezable (PF_NOFREEZE) and there's
nothing cgroup_freezer or userland can do about or to it. It's
pointless to stall the transition for PF_NOFREEZE tasks.PF_FREEZER_SKIP indicates that the task can be skipped when
determining whether frozen state is reached. A task with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP is guaranteed to perform try_to_freeze() after it
wakes up and can be considered frozen much like stopped or traced
tasks. Note that a vfork parent uses PF_FREEZER_SKIP while waiting
for the child.This updates update_if_frozen() such that it only considers freezable
tasks and treats %true freezer_should_skip() tasks as frozen.This allows cgroups w/ kthreads and vfork parents successfully reach
FROZEN state.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

try_to_freeze_cgroup() has condition checks which are intended to fail
the write operation to freezer.state if there are tasks which can't be
frozen. The condition checks have been broken for quite some time
now. freeze_task() returns %false if the target task can't be frozen,
so num_cant_freeze_now is never incremented.In addition, strangely, cgroup freezing proceeds even after the write
is failed, which is rather broken.This patch rips out the non-working code intended to fail the write to
freezer.state when the cgroup contains non-freezable tasks and makes
it official that writes to freezer.state succeed whether there are
non-freezable tasks in the cgroup or not.This leaves is_task_frozen_enough() with only one user -
upste_if_frozen(). Collapse it into the caller. Note that this
removes an extra call to freezing().This doesn't cause any userland behavior changes.

cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state. If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set. Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer. If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Convert debug, freezer, cpuset, cpu_cgroup, cpuacct, net_prio, blkio,
net_cls and device controllers to use the new cftype based interface.
Termination entry is added to cftype arrays and populate callbacks are
replaced with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes initializations.This is functionally identical transformation. There shouldn't be any
visible behavior change.memcg is rather special and will be converted separately.

The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because
a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it
belongs to.Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of
this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size
is minimal.16 files changed, 113 insertions(+), 162 deletions(-)
