How we deal with updates to exclusive cpusets is currently broken.
As an example, suppose we have an exclusive cpuset composed of
two cpus: A[cpu0,cpu1]. We can assign SCHED_DEADLINE task to it
up to the allowed bandwidth. If we want now to modify cpusetA's
cpumask, we have to check that removing a cpu's amount of
bandwidth doesn't break AC guarantees. This thing isn't checked
in the current code.This patch fixes the problem above, denying an update if the
new cpumask won't have enough bandwidth for SCHED_DEADLINE tasks
that are currently active.Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli

Exclusive cpusets are the only way users can restrict SCHED_DEADLINE tasks
affinity (performing what is commonly called clustered scheduling).
Unfortunately, such thing is currently broken for two reasons:- No check is performed when the user tries to attach a task to
an exlusive cpuset (recall that exclusive cpusets have an
associated maximum allowed bandwidth).- Bandwidths of source and destination cpusets are not correctly
updated after a task is migrated between them.This patch fixes both things at once, as they are opposite faces
of the same coin.The check is performed in cpuset_can_attach(), as there aren't any
points of failure after that function. The updated is split in two
halves. We first reserve bandwidth in the destination cpuset, after
we pass the check in cpuset_can_attach(). And we then release
bandwidth from the source cpuset when the task's affinity is
actually changed. Even if there can be time windows when sched_setattr()
may erroneously fail in the source cpuset, we are fine with it, as
we can't perfom an atomic update of both cpusets at once.Reported-by: Daniel Wagner

Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo -
Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate
from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of
cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same
as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags.
If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the
enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to
do.Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d8227 ("cpuset:
rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with
the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the
commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly
call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic
allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers
think before using the function.However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by
the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these
precautions are no longer necessary.So let's simplify the API back to the single check.

The callback_mutex is only used to synchronize reads/updates of cpusets'
flags and cpu/node masks. These operations should always proceed fast so
there's no reason why we can't use a spinlock instead of the mutex.Converting the callback_mutex into a spinlock will let us call
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall from atomic context. This, in turn, makes
it possible to simplify the code by merging the hardwall and asoftwall
checks into the same function, which is the business of the next patch.Suggested-by: Zefan Li

When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"Mostly changes to get the v2 interface ready. The core features are
mostly ready now and I think it's reasonable to expect to drop the
devel mask in one or two devel cycles at least for a subset of
controllers.- cgroup added a controller dependency mechanism so that block cgroup
can depend on memory cgroup. This will be used to finally support
IO provisioning on the writeback traffic, which is currently being
implemented.- The v2 interface now uses a separate table so that the interface
files for the new interface are explicitly declared in one place.
Each controller will explicitly review and add the files for the
new interface.- cpuset is getting ready for the hierarchical behavior which is in
the similar style with other controllers so that an ancestor's
configuration change doesn't change the descendants' configurations
irreversibly and processes aren't silently migrated when a CPU or
node goes down.All the changes are to the new interface and no behavior changed for
the multiple hierarchies"* 'for-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (29 commits)

Currently, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is used for both the unified
default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each file
with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to appear
only on one of them. This is quite hairy and error-prone. Also, we
may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy without
thinking it through.cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype arrays and apply each only
on the hierarchies of the matching type. This will allow organizing
cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems to scrutinize
the interface which is being exposed in the new default hierarchy.In preparation, this patch renames cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to
cgroup_subsys->legacy_cftypes. This patch is pure rename.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems are the configured masks, and we need

As the configured masks won't be limited by its parent, and the top
cpuset's masks won't change when hotplug happens, it's natural to
allow writing offlined masks to the configured masks.If on default hierarchy:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# mkdir /cpuset/sub
# echo 1 > /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
# cat /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
1If on legacy hierarchy:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# mkdir /cpuset/sub
# echo 1 > /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argumentNote the checks don't need to be gated by cgroup_on_dfl, because we've
initialized top_cpuset.{cpus,mems}_allowed accordingly in cpuset_bind().Signed-off-by: Li Zefan

Firstly offline cpu1:
# echo 0-1 > cpuset.cpus
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# cat cpuset.cpus
0-1
# cat cpuset.effective_cpus
0Then online it:
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# cat cpuset.cpus
0-1
# cat cpuset.effective_cpus
0-1And cpuset will bring it back to the effective mask.
The implementation is quite straightforward. Instead of calculating the
offlined cpus/mems and do updates, we just set the new effective_mask
to online_mask & congifured_mask.This is a behavior change for default hierarchy, so legacy hierarchy
won't be affected.v2:
- make refactoring of cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() as seperate patch,
suggested by Tejun.

effective_mask == configured_mask & parent effective_mask except when
the reault is empty, in which case it inherits parent effective_mask.

sane_behavior has been used as a development vehicle for the default
unified hierarchy. Now that the default hierarchy is in place, the
flag became redundant and confusing as its usage is allowed on all
hierarchies. There are gonna be either the default hierarchy or
legacy ones. Let's make that clear by removing sane_behavior support
on non-default hierarchies.This patch replaces cgroup_sane_behavior() with cgroup_on_dfl(). The
comment on top of CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR is moved to on top of
cgroup_on_dfl() with sane_behavior specific part dropped.On the default and legacy hierarchies w/o sane_behavior, this

Writing to either "cpuset.cpus" or "cpuset.mems" file flushes
cpuset_hotplug_work so that cpu or memory hotunplug doesn't end up
migrating tasks off a cpuset after new resources are added to it.As cpuset_hotplug_work calls into cgroup core via
cgroup_transfer_tasks(), this flushing adds the dependency to cgroup
core locking from cpuset_write_resmak(). This used to be okay because
cgroup interface files were protected by a different mutex; however,
8353da1f91f1 ("cgroup: remove cgroup_tree_mutex") simplified the
cgroup core locking and this dependency became a deadlock hazard -
cgroup file removal performed under cgroup core lock tries to drain
on-going file operation which is trying to flush cpuset_hotplug_work
blocked on the same cgroup core lock.The locking simplification was done because kernfs added an a lot
easier way to deal with circular dependencies involving kernfs active
protection. Let's use the same strategy in cpuset and break active
protection in cpuset_write_resmask(). While it isn't the prettiest,
this is a very rare, likely unique, situation which also goes away on
the unified hierarchy.The commands to trigger the deadlock warning without the patch and the
lockdep output follow.localhost:/ # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /cpuset

mutex_lock(&callback_mutex) under the rcu_read_lock(which was hold in
__mpol_dup()). And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is
under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock
protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in
current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug.This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug
mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems
rebinding on fork():"When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes
->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound
in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get
updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the
cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the
cgroup's tasklist."Signed-off-by: Gu Zheng

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. Heavy restructuring including
locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but
individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and
rationales of the the unified hierarchyDocumentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt
is added.
Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css
iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
used to simplify memcg significantly"* 'for-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (77 commits)

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

Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we
don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative
fast-paths.Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
is inverted from its previous incarnation.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
which brought in slab.h.There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"* 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (74 commits)

cftype->write_string() just passes on the writeable buffer from kernfs
and there's no reason to add const restriction on the buffer. The
only thing const achieves is unnecessarily complicating parsing of the
buffer. Drop const from @buffer.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
