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

cgroup_taskset_cur_css() will be removed during the planned
resturcturing of migration path. The only use of
cgroup_taskset_cur_css() is finding out the old cgroup_subsys_state of
the leader in cpuset_attach(). This usage can easily be removed by
remembering the old value from cpuset_can_attach().Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

If !NULL, @skip_css makes cgroup_taskset_for_each() skip the matching

include tasks which are already in the target cgroup. Drop @skip_css

cgroup_task_count() read-locks css_set_lock and walks all tasks to
count them and then returns the result. The only thing all the users
want is determining whether the cgroup is empty or not. This patch
implements cgroup_has_tasks() which tests whether cgroup->cset_links
is empty, replaces all cgroup_task_count() usages and unexports it.Note that the test isn't synchronized. This is the same as before.
The test has always been racy.This will help planned css_set locking update.

cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection. Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends. Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().
* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics. Users
which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
quite a bit. As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
removed.v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal.
v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and
pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs
functions with NULL kn leading to oops. Test for NULL kn and
print "/" if so. This issue was reported by Fengguang Wu.v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f887 ("cgroup: protect modifications to

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.

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.All users of cftype->read() can be easily served, usually better, by
seq_file and other methods. Rename cpuset_common_file_read() to
cpuset_common_read_seq_string() and convert it to use
read_seq_string() interface instead. This not only simplifies the
code but also makes it more versatile. Before, the file couldn't
output if the result is longer than PAGE_SIZE. After the conversion,
seq_file automatically grows the buffer until the output can fit.This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes except for being
able to handle output larger than PAGE_SIZE.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible
to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
planned unified hierarchy.- The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
(cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers
(cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed,
which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that
decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.- cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high
flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward,
new events will simply generate file modified event and the
existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull
request contains prepatory patches for such change.- Various fixes and cleanups"

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_scan_tasks() takes a pointer to struct cgroup_scanner as its
sole argument and the only function of that struct is packing the
arguments of the function call which are consisted of five fields.
It's not too unusual to pack parameters into a struct when the number
of arguments gets excessive or the whole set needs to be passed around
a lot, but neither holds here making it just weird.Drop struct cgroup_scanner and pass the params directly to
cgroup_scan_tasks(). Note that struct cpuset_change_nodemask_arg was
added to cpuset.c to pass both ->cs and ->newmems pointer to
cpuset_change_nodemask() using single data pointer.This doesn't make any functional differences.

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
are* blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used. Removed.
* freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used. Removed.
* devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used. Removed.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup.
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.
Updated accordingly.* cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left. Removed.
* cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left. Removed.
* hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.* net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left. Removed.

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
that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too. Suggested

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

cpuset uses "const" qualifiers on struct cpuset in some functions;
however, it doesn't work well when a value derived from returned const
pointer has to be passed to an accessor. It's C after all.Drop the "const" qualifiers except for the trivially leaf ones. This
patch doesn't make any functional changes.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css(). This patch is pure rename.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:
"cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup
right after creation didn't allow any task executions before
configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the
descendants irreversibly and so on. These behaviors are inherently
nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other
controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy.Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for
__DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull
request. It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further
but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior. In the process, the
rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the
limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified."* 'for-3.11-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cpuset: rename @cont to @cgrp

cpuset: allow to move tasks to empty cpusets

Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time
back and the comments/Documentation never got updated.I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of
fixing it globally.I haven't crossed check if the stuff that is referenced in sched/core.c by all
these files is still present and hasn't changed as that wasn't the motive behind
this patch.Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar

Before moving tasks out of empty cpusets, update_tasks_nodemask()
is called, which calls do_migrate_pages(xx, from, to). Then those
tasks are moved to an ancestor, and do_migrate_pages() is called
again.The first time: from = node_to_be_offlined, to = empty.
The second time: from = empty, to = ancestor's nodemask.so looks like no pages will be migrated.
Fix this by:
- Don't call update_tasks_nodemask() on empty cpusets.
- Pass cs->old_mems_allowed to do_migrate_pages().v4: added comment in cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() and rephased comment
in cpuset_attach().Signed-off-by: Li Zefan

Currently some cpuset behaviors are not friendly when cpuset is co-mounted
with other cgroup controllers.Now with this patchset if cpuset is mounted with sane_behavior option,
it behaves differently:- Tasks will be kept in empty cpusets when hotplug happens and take
masks of ancestors with non-empty cpus/mems, instead of being moved to
an ancestor.- A task can be moved into an empty cpuset, and again it takes masks of
ancestors, so the user can drop a task into a newly created cgroup without
having to do anything for it.As tasks can reside in empy cpusets, here're some rules:
- They can be moved to another cpuset, regardless it's empty or not.
- Though it takes masks from ancestors, it takes other configs from the
empty cpuset.- If the ancestors' masks are changed, those tasks will also be updated
to take new masks.v2: add documentation in include/linux/cgroup.h

To achieve this:
- We call update_tasks_cpumask/nodemask() for empty cpusets when
hotplug happens, instead of moving tasks out of them.- When a cpuset's masks are changed by writing cpuset.cpus/mems,
we also update tasks in child cpusets which are empty.v3:
- do propagation work in one place for both hotplug and unplugv2:
- drop rcu_read_lock before calling update_task_nodemask() and
update_task_cpumask(), instead of using workqueue.
