blkcg: remove blkcg->id

2014-09-08T15:55:37+00:00

blkcg->id is a unique id given to each blkcg; however, the
cgroup_subsys_state which each blkcg embeds already has ->serial_nr
which can be used for the same purpose.  Drop blkcg->id and replace
its uses with blkcg->css.serial_nr.  Rename cfq_cgroup->blkcg_id to
->blkcg_serial_nr and @id in check_blkcg_changed() to @serial_nr for
consistency.

Revert "block: add __init to blkcg_policy_register"

2014-06-22T22:34:11+00:00

This reverts commit a2d445d440003f2d70ee4cd4970ea82ace616fee.

The original commit is buggy, we do use the registration functions
at runtime for modular builds.

blkcg: fix use-after-free in __blkg_release_rcu() by making blkcg_gq refcnt an atomic_t

2014-06-22T22:30:52+00:00

Hello,

So, this patch should do.  Joe, Vivek, can one of you guys please
verify that the oops goes away with this patch?

Jens, the original thread can be read at

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1720729

The fix converts blkg->refcnt from int to atomic_t.  It does some
overhead but it should be minute compared to everything else which is
going on and the involved cacheline bouncing, so I think it's highly
unlikely to cause any noticeable difference.  Also, the refcnt in
question should be converted to a perpcu_ref for blk-mq anyway, so the
atomic_t is likely to go away pretty soon anyway.

Thanks.

------- 8< -------
__blkg_release_rcu() may be invoked after the associated request_queue
is released with a RCU grace period inbetween.  As such, the function
and callbacks invoked from it must not dereference the associated
request_queue.  This is clearly indicated in the comment above the
function.

Unfortunately, while trying to fix a different issue, 2a4fd070ee85
("blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU
callback") ignored this and added [un]locking of @blkg->q->queue_lock
to __blkg_release_rcu().  This of course can cause oops as the
request_queue may be long gone by the time this code gets executed.

The request_queue locking was added because blkcg_gq->refcnt is an int
protected with the queue lock and __blkg_release_rcu() needs to put
the parent.  Let's fix it by making blkcg_gq->refcnt an atomic_t and
dropping queue locking in the function.

Given the general heavy weight of the current request_queue and blkcg
operations, this is unlikely to cause any noticeable overhead.
Moreover, blkcg_gq->refcnt is likely to be converted to percpu_ref in
the near future, so whatever (most likely negligible) overhead it may
add is temporary.

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1.  Some general
  cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the
  NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq.  The pull request contains:

   - Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by
     the driver.  Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses
     such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of
     request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic.  From
     me.

   - Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags.  Some scsi devices have a huge
     shared tag space.  Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag
     depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual
     value.  From me.

   - Various blk-mq rq init fixes from me and others.

   - A fix for enter on a dying queue for blk-mq from Keith.  This is
     needed to prevent oopsing on hot device removal.

   - Fixup for blk-mq timer addition from Ming Lei.

cgroup: remove css_parent()

2014-05-16T17:22:48+00:00

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.

2014-04-03T20:05:42+00:00

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"

net: Replace u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh to u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq

2014-03-15T02:41:36+00:00

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.

We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.

Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

cgroup: remove cgroup->name

2014-02-12T14:29:50+00:00

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.

cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initialization

2014-02-08T15:36:58+00:00

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.

v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs
    classid handling into core").
