cgroup: introduce task_css_is_root()

2014-05-13T15:26:27+00:00

Determining the css of a task usually requires RCU read lock as that's
the only thing which keeps the returned css accessible till its
reference is acquired; however, testing whether a task belongs to the
root can be performed without dereferencing the returned css by
comparing the returned pointer against the root one in init_css_set[]
which never changes.

Implement task_css_is_root() which can be invoked in any context.
This will be used by the scheduled cgroup_freezer change.

v2: cgroup no longer supports modular controllers.  No need to export
    init_css_set.  Pointed out by Li.

cgroup: implement CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL

2014-03-19T14:23:55+00:00

This cftype flag makes the file only appear on the default hierarchy.
This will later be used for cgroup.controllers file.

cgroup: make cgrp_dfl_root mountable

2014-03-19T14:23:55+00:00

cgrp_dfl_root will be used as the default unified hierarchy.  This
patch makes cgrp_dfl_root mountable by making the following changes.

* cgroup_init_early() now initializes cgrp_dfl_root w/
  CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR.  The default hierarchy is always sane.

* parse_cgroupfs_options() and cgroup_mount() are updated such that
  cgrp_dfl_root is mounted if sane_behavior is specified w/o any
  subsystems.

* rebind_subsystems() now populates the root directory of
  cgrp_dfl_root.  Note that the function still guarantees success of
  rebinding subsystems to cgrp_dfl_root.  If populating fails while
  rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, it whines but ignores the error.

* For backward compatibility, the default hierarchy shows up in
  /proc/$PID/cgroup only after it's explicitly mounted so that
  userland which doesn't make use of it doesn't see any change.

* "current_css_set_cg_links" file of debug cgroup now treats the
  default hierarchy the same as other hierarchies.  This is visible to
  userland.  Given that it's for debug controller, this should be
  fine.

* While at it, implement cgroup_on_dfl() which tests whether a give
  cgroup is on the default hierarchy or not.

The above changes make cgrp_dfl_root mostly equivalent to other
controllers but the actual unified hierarchy behaviors are not
implemented yet.  Let's plug child cgroup creation in cgrp_dfl_root
from create_cgroup() for now.

cgroup: drop const from @buffer of cftype->write_string()

2014-03-19T14:23:54+00:00

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.

cgroup: rename cgroup_dummy_root and related names

2014-03-19T14:23:54+00:00

The dummy root will be repurposed to serve as the default unified
hierarchy.  Let's rename things in preparation.

* s/cgroup_dummy_root/cgrp_dfl_root/
* s/cgroupfs_root/cgroup_root/ as we don't do fs part directly anymore
* s/cgroup_root->top_cgroup/cgroup_root->cgrp/ for brevity

This is pure rename.

cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to cgroup

2014-03-19T14:23:54+00:00

cgroupfs_root->subsys_mask represents the controllers attached to the
hierarchy.  This patch moves the field to cgroup.  Subsystem
initialization and rebinding updates the top cgroup's subsys_mask.
For !root cgroups, the subsys_mask bits are set from create_css() and
cleared from kill_css(), which effectively means that all cgroups will
have the same subsys_mask as the top cgroup.

While this doesn't make any difference now, this will help
implementation of the default unified hierarchy where !root cgroups
may have subsets of the top_cgroup's subsys_mask.

While at it, __kill_css() is split out of kill_css().  The former
doesn't care about the subsys_mask while the latter becomes noop if
the controller is already killed and clears the matching bit if not
before proceeding to killing the css.  This will be used later by the
default unified hierarchy implementation.

cgroup: remove NULL checks from [pr_cont_]cgroup_{name|path}()

2014-03-19T14:23:54+00:00

The dummy hierarchy is now a fully functional one and dummy_top has a
kernfs_node associated with it.  Drop the NULL checks in
[pr_cont_]cont_{name|path}() which are no longer necessary.

cgroup: drop task_lock() protection around task->cgroups

2014-02-25T15:04:03+00:00

For optimization, task_lock() is additionally used to protect
task->cgroups.  The optimization is pretty dubious as either
css_set_rwsem is grabbed anyway or PF_EXITING already protects
task->cgroups.  It adds only overhead and confusion at this point.
Let's drop task_[un]lock() and update comments accordingly.

cgroup: split process / task migration into four steps

2014-02-25T15:04:03+00:00

Currently, process / task migration is a single operation which may
fail depending on memory pressure or the involved controllers'
->can_attach() callbacks.  One problem with this approach is migration
of multiple targets.  It's impossible to tell whether a given target
will be successfully migrated beforehand and cgroup core can't keep
track of enough states to roll back after intermediate failure.

This is already an issue with cgroup_transfer_tasks().  Also, we're
gonna need multiple target migration for unified hierarchy.

This patch splits migration into four stages -
cgroup_migrate_add_src(), cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst(),
cgroup_migrate() and cgroup_migrate_finish(), where
cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() performs all the operations which may
fail due to allocation failure without actually migrating the target.

The four separate stages mean that, disregarding ->can_attach()
failures, the success or failure of multi target migration can be
determined before performing any actual migration.  If preparations of
all targets succeed, the whole thing will succeed.  If not, the whole
operation can fail without any side-effect.

Since the previous patch to use css_set->mg_tasks to keep track of
migration targets, the only thing which may need memory allocation
during migration is the target css_sets.  cgroup_migrate_prepare()
pins all source and target css_sets and link them up.  Note that this
can be performed without holding threadgroup_lock even if the target
is a process.  As long as cgroup_mutex is held, no new css_set can be
put into play.
