2025-11-03cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done switching outTejun Heo1-0/+2
When a task exits, css_set_move_task(tsk, cset, NULL, false) unlinks the task from its cgroup. From the cgroup's perspective, the task is now gone. If this makes the cgroup empty, it can be removed, triggering ->css_offline() callbacks that notify controllers the cgroup is going offline resource-wise. However, the exiting task can still run, perform memory operations, and schedule until the final context switch in finish_task_switch(). This creates a confusing situation where controllers are told a cgroup is offline while resource activities are still happening in it. While this hasn't broken existing controllers, it has caused direct confusion for sched_ext schedulers. Split cgroup_task_exit() into two functions. cgroup_task_exit() now only calls the subsystem exit callbacks and continues to be called from do_exit(). The css_set cleanup is moved to the new cgroup_task_dead() which is called from finish_task_switch() after the final context switch, so that the cgroup only appears empty after the task is truly done running. This also reorders operations so that subsys->exit() is now called before unlinking from the cgroup, which shouldn't break anything.

2025-11-03cgroup: Rename cgroup lifecycle hooks to cgroup_task_*()Tejun Heo1-6/+6
The current names cgroup_exit(), cgroup_release(), and cgroup_free() are confusing because they look like they're operating on cgroups themselves when they're actually task lifecycle hooks. For example, cgroup_init() initializes the cgroup subsystem while cgroup_exit() is a task exit notification to cgroup. Rename them to cgroup_task_exit(), cgroup_task_release(), and cgroup_task_free() to make it clear that these operate on tasks.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace infrastructure of the kernel. Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so on. We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up. The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy. The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum() and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about. Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do for e.g., files. In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system call. Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the concept to all other namespace types. The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree works completely locklessly. This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct mnt_namespace itself. There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very useful. This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis. As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive, meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle. Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode the file handle. Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate /proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the namespace based on a pidfd already. It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any resources and to compare them trivially. Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant namespace. The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles" * tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (65 commits) ns: drop assert ns: move ns type into struct ns_common nstree: make struct ns_tree private ns: add ns_debug() ns: simplify ns_common_init() further cgroup: add missing ns_common include ns: use inode initializer for initial namespaces selftests/namespaces: verify initial namespace inode numbers ns: rename to __ns_ref nsfs: port to ns_ref_*() helpers net: port to ns_ref_*() helpers uts: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipv4: use check_net() net: use check_net() net-sysfs: use check_net() user: port to ns_ref_*() helpers time: port to ns_ref_*() helpers pid: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipc: port to ns_ref_*() helpers cgroup: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ...

2025-09-15bpf: Do not limit bpf_cgroup_from_id to current's namespaceKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+1
The bpf_cgroup_from_id kfunc relies on cgroup_get_from_id to obtain the cgroup corresponding to a given cgroup ID. This helper can be called in a lot of contexts where the current thread can be random. A recent example was its use in sched_ext's ops.tick(), to obtain the root cgroup pointer. Since the current task can be whatever random user space task preempted by the timer tick, this makes the behavior of the helper unreliable. Refactor out __cgroup_get_from_id as the non-namespace aware version of cgroup_get_from_id, and change bpf_cgroup_from_id to make use of it. There is no compatibility breakage here, since changing the namespace against which the lookup is being done to the root cgroup namespace only permits a wider set of lookups to succeed now. The cgroup IDs across namespaces are globally unique, and thus don't need to be retranslated.

2025-09-01copy_process: pass clone_flags as u64 across calltreeSimon Schuster1-2/+2
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

2025-08-13cpuset: remove redundant CS_ONLINE flagChen Ridong1-0/+5
The CS_ONLINE flag was introduced prior to the CSS_ONLINE flag in the cpuset subsystem. Currently, the flag setting sequence is as follows: 1. cpuset_css_online() sets CS_ONLINE 2. css->flags gets CSS_ONLINE set ... 3. cgroup->kill_css sets CSS_DYING 4. cpuset_css_offline() clears CS_ONLINE 5. css->flags clears CSS_ONLINE The is_cpuset_online() check currently occurs between steps 1 and 3. However, it would be equally safe to perform this check between steps 2 and 3, as CSS_ONLINE provides the same synchronization guarantee as CS_ONLINE. Since CS_ONLINE is redundant with CSS_ONLINE and provides no additional synchronization benefits, we can safely remove it to simplify the code.

Each HDD contains approximately 2 million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries after initialization To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1. Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache recovery completes To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100 of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache pressure control The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1, vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20 million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode restart performance degradation - Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely() - Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when descending into devcgroup_inode_permission() - Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput() - Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.

This non-functional change serves as preparation for moving to subsystem-based rstat trees. To simplify future commits, change the signatures of existing cgroup-based rstat functions to become css-based and rename them to reflect that. Though the signatures have changed, the implementations have not. Within these functions use the css->cgroup pointer to obtain the associated cgroup and allow code to function the same just as it did before this patch. At applicable call sites, pass the subsystem-specific css pointer as an argument or pass a pointer to cgroup::self if not in subsystem context. Note that cgroup_rstat_updated_list() and cgroup_rstat_push_children() are not altered yet since there would be a larger amount of css to cgroup conversions which may overcomplicate the code at this intermediate phase.

2025-04-01cgroup/cpuset: Fix race between newly created partition and dying oneWaiman Long1-1/+1
There is a possible race between removing a cgroup diectory that is a partition root and the creation of a new partition. The partition to be removed can be dying but still online, it doesn't not currently participate in checking for exclusive CPUs conflict, but the exclusive CPUs are still there in subpartitions_cpus and isolated_cpus. These two cpumasks are global states that affect the operation of cpuset partitions. The exclusive CPUs in dying cpusets will only be removed when cpuset_css_offline() function is called after an RCU delay. As a result, it is possible that a new partition can be created with exclusive CPUs that overlap with those of a dying one. When that dying partition is finally offlined, it removes those overlapping exclusive CPUs from subpartitions_cpus and maybe isolated_cpus resulting in an incorrect CPU configuration. This bug was found when a warning was triggered in remote_partition_disable() during testing because the subpartitions_cpus mask was empty. One possible way to fix this is to iterate the dying cpusets as well and avoid using the exclusive CPUs in those dying cpusets. However, this can still cause random partition creation failures or other anomalies due to racing. A better way to fix this race is to reset the partition state at the moment when a cpuset is being killed. Introduce a new css_killed() CSS function pointer and call it, if defined, before setting CSS_DYING flag in kill_css(). Also update the css_is_dying() helper to use the CSS_DYING flag introduced by commit 33c35aa48178 ("cgroup: Prevent kill_css() from being called more than once") for proper synchronization. Add a new cpuset_css_killed() function to reset the partition state of a valid partition root if it is being killed.

2025-03-20cgroup: rstat: Cleanup flushing functions and lockingYosry Ahmed1-2/+0
Now that the rstat lock is being re-acquired on every CPU iteration in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked(), having the initially acquire the lock is unnecessary and unclear. Inline cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() into cgroup_rstat_flush() and move the lock/unlock calls to the beginning and ending of the loop body to make the critical section obvious. cgroup_rstat_flush_hold/release() do not make much sense with the lock being dropped and reacquired internally. Since it has no external callers, remove it and explicitly acquire the lock in cgroup_base_stat_cputime_show() instead. This leaves the code with a single flushing function, cgroup_rstat_flush().

2024-09-01mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlersDavid Finkel1-0/+3
Patch series "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers", v7. This patch (of 2): Other mechanisms for querying the peak memory usage of either a process or v1 memory cgroup allow for resetting the high watermark. Restore parity with those mechanisms, but with a less racy API. For example: - Any write to memory.max_usage_in_bytes in a cgroup v1 mount resets the high watermark. - writing "5" to the clear_refs pseudo-file in a processes's proc directory resets the peak RSS. This change is an evolution of a previous patch, which mostly copied the cgroup v1 behavior, however, there were concerns about races/ownership issues with a global reset, so instead this change makes the reset filedescriptor-local. Writing any non-empty string to the memory.peak and memory.swap.peak pseudo-files reset the high watermark to the current usage for subsequent reads through that same FD. Notably, following Johannes's suggestion, this implementation moves the O(FDs that have written) behavior onto the FD write(2) path. Instead, on the page-allocation path, we simply add one additional watermark to conditionally bump per-hierarchy level in the page-counter. Additionally, this takes Longman's suggestion of nesting the page-charging-path checks for the two watermarks to reduce the number of common-case comparisons. This behavior is particularly useful for work scheduling systems that need to track memory usage of worker processes/cgroups per-work-item. Since memory can't be squeezed like CPU can (the OOM-killer has opinions), these systems need to track the peak memory usage to compute system/container fullness when binpacking workitems. Most notably, Vimeo's use-case involves a system that's doing global binpacking across many Kubernetes pods/containers, and while we can use PSI for some local decisions about overload, we strive to avoid packing workloads too tightly in the first place. To facilitate this, we track the peak memory usage. However, since we run with long-lived workers (to amortize startup costs) we need a way to track the high watermark while a work-item is executing. Polling runs the risk of missing short spikes that last for timescales below the polling interval, and peak memory tracking at the cgroup level is otherwise perfect for this use-case. As this data is used to ensure that binpacked work ends up with sufficient headroom, this use-case mostly avoids the inaccuracies surrounding reclaimable memory.

2024-06-18sched: Factor out cgroup weight conversion functionsTejun Heo1-2/+2
Factor out sched_weight_from/to_cgroup() which convert between scheduler shares and cgroup weight. No functional change. The factored out functions will be used by a new BPF extensible sched_class so that the weights can be exposed to the BPF programs in a way which is consistent cgroup weights and easier to interpret. The weight conversions will be used regardless of cgroup usage. It's just borrowing the cgroup weight range as it's more intuitive. CGROUP_WEIGHT_MIN/DFL/MAX constants are moved outside CONFIG_CGROUPS so that the conversion helpers can always be defined. v2: The helpers are now defined regardless of COFNIG_CGROUPS.

2024-04-16cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_lock helpers and tracepointsJesper Dangaard Brouer1-1/+1
This commit enhances the ability to troubleshoot the global cgroup_rstat_lock by introducing wrapper helper functions for the lock along with associated tracepoints. Although global, the cgroup_rstat_lock helper APIs and tracepoints take arguments such as cgroup pointer and cpu_in_loop variable. This adjustment is made because flushing occurs per cgroup despite the lock being global. Hence, when troubleshooting, it's important to identify the relevant cgroup. The cpu_in_loop variable is necessary because the global lock may be released within the main flushing loop that traverses CPUs. In the tracepoints, the cpu_in_loop value is set to -1 when acquiring the main lock; otherwise, it denotes the CPU number processed last. The new feature in this patchset is detecting when lock is contended. The tracepoints are implemented with production in mind. For minimum overhead attach to cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended, which only gets activated when trylock detects lock is contended. A quick production check for issues could be done via this perf commands: perf record -g -e cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended Next natural question would be asking how long time do lock contenders wait for obtaining the lock. This can be answered by measuring the time between cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended and cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked when args->contended is set. Like this bpftrace script: bpftrace -e ' tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended {@start[tid]=nsecs} tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked { if (args->contended) { @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}} interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S "); print(@wait_ns); }' Extending with time spend holding the lock will be more expensive as this also looks at all the non-contended cases. Like this bpftrace script: bpftrace -e ' tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended {@start[tid]=nsecs} tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked { @locked[tid]=nsecs; if (args->contended) { @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}} tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_unlock { @locked_ns=hist(nsecs-@locked[tid]); delete(@locked[tid]);} interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S "); print(@wait_ns);print(@locked_ns); }' Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

A new helper is added for cgroup1 hierarchy: - task_get_cgroup1 Acquires the associated cgroup of a task within a specific cgroup1 hierarchy. The cgroup1 hierarchy is identified by its hierarchy ID. This helper function is added to facilitate the tracing of tasks within a particular container or cgroup dir in BPF programs.

2023-10-19cgroup: Prepare for using css_task_iter_*() in BPFChuyi Zhou1-7/+5
This patch makes some preparations for using css_task_iter_*() in BPF Program. 1. Flags CSS_TASK_ITER_* are #define-s and it's not easy for bpf prog to use them. Convert them to enum so bpf prog can take them from vmlinux.h. 2. In the next patch we will add css_task_iter_*() in common kfuncs which is not safe. Since css_task_iter_*() does spin_unlock_irq() which might screw up irq flags depending on the context where bpf prog is running. So we should use irqsave/irqrestore here and the switching is harmless.
