As pointed out by Cedric Le Goater (in response to Alexey's original comment wrt mqns), ipc_sysctl.c and utsname_sysctl.c are using CONFIG_PROC_FS, not CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, to determine whether to define the proc_handlers. Change that. Signed-off-by:

shm_get_stat() assumes idr_find(&shm_ids(ns).ipcs_idr) returns "struct shmid_kernel *"; all other callers assume that it returns "struct kern_ipc_perm *". This works because "struct kern_ipc_perm" is currently the first member of "struct shmid_kernel", but it would be better to use container_of() to prevent future breakage. Signed-off-by:

1) lockdep will complain when run_workqueue() performs recursion. 2) The recursive implementation of run_workqueue() means that flush_workqueue() and its documentation are inconsistent. This may hide deadlocks and other bugs. 3) The recursion in run_workqueue() will poison cwq->current_work, but flush_work() and __cancel_work_timer(), etcetera need a reliable cwq->current_work.

This bug is ancient too. ptrace_untrace() must not resume the task if the group stop in progress, we should set TASK_STOPPED instead. Unfortunately, we still have problems here: - if the process/thread was traced, SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED does not necessary means this thread group is stopped. - ptrace breaks the bookkeeping of ->group_stop_count.

Another ancient bug. Consider this trivial test-case, int main(void) { int pid = fork(); if (pid) { ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL); wait(NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, NULL, NULL); } else { pause(); printf("WE HAVE A KERNEL BUG!!!\n"); } return 0; } the child must not "escape" for sys_pause(), but it can and this was seen in practice. This is because ptrace_detach does: if (!child->exit_state) wake_up_process(child); this wakeup can happen after this child has already restarted sys_pause(), because it gets another wakeup from ptrace_untrace(). With or without this patch, perhaps sys_pause() needs a fix. But this wakeup also breaks the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED logic in ptrace_untrace(). Remove this wakeup. The caller saw this task in TASK_TRACED state, and unless it was SIGKILL'ed in between __ptrace_unlink()->ptrace_untrace() should handle this case correctly. If it was SIGKILL'ed, we don't need to wakup the dying tracee too. Signed-off-by:Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

By discussion with Roland. - Use ->sibling instead of ->ptrace_entry to chain the need to be release_task'd childs. Nobody else can use ->sibling, this task is EXIT_DEAD and nobody can find it on its own list. - rename ptrace_dead to dead_childs. - Now that we don't have the "parallel" untrace code, change back reparent_thread() to return void, pass dead_childs as an argument. Actually, I don't understand why do we notify /sbin/init when we reparent a zombie, probably it is better to reap it unconditionally. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/childs/children/] Signed-off-by:

If /sbin/init ignores SIGCHLD and we re-parent a zombie, it is leaked. reparent_thread() does do_notify_parent() which sets ->exit_signal = -1 in this case. This means that nobody except us can reap it, the detached task is not visible to do_wait(). Change reparent_thread() to return a boolean (like __pthread_detach) to indicate that the thread is dead and must be released. Also change forget_original_parent() to add the child to ptrace_dead list in this case. The naming becomes insane, the next patch does the cleanup. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
reparent_thread() uses ptrace_reparented() to check whether this thread is ptraced, in that case we should not notify the new parent. But ptrace_reparented() is not exactly correct when the reparented thread is traced by /sbin/init, because forget_original_parent() has already changed ->real_parent. Currently, the only problem is the false notification. But with the next patch the kernel crash in this (yes, pathological) case. Signed-off-by:

If task_detached(p) == T, then either a) p is not the main thread, we will find the group leader on the ->children list. or b) p is the group leader but its ->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD. This can only happen when the last sub-thread has died, but in that case that thread has already called kill_orphaned_pgrp() from exit_notify(). In both cases kill_orphaned_pgrp() looks bogus. Move the task_detached() check up and simplify the code, this is also right from the "common sense" pov: we should do nothing with the detached childs, except move them to the new parent's ->children list.

When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed. If it has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because a) ptracing disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent was not notified about the child's death. ptrace_detach() should follow the ptrace_exit's logic, change the code accordingly.

Oleg Nesterov authored
ignoring_children() takes parent->sighand->siglock and checks k_sigaction[SIGCHLD] atomically. But this buys nothing, we can't get the "really" wrong result even if we race with sigaction(SIGCHLD). If we read the "stale" sa_handler/sa_flags we can pretend it was changed right after the check. Remove spin_lock(->siglock), and kill "int ign" which caches the result of ignoring_children() which becomes rather trivial. Perhaps it makes sense to export this helper, do_notify_parent() can use it too. Signed-off-by:

Move the code from __ptrace_detach() to its single caller and kill this helper. Also, fix the ->exit_state check, we shouldn't wake up EXIT_DEAD tasks. Actually, I think task_is_stopped_or_traced() makes more sense, but this needs another patch. Signed-off-by:

When sending a signal to a descendant namespace, set ->si_pid to 0 since the sender does not have a pid in the receiver's namespace. Note: - If rt_sigqueueinfo() sets si_code to SI_USER when sending a signal across a pid namespace boundary, the value in ->si_pid will be cleared to 0. Signed-off-by:

Normally SIG_DFL signals to global and container-init are dropped early. But if a signal is blocked when it is posted, we cannot drop the signal since the receiver may install a handler before unblocking the signal. Once this signal is queued however, the receiver container-init has no way of knowing if the signal was sent from an ancestor or descendant namespace. This patch ensures that contianer-init drops all SIG_DFL signals in get_signal_to_deliver() except SIGKILL/SIGSTOP. If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from a descendant of container-init they are never queued (i.e dropped in sig_ignored() in an earler patch). If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from parent namespace, the signal is queued and container-init processes the signal. IOW, if get_signal_to_deliver() sees a sig_kernel_only() signal for global or container-init, the signal must have been generated internally or must have come from an ancestor ns and we process the signal. Further, the signal_group_exit() check was needed to cover the case of a multi-threaded init sending SIGKILL to other threads when doing an exit() or exec(). But since the new sig_kernel_only() check covers the SIGKILL, the signal_group_exit() check is no longer needed and can be removed. Finally, now that we have all pieces in place, set SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE for container-inits. Signed-off-by:

send_signal() assumes that signals with SEND_SIG_PRIV are generated from within the same namespace. So any nested container-init processes become immune to the SIGKILL generated by kill_proc_info() in zap_pid_ns_processes(). Use force_sig() in zap_pid_ns_processes() instead - force_sig() clears the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag ensuring the signal is processed by container-inits. Signed-off-by:

Drop early any SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN signals to container-init from within the same container. But queue SIGSTOP and SIGKILL to the container-init if they are from an ancestor container. Blocked, fatal signals (i.e when SIG_DFL is to terminate) from within the container can still terminate the container-init. That will be addressed in the next patch. Note: To be bisect-safe, SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will be set for container-inits in a follow-on patch. Until then, this patch is just a preparatory step. Signed-off-by:

send_signal() (or its helper) needs to determine the pid namespace of the sender. But a signal sent via kill_pid_info_as_uid() comes from within the kernel and send_signal() does not need to determine the pid namespace of the sender. So define a helper for send_signal() which takes an additional parameter, 'from_ancestor_ns' and have kill_pid_info_as_uid() use that helper directly. The 'from_ancestor_ns' parameter will be used in a follow-on patch. Signed-off-by:

(This is a modified version of the patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/18/249 and tries to address comments that came up in that discussion) init ignores the SIG_DFL signals but we queue them anyway, including SIGKILL. This is mostly OK, the signal will be dropped silently when dequeued, but the pending SIGKILL has 2 bad implications: - it implies fatal_signal_pending(), so we confuse things like wait_for_completion_killable/lock_page_killable. - for the sub-namespace inits, the pending SIGKILL can mask (legacy_queue) the subsequent SIGKILL from the parent namespace which must kill cinit reliably. (preparation, cinits don't have SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE yet) The patch can't help when init is ptraced, but ptracing of init is not "safe" anyway. Signed-off-by:

Container-init must behave like global-init to processes within the container and hence it must be immune to unhandled fatal signals from within the container (i.e SIG_DFL signals that terminate the process). But the same container-init must behave like a normal process to processes in ancestor namespaces and so if it receives the same fatal signal from a process in ancestor namespace, the signal must be processed. Implementing these semantics requires that send_signal() determine pid namespace of the sender but since signals can originate from workqueues/ interrupt-handlers, determining pid namespace of sender may not always be possible or safe. This patchset implements the design/simplified semantics suggested by Oleg Nesterov. The simplified semantics for container-init are: - container-init must never be terminated by a signal from a descendant process. - container-init must never be immune to SIGKILL from an ancestor namespace (so a process in parent namespace must always be able to terminate a descendant container). - container-init may be immune to unhandled fatal signals (like SIGUSR1) even if they are from ancestor namespace. SIGKILL/SIGSTOP are the only reliable signals to a container-init from ancestor namespace. This patch: Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments from Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258). The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions. Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the functions can check the handler if they later need to. Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on patch. Signed-off-by:

do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is not true if the leader is already dead. Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead and use signal->group_exit_code. Trivial test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { pause(); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t thr; pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL); pthread_exit(NULL); return 0; } It doesn't react to ^Z (and then to ^C or ^\). The task is stopped, but bash can't see this. The bug is very old, and it was reported multiple times. This patch was sent more than a year ago (http://marc.info/?t=119713920000003) but it was ignored. This change also fixes other oddities (but not all) in this area. For example, before this patch: $ sleep 100 ^Z [1]+ Stopped sleep 100 $ strace -p `pidof sleep` Process 11442 attached - interrupt to quit strace hangs in do_wait(), because ->exit_code was already consumed by bash. After this patch, strace happily proceeds: --- SIGTSTP (Stopped) @ 0 (0) --- restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...> To me, this looks much more "natural" and correct. Another example. Let's suppose we have the main thread M and sub-thread T, the process is stopped, and its parent did wait(WSTOPPED). Now we can ptrace T but not M. This looks at least strange to me. Imho, do_wait() should not confuse the per-thread ptrace stops with the per-process job control stops. Signed-off-by: -

Kthreads that have the PF_THREAD_BOUND bit set in their flags are bound to a specific cpu. Thus, their set of allowed cpus shall not change. This patch prevents such threads from attaching to non-root cpusets. They do not have mempolicies that restrict them to a subset of system nodes and, since their cpumask may never change, they cannot use any of the features of cpusets. The tasks will forever be a member of the root cpuset and will be returned when listing the tasks attached to that cpuset.

Allow cpusets to be configured/built on non-SMP systems Currently it's impossible to build cpusets under UML on x86-64, since cpusets depends on SMP and x86-64 UML doesn't support SMP. There's code in cpusets that doesn't depend on SMP. This patch surrounds the minimum amount of cpusets code with #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in order to allow cpusets to build/run on UP systems (for testing purposes under UML). Reviewed-by:

When writing to cpuset.mems, cpuset has to update its mems_allowed before calling update_tasks_nodemask(), but this function might return -ENOMEM. To avoid this rare case, we allocate the memory before changing mems_allowed, and then pass to update_tasks_nodemask(). Similar to what update_cpumask() does. Signed-off-by:

This patch uses cgroup_scan_tasks() to rebind tasks' vmas to new cpuset's mems_allowed. Not only simplify the code largely, but also avoid allocating an array to hold mm pointers of all the tasks in the cpuset. This array can be big (size > PAGESIZE) if we have lots of tasks in that cpuset, thus has a chance to fail the allocation when under memory stress. Signed-off-by:

Because * It can be calculated very easily if all necessary information is written in Kconfig. * It's not necessary to annoying people at every swapon().

Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup. By this, on 64bit machine, size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes. This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes) From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes. To size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes. Reduction is large. Of course, there are trade-offs. This CSS ID will add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free. But in general, - swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use. - If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used. - Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now. I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense. Note: - ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side. - memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from swap_cgroup is available.

In case of (D), mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache() returns NULL (because lookup_swap_cgroup() returns NULL), so "+1/+1" at (3) means charges to the memcg("foo") to which the "current" belongs. OTOH, "-1/0" at (4) and "0/-1" at (6) means uncharges from the memcg("baa") to which the page has been charged. So, if the "foo" and "baa" is different(for example because of task move), this charge will be moved from "baa" to "foo". I think this is an unexpected behavior. This patch fixes this by modifying mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache() to return the memcg to which the swapcache has been charged if PCG_USED bit is set. IIUC, checking PCG_USED bit of swapcache is safe under page lock. Signed-off-by: -

This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy. Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to kill a task in memcg. But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot be killed. For example, in following cgroup /groupA/ hierarchy=1, limit=1G, 01 nolimit 02 nolimit All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA. This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated.
