Until now, cgroup->id has been used to identify all the associated csses and css_from_id() takes cgroup ID and returns the matching css by looking up the cgroup and then dereferencing the css associated with it; however, now that the lifetimes of cgroup and css are separate, this is incorrect and breaks on the unified hierarchy when a controller is disabled and enabled back again before the previous instance is released. This patch adds css->id which is a subsystem-unique ID and converts css_from_id() to look up by the new css->id instead. memcg is the only user of css_from_id() and also converted to use css->id instead. For traditional hierarchies, this shouldn't make any functional difference.

init_css() takes the cgroup the new css belongs to as an argument and initializes the new css's ->cgroup and ->parent pointers but doesn't acquire the matching reference counts. After the previous patch, create_css() puts init_css() and reference acquisition right next to each other. Let's move reference acquistion into init_css() and rename the function to init_and_link_css(). This makes sense and is easier to follow. This makes the root csses to hold a reference on cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp, which is harmless. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

Currently, when create_css() fails in the middle, the half-initialized css is freed by invoking cgroup_subsys->css_free() directly. This patch updates the function so that it invokes RCU free path instead. As the RCU free path puts the parent css and owning cgroup, their references are now acquired right after a new css is successfully allocated. This doesn't make any visible difference now but is to enable implementing css->id and RCU protected lookup by such IDs.

Currently, cgroup_root->cgroup_idr is protected by cgroup_mutex, which ends up requiring cgroup_put() to be invoked under sleepable context. This is okay for now but is an unusual requirement and we'll soon add css->id which will have the same problem but won't be able to simply grab cgroup_mutex as removal will have to happen from css_release() which can't sleep. Introduce cgroup_idr_lock and idr_alloc/replace/remove() wrappers which protects the idr operations with the lock and use them for cgroup_root->cgroup_idr. cgroup_put() no longer needs to grab cgroup_mutex and css_from_id() is updated to always require RCU read lock instead of either RCU read lock or cgroup_mutex, which doesn't affect the existing users.

Currently, cgroup->id is allocated from 0, which is always assigned to the root cgroup; unfortunately, memcg wants to use ID 0 to indicate invalid IDs and ends up incrementing all IDs by one. It's reasonable to reserve 0 for special purposes. This patch updates cgroup core so that ID 0 is not used and the root cgroups get ID 1. The ID incrementing is removed form memcg.

cgroup users often need a way to determine when a cgroup's subhierarchy becomes empty so that it can be cleaned up. cgroup currently provides release_agent for it; unfortunately, this mechanism is riddled with issues. * It delivers events by forking and execing a userland binary specified as the release_agent. This is a long deprecated method of notification delivery. It's extremely heavy, slow and cumbersome to integrate with larger infrastructure. * There is single monitoring point at the root. There's no way to delegate management of a subtree. * The event isn't recursive. It triggers when a cgroup doesn't have any tasks or child cgroups. Events for internal nodes trigger only after all children are removed. This again makes it impossible to delegate management of a subtree. * Events are filtered from the kernel side. "notify_on_release" file is used to subscribe to or suppress release event. This is unnecessarily complicated and probably done this way because event delivery itself was expensive. This patch implements interface file "cgroup.populated" which can be used to monitor whether the cgroup's subhierarchy has tasks in it or not. Its value is 0 if there is no task in the cgroup and its descendants; otherwise, 1, and kernfs_notify() notificaiton is triggers when the value changes, which can be monitored through poll and [di]notify. This is a lot ligther and simpler and trivially allows delegating management of subhierarchy - subhierarchy monitoring can block further propgation simply by putting itself or another process in the root of the subhierarchy and monitor events that it's interested in from there without interfering with monitoring higher in the tree. v2: Patch description updated as per Serge. v3: "cgroup.subtree_populated" renamed to "cgroup.populated". The subtree_ prefix was a bit confusing because "cgroup.subtree_control" uses it to denote the tree rooted at the cgroup sans the cgroup itself while the populated state includes the cgroup itself.

kernfs_notify() is used to indicate either new data is available or the content of a file has changed. It currently only triggers poll which may not be the most convenient to monitor especially when there are a lot to monitor. Let's hook it up to fsnotify too so that the events can be monitored via inotify too. fsnotify_modify() requires file * but kernfs_notify() doesn't have any specific file associated; however, we can walk all super_blocks associated with a kernfs_root and as kernfs always associate one ino with inode and one dentry with an inode, it's trivial to look up the dentry associated with a given kernfs_node. As any active monitor would pin dentry, just looking up existing dentry is enough. This patch looks up the dentry associated with the specified kernfs_node and generates events equivalent to fsnotify_modify(). Note that as fsnotify doesn't provide fsnotify_modify() equivalent which can be called with dentry, kernfs_notify() directly calls fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify(). It might be better to add a wrapper in fsnotify.h instead.

cgroup is switching away from multiple hierarchies and will use one unified default hierarchy where controllers can be dynamically enabled and disabled per subtree. The default hierarchy will serve as the unified hierarchy to which all controllers are attached and a css on the default hierarchy would need to also serve the tasks of descendant cgroups which don't have the controller enabled - ie. the tree may be collapsed from leaf towards root when viewed from specific controllers. This has been implemented through effective css in the previous patches. This patch finally implements dynamic subtree controller enable/disable on the default hierarchy via a new knob - "cgroup.subtree_control" which controls which controllers are enabled on the child cgroups. Let's assume a hierarchy like the following. root - A - B - C \ D root's "cgroup.subtree_control" determines which controllers are enabled on A. A's on B. B's on C and D. This coincides with the fact that controllers on the immediate sub-level are used to distribute the resources of the parent. In fact, it's natural to assume that resource control knobs of a child belong to its parent. Enabling a controller in "cgroup.subtree_control" declares that distribution of the respective resources of the cgroup will be controlled. Note that this means that controller enable states are shared among siblings. The default hierarchy has an extra restriction - only cgroups which don't contain any task may have controllers enabled in "cgroup.subtree_control". Combined with the other properties of the default hierarchy, this guarantees that, from the view point of controllers, tasks are only on the leaf cgroups. In other words, only leaf csses may contain tasks. This rules out situations where child cgroups compete against internal tasks of the parent, which is a competition between two different types of entities without any clear way to determine resource distribution between the two. Different controllers handle it differently and all the implemented behaviors are ambiguous, ad-hoc, cumbersome and/or just wrong. Having this structural constraints imposed from cgroup core removes the burden from controller implementations and enables showing one consistent behavior across all controllers. When a controller is enabled or disabled, css associations for the controller in the subtrees of each child should be updated. After enabling, the whole subtree of a child should point to the new css of the child. After disabling, the whole subtree of a child should point to the cgroup's css. This is implemented by first updating cgroup states such that cgroup_e_css() result points to the appropriate css and then invoking cgroup_update_dfl_csses() which migrates all tasks in the affected subtrees to the self cgroup on the default hierarchy. * When read, "cgroup.subtree_control" lists all the currently enabled controllers on the children of the cgroup. * White-space separated list of controller names prefixed with either '+' or '-' can be written to "cgroup.subtree_control". The ones prefixed with '+' are enabled on the controller and '-' disabled. * A controller can be enabled iff the parent's "cgroup.subtree_control" enables it and disabled iff no child's "cgroup.subtree_control" has it enabled. * If a cgroup has tasks, no controller can be enabled via "cgroup.subtree_control". Likewise, if "cgroup.subtree_control" has some controllers enabled, tasks can't be migrated into the cgroup. * All controllers which aren't bound on other hierarchies are automatically associated with the root cgroup of the default hierarchy. All the controllers which are bound to the default hierarchy are listed in the read-only file "cgroup.controllers" in the root directory. * "cgroup.controllers" in all non-root cgroups is read-only file whose content is equal to that of "cgroup.subtree_control" of the parent. This indicates which controllers can be used in the cgroup's "cgroup.subtree_control". This is still experimental and there are some holes, one of which is that ->can_attach() failure during cgroup_update_dfl_csses() may leave the cgroups in an undefined state. The issues will be addressed by future patches. v2: Non-root cgroups now also have "cgroup.controllers". Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

Unified hierarchy implementation would require re-migrating tasks onto the same cgroup on the default hierarchy to reflect updated effective csses. Update cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() so that it accepts NULL as the destination cgrp. When NULL is specified, the destination is considered to be the cgroup on the default hierarchy associated with each css_set. After this change, the identity check in cgroup_migrate_add_src() isn't sufficient for noop detection as the associated csses may change without any cgroup association changing. The only way to tell whether a migration is noop or not is testing whether the source and destination csets are identical. The noop check in cgroup_migrate_add_src() is removed and cset identity test is added to cgroup_migreate_prepare_dst(). If it's detected that source and destination csets are identical, the cset is removed removed from @preloaded_csets and all the migration nodes are cleared which makes cgroup_migrate() ignore the cset. Also, make the function append the destination css_sets to @preloaded_list so that destination css_sets always come after source css_sets.

Because the default root couldn't have any non-root csses attached to it, rebinding away from it was always allowed; however, the default hierarchy will soon host the unified hierarchy and have non-root csses so the rebind restrictions need to be updated accordingly. Instead of special casing rebinding from the default hierarchy and then checking whether the source hierarchy has children cgroups, which implies non-root csses for !dfl hierarchies, simply check whether the source hierarchy has non-root csses for the subsystem using css_next_child().

After a css finishes offlining, offline_css() mistakenly performs RCU_INIT_POINTER(css->cgroup->subsys[ss->id], css) which just sets the cgroup->subsys[] pointer to the current value. The intention was to clear it after offline is complete, not reassign the same value. Update it to assign NULL instead of the current value. This makes cgroup_css() to return NULL once offline is complete. All the existing users of the function either can handle NULL return already or guarantee that the css doesn't get offlined. While this is a bugfix, as css lifetime is currently tied to the cgroup it belongs to, this bug doesn't cause any actual problems.

Currently, css_task_iter iterates tasks associated with a css by visiting each css_set associated with the owning cgroup and walking tasks of each of them. This works fine for !unified hierarchies as each cgroup has its own css for each associated subsystem on the hierarchy; however, on the planned unified hierarchy, a cgroup may not have csses associated and its tasks would be considered associated with the matching css of the nearest ancestor which has the subsystem enabled. This means that on the default unified hierarchy, just walking all tasks associated with a cgroup isn't enough to walk all tasks which are associated with the specified css. If any of its children doesn't have the matching css enabled, task iteration should also include all tasks from the subtree. We already added cgroup->e_csets[] to list all css_sets effectively associated with a given css and walk css_sets on that list instead to achieve such iteration. This patch updates css_task_iter iteration such that it walks css_sets on cgroup->e_csets[] instead of cgroup->cset_links if iteration is requested on an non-dummy css. Thanks to the previous iteration update, this change can be achieved with the addition of css_task_iter->ss and minimal updates to css_advance_task_iter() and css_task_iter_start().

This patch reorganizes css_task_iter so that adding effective css support is easier. * s/->cset_link/->cset_pos/ and s/->task/->task_pos/ for consistency * ->origin_css is used to determine whether the iteration reached the last css_set. Replace it with explicit ->cset_head so that css_advance_task_iter() doesn't have to know the termination condition directly. * css_task_iter_next() currently assumes that it's walking list of cgrp_cset_link and reaches into the current cset through the current link to determine the termination conditions for task walking. As this won't always be true for effective css walking, add ->tasks_head and ->mg_tasks_head and use them to control task walking so that css_task_iter_next() doesn't have to know how css_sets are being walked. This patch doesn't make any behavior changes. The iteration logic stays unchanged after the patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

On the default unified hierarchy, a cgroup may be associated with csses of its ancestors, which means that a css of a given cgroup may be associated with css_sets of descendant cgroups. This means that we can't walk all tasks associated with a css by iterating the css_sets associated with the cgroup as there are css_sets which are pointing to the css but linked on the descendants. This patch adds per-subsystem list heads cgroup->e_csets[]. Any css_set which is pointing to a css is linked to css->cgroup->e_csets[$SUBSYS_ID] through css_set->e_cset_node[$SUBSYS_ID]. The lists are protected by css_set_rwsem and will allow us to walk all css_sets associated with a given css so that we can find out all associated tasks.

In the planned default unified hierarchy, controllers may get dynamically attached to and detached from a cgroup and a cgroup may not have csses for all the controllers associated with the hierarchy. When a cgroup doesn't have its own css for a given controller, the css of the nearest ancestor with the controller enabled will be used, which is called the effective css. This patch introduces cgroup_e_css() and for_each_e_css() to access the effective csses and convert compare_css_sets(), find_existing_css_set() and cgroup_migrate() to use the effective csses so that they can handle cgroups with partial csses correctly. This means that for two css_sets to be considered identical, they should have both matching csses and cgroups. compare_css_sets() already compares both, not for correctness but for optimization. As this now becomes a matter of correctness, update the comments accordingly. For all !default hierarchies, cgroup_e_css() always equals cgroup_css(), so this patch doesn't change behavior. While at it, fix incorrect locking comment for for_each_css(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

This patch proposes to replace this error message by "Perf session creation failed" I believe this issue has been brought to lkml: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458 although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue. Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write. Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it.

Example: # perf kvm stat report Analyze events for all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time [..] 0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% ) 0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% ) 0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 0us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% ) 0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 0us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% ) [..] This happens because the 'stats' structure is not initialized and stats->min equals to 0. Lets initialize the structure for every event after its allocation using init_stats() function. This initializes stats->min to -1 and makes 'Min time' statistics counting work: # perf kvm stat report Analyze events for all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time [..] 0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 6us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% ) 0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 7us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% ) 0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 1us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% ) 0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 1us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% ) [..] Signed-off-by: Alexander Yarygin <yarygin@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1397053319-2130-3-git-send-email-borntraeger@de.ibm.com [ Fixing the perf examples changelog output ] Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>
