      cgroup: skip refcnting on normal root csses and cgrp_dfl_root self css · 3b514d24
      Tejun Heo authored
      9395a450 ("cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses") enabled
      reference counting for root csses (cgroup_subsys_states) so that
      cgroup's self csses can be used to manage the lifetime of the
      containing cgroups.
      
      Unfortunately, this change was incorrect.  During early init,
      cgrp_dfl_root self css refcnt is used.  percpu_ref can't initialized
      during early init and its initialization is deferred till
      cgroup_init() time.  This means that cpu was using percpu_ref which
      wasn't properly initialized.  Due to the way percpu variables are laid
      out on x86, this didn't blow up immediately on x86 but ended up
      incrementing and decrementing the percpu variable at offset zero,
      whatever it may be; however, on other archs, this caused fault and
      early boot failure.
      
      As cgroup self csses for root cgroups of non-dfl hierarchies need
      working refcounting, we can't revert 9395a450.  This patch adds
      CSS_NO_REF which explicitly inhibits reference counting on the css and
      sets it on all normal (non-self) csses and cgroup_dfl_root self css.
      
      v2: cgrp_dfl_root.self is the offending one.  Set the flag on it.

      cgroup: use cgroup->self.refcnt for cgroup refcnting · 9d755d33
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently cgroup implements refcnting separately using atomic_t
      cgroup->refcnt.  The destruction paths of cgroup and css are rather
      complex and bear a lot of similiarities including the use of RCU and
      bouncing to a work item.
      
      This patch makes cgroup use the refcnt of self css for refcnting
      instead of using its own.  This makes cgroup refcnting use css's
      percpu refcnt and share the destruction mechanism.
      
      * css_release_work_fn() and css_free_work_fn() are updated to handle
        both csses and cgroups.  This is a bit messy but should do until we
        can make cgroup->self a full css, which currently can't be done
        thanks to multiple hierarchies.
      
      * cgroup_destroy_locked() now performs
        percpu_ref_kill(&cgrp->self.refcnt) instead of cgroup_put(cgrp).
      
      * Negative refcnt sanity check in cgroup_get() is no longer necessary
        as percpu_ref already handles it.
      
      * Similarly, as a cgroup which hasn't been killed will never be
        released regardless of its refcnt value and percpu_ref has sanity
        check on kill, cgroup_is_dead() sanity check in cgroup_put() is no
        longer necessary.
      
      * As whether a refcnt reached zero or not can only be decided after
        the reference count is killed, cgroup_root->cgrp's refcnting can no
        longer be used to decide whether to kill the root or not.  Let's
        make cgroup_kill_sb() explicitly initiate destruction if the root
        doesn't have any children.  This makes sense anyway as unmounted
        cgroup hierarchy without any children should be destroyed.
      
      While this is a bit messy, this will allow pushing more bookkeeping
      towards cgroup->self and thus handling cgroups and csses in more
      uniform way.  In the very long term, it should be possible to
      introduce a base subsystem and convert the self css to a proper one
      making things whole lot simpler and unified.

      cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses · 9395a450
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, css_get(), css_tryget() and css_tryget_online() are noops
      for root csses as an optimization; however, we're planning to use css
      refcnts to track of cgroup lifetime too and root cgroups also need to
      be reference counted.  Since css has been converted to percpu_refcnt,
      the overhead of refcnting is miniscule and this optimization isn't too
      meaningful anymore.  Furthermore, controllers which optimize the root
      cgroup often never even invoke these functions in their hot paths.
      
      This patch enables refcnting for root csses too.  This makes CSS_ROOT
      flag unused and removes it.

      cgroup: move cgroup->sibling unlinking to cgroup_put() · 4e4e2847
      Tejun Heo authored
      Move cgroup->sibling unlinking from cgroup_destroy_css_killed() to
      cgroup_put().  This is later but still before the RCU grace period, so
      it doesn't break css_next_child() although there now is a larger
      window in which a dead cgroup is visible during css iteration.  As css
      iteration always could have included offline csses, this doesn't
      affect correctness; however, it does make css_next_child() fall back
      to reiterting mode more often.  This also makes cgroup_put() directly
      take cgroup_mutex, which limits where it can be called from.  These
      are not immediately problematic and will be dealt with later.
      
      This change enables simplification of cgroup destruction path.

      cgroup: move check_for_release(parent) call to the end of cgroup_destroy_locked() · 9e4173e1
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently, check_for_release() on the parent of a destroyed cgroup is
      invoked from cgroup_destroy_css_killed().  This is because this is
      where the destroyed cgroup can be removed from the parent's children
      list.  check_for_release() tests the emptiness of the list directly,
      so invoking it before removing the cgroup from the list makes it think
      that the parent still has children even when it no longer does.
      
      This patch updates check_for_release() to use
      cgroup_has_live_children() instead of directly testing ->children
      emptiness and moves check_for_release(parent) earlier to the end of
      cgroup_destroy_locked().  As cgroup_has_live_children() ignores
      cgroups marked DEAD, check_for_release() functions correctly as long
      as it's called after asserting DEAD.
      
      This makes release notification slightly more timely and more
      importantly enables further simplification of cgroup destruction path.

      cgroup: use restart_syscall() for mount retries · a015edd2
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_mount() uses dumb delay-and-retry logic to wait for cgroup_root
      which is being destroyed.  The retry currently loops inside
      cgroup_mount() proper.  This patch makes it return with
      restart_syscall() instead so that retry travels out to userland
      boundary.
      
      This slightly simplifies the logic and more importantly makes the
      retry logic behave better when the wait for some reason becomes
      lengthy or infinite by allowing the operation to be suspended or
      terminated from userland.

      cgroup: remove cgroup_tree_mutex · 8353da1f
      Tejun Heo authored
      cgroup_tree_mutex was introduced to work around the circular
      dependency between cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection - some
      kernfs file and directory operations needed cgroup_mutex putting
      cgroup_mutex under active protection but cgroup also needs to be able
      to access cgroup hierarchies and cftypes to determine which
      kernfs_nodes need to be removed.  cgroup_tree_mutex nested above both
      cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection and used to protect the
      hierarchy and cftypes.  While this worked, it added a lot of double
      lockings and was generally cumbersome.
      
      kernfs provides a mechanism to opt out of active protection and cgroup
      was already using it for removal and subtree_control.  There's no
      reason to mix both methods of avoiding circular locking dependency and
      the preceding cgroup_kn_lock_live() changes applied it to all relevant
      cgroup kernfs operations making it unnecessary to nest cgroup_mutex
      under kernfs active protection.  The previous patch reversed the
      original lock ordering and put cgroup_mutex above kernfs active
      protection.
      
      After these changes, all cgroup_tree_mutex usages are now accompanied
      by cgroup_mutex making the former completely redundant.  This patch
      removes cgroup_tree_mutex and all its usages.

      cgroup: nest kernfs active protection under cgroup_mutex · 01f6474c
      Tejun Heo authored
      After the recent cgroup_kn_lock_live() changes, cgroup_mutex is no
      longer nested below kernfs active protection.  The two don't have any
      relationship now.
      
      This patch nests kernfs active protection under cgroup_mutex.  All
      cftype operations now require both cgroup_tree_mutex and cgroup_mutex,
      temporary cgroup_mutex releases over kernfs operations are removed,
      and cgroup_add/rm_cftypes() grab both mutexes.
      
      This makes cgroup_tree_mutex redundant, which will be removed by the
      next patch.

      cgroup: implement cftype->write() · b4168640
      Tejun Heo authored
      During the recent conversion to kernfs, cftype's seq_file operations
      are updated so that they are directly mapped to kernfs operations and
      thus can fully access the associated kernfs and cgroup contexts;
      however, write path hasn't seen similar updates and none of the
      existing write operations has access to, for example, the associated
      kernfs_open_file.
      
      Let's introduce a new operation cftype->write() which maps directly to
      the kernfs write operation and has access to all the arguments and
      contexts.  This will replace ->write_string() and ->trigger() and ease
      manipulation of kernfs active protection from cgroup file operations.
      
      Two accessors - of_cft() and of_css() - are introduced to enable
      accessing the associated cgroup context from cftype->write() which
      only takes kernfs_open_file for the context information.  The
      accessors for seq_file operations - seq_cft() and seq_css() - are

      cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*() · ec903c0c
      Tejun Heo authored
      Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
      distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
      against upping a refcnt which already reached zero.  cgroup is
      planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
      reached zero.  Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
      indicate that they're onliness.
      
      I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
      names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
      controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
      seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
      on/offline state.
      
      Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
      to css_tryget_online_from_dir().  This is pure rename.
      
      v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget().  Update
          accordingly.

      release_path is now protected by release_agent_path_lock to allow

      cgroup_release_agent_show() was still grabbing cgroup_mutex.  Let's
      convert it to release_agent_path_lock so that we don't have to worry
      about this one for the planned locking updates.

      cgroup: use restart_syscall() for retries after offline waits in cgroup_subtree_control_write() · 7d331fa9
      Tejun Heo authored
      After waiting for a child to finish offline,
      cgroup_subtree_control_write() jumps up to retry from after the input
      parsing and active protection breaking.  This retry makes the
      scheduled locking update - removal of cgroup_tree_mutex - more
      difficult.  Let's simplify it by returning with restart_syscall() for
      retries.

      cgroup: update and fix parsing of "cgroup.subtree_control" · d37167ab
      Tejun Heo authored
      I was confused that strsep() was equivalent to strtok_r() in skipping
      over consecutive delimiters.  strsep() just splits at the first
      occurrence of one of the delimiters which makes the parsing very
      inflexible, which makes allowing multiple whitespace chars as
      delimters kinda moot.  Let's just be consistently strict and require
      list of tokens separated by spaces.  This is what
      Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt describes too.
      
      Also, parsing may access beyond the end of the string if the string
      ends with spaces or is zero-length.  Make sure it skips zero-length
      tokens.  Note that this also ensures that the parser doesn't puke on
      multiple consecutive spaces.
      
      v2: Add zero-length token skipping.
      
      v3: Added missing space after "==".  Spotted by Li.

      cgroup: css_release() shouldn't clear cgroup->subsys[] · 0ab7a60d
      Tejun Heo authored
      c1a71504 ("cgroup: don't recycle cgroup id until all csses' have
      been destroyed") made cgroup ID persist until a cgroup is released and
      add cgroup->subsys[] clearing to css_release() so that css_from_id()
      doesn't return a css which has already been released which happens
      before cgroup release; however, the right change here was updating
      offline_css() to clear cgroup->subsys[] which was done by e3297803
      ("cgroup: cgroup->subsys[] should be cleared after the css is
      offlined") instead of clearing it from css_release().
      
      We're now clearing cgroup->subsys[] twice.  This is okay for
      traditional hierarchies as a css's lifetime is the same as its
      cgroup's; however, this confuses unified hierarchy and turning on and
      off a controller repeatedly using "cgroup.subtree_control" can lead to
      an oops like the following which happens because cgroup->subsys[] is
      incorrectly cleared asynchronously by css_release().

      freezer->lock used to be used in hot paths but that time is long gone
      and there's no reason for the lock to be IRQ-safe spinlock or even
      per-cgroup.  In fact, given the fact that a cgroup may contain large
      number of tasks, it's not a good idea to iterate over them while
      holding IRQ-safe spinlock.
      
      Let's simplify locking by replacing per-cgroup freezer->lock with
      global freezer_mutex.  This also makes the comments explaining the
      intricacies of policy inheritance and the locking around it as the
      states are protected by a common mutex.
      
      The conversion is mostly straight-forward.  The followings are worth
      mentioning.
      
      * freezer_css_online() no longer needs double locking.
      
      * freezer_attach() now performs propagation simply while holding
        freezer_mutex.  update_if_frozen() race no longer exists and the
        comment is removed.
      
      * freezer_fork() now tests whether the task is in root cgroup using
        the new task_css_is_root() without doing rcu_read_lock/unlock().  If
        not, it grabs freezer_mutex and performs the operation.
      
      * freezer_read() and freezer_change_state() grab freezer_mutex across
        the whole operation and pin the css while iterating so that each
        descendant processing happens in sleepable context.

      cgroup: introduce task_css_is_root() · 5024ae29
      Tejun Heo authored
      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
