* cgroup: use a dedicated workqueue for cgroup destructionTejun Heo2013-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit e5fca243abae1445afbfceebda5f08462ef869d3 upstream. Since be44562613851 ("cgroup: remove synchronize_rcu() from cgroup_diput()"), cgroup destruction path makes use of workqueue. css freeing is performed from a work item from that point on and a later commit, ea15f8ccdb430 ("cgroup: split cgroup destruction into two steps"), moves css offlining to workqueue too. As cgroup destruction isn't depended upon for memory reclaim, the destruction work items were put on the system_wq; unfortunately, some controller may block in the destruction path for considerable duration while holding cgroup_mutex. As large part of destruction path is synchronized through cgroup_mutex, when combined with high rate of cgroup removals, this has potential to fill up system_wq's max_active of 256. Also, it turns out that memcg's css destruction path ends up queueing and waiting for work items on system_wq through work_on_cpu(). If such operation happens while system_wq is fully occupied by cgroup destruction work items, work_on_cpu() can't make forward progress because system_wq is full and other destruction work items on system_wq can't make forward progress because the work item waiting for work_on_cpu() is holding cgroup_mutex, leading to deadlock. This can be fixed by queueing destruction work items on a separate workqueue. This patch creates a dedicated workqueue - cgroup_destroy_wq - for this purpose. As these work items shouldn't have inter-dependencies and mostly serialized by cgroup_mutex anyway, giving high concurrency level doesn't buy anything and the workqueue's @max_active is set to 1 so that destruction work items are executed one by one on each CPU. Hugh Dickins: Because cgroup_init() is run before init_workqueues(), cgroup_destroy_wq can't be allocated from cgroup_init(). Do it from a separate core_initcall(). In the future, we probably want to reorder so that workqueue init happens before cgroup_init().

* cgroup: fix to break the while loop in cgroup_attach_task() correctlyAnjana V Kumar2013-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit ea84753c98a7ac6b74e530b64c444a912b3835ca upstream. Both Anjana and Eunki reported a stall in the while_each_thread loop in cgroup_attach_task(). It's because, when we attach a single thread to a cgroup, if the cgroup is exiting or is already in that cgroup, we won't break the loop. If the task is already in the cgroup, the bug can lead to another thread being attached to the cgroup unexpectedly: # echo 5207 > tasks # cat tasks 5207 # echo 5207 > tasks # cat tasks 5207 5215 What's worse, if the task to be attached isn't the leader of the thread group, we might never exit the loop, hence cpu stall. Thanks for Oleg's analysis.

* cgroup: warn about mismatching options of a new mount of an existing hierarchyJeff Liu2013-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the new __DEVEL__sane_behavior mount option was introduced, if the root cgroup is alive with no xattr function, to mount a new cgroup with xattr will be rejected in terms of design which just fine. However, if the root cgroup does not mounted with __DEVEL__sane_hehavior, to create a new cgroup with xattr option will succeed although after that the EA function does not works as expected but will get ENOTSUPP for setting up attributes under either cgroup. e.g. setfattr: /cgroup2/test: Operation not supported Instead of keeping silence in this case, it's better to drop a log entry in warning level. That would be helpful to understand the reason behind the scene from the user's perspective, and this is essentially an improvement does not break the backward compatibilities. With this fix, above mount attemption will keep up works as usual but the following line cound be found at the system log: [ ...] cgroup: new mount options do not match the existing superblock tj: minor formatting / message updates.

* cgroup: fix a subtle bug in descendant pre-order walkTejun Heo2013-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When cgroup_next_descendant_pre() initiates a walk, it checks whether the subtree root doesn't have any children and if not returns NULL. Later code assumes that the subtree isn't empty. This is broken because the subtree may become empty inbetween, which can lead to the traversal escaping the subtree by walking to the sibling of the subtree root. There's no reason to have the early exit path. Remove it along with the later assumption that the subtree isn't empty. This simplifies the code a bit and fixes the subtle bug. While at it, fix the comment of cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which was incorrectly referring to ->css_offline() instead of ->css_online().

* cgroup: initialize xattr before calling d_instantiate()Li Zefan2013-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup_create_file() calls d_instantiate(), which may decide to look at the xattrs on the file. Smack always does this and SELinux can be configured to do so. But cgroup_add_file() didn't initialize xattrs before calling cgroup_create_file(), which finally leads to dereferencing NULL dentry->d_fsdata. This bug has been there since cgroup xattr was introduced.

Locking cleanup is finally complete. cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path(). - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu. - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy. - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately, cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled implicitly along with unified hierarchy. The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm), which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without introducing a full separate set of control knobs. This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that it's supportable in the long term. Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able to drop it in a decade.

As we can't break exposed userland interface, transitioning to sane behaviors can only be done in steps while maintaining backwards compatibility. This patch introduces a new mount option - __DEVEL__sane_behavior - which disables crazy features and enforces consistent behaviors in cgroup core proper and various controllers. As exactly which behaviors it changes are still being determined, the mount option, at this point, is useful only for development of the new behaviors. As such, the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__ and generates a warning message when used. Eventually, once we get to the point where all controller's behaviors are consistent enough to implement unified hierarchy, the __DEVEL__ prefix will be dropped, and more importantly, unified-hierarchy will enforce sane_behavior by default. Maybe we'll able to completely drop the crazy stuff after a while, maybe not, but we at least have a strategy to move on to saner behaviors. This patch introduces the mount option and changes the following behaviors in cgroup core. * Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed. Also, cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created. * When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match. This is currently pretty crazy. If one mounts a cgroup, creates a subdirectory, unmounts it and then mount it again with different option, it looks like the new options are applied but they aren't. * Remount is disallowed. The behaviors changes are documented in the comment above CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR enum and will be expanded as different controllers are converted and planned improvements progress. v2: Dropped unnecessary explicit file permission setting sane_behavior cftype entry as suggested by Li Zefan.

The only user is task_subsys_state_check() which uses it to verify RCU access context. We can move cgroup_lock_is_held() inside CONFIG_PROVE_RCU but that doesn't add meaningful protection compared to conditionally exposing cgroup_mutex. Remove cgroup_lock_is_held(), export cgroup_mutex iff CONFIG_PROVE_RCU and use lockdep_is_held() directly on the mutex in task_subsys_state_check().

As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate cgroup path using dentry->d_name. Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at rename(). v5: use flexible array instead of zero-size array. v4: - allocate root_cgroup_name and all root_cgroup->name points to it. - add cgroup_name() wrapper. v3: use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() in user-visible path. v2: make cgrp->name RCU safe.

The changes achieve the followings. - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools. This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones. - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes. Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU affinity. It may be expanded to include cgroup association in future. The attributes can be specified either by calling apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs. The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes. When attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work items which are already executing in its previous worker pools alone. This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues. The writeback pool is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others are likely to follow including btrfs io workers. - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used to make it NUMA-aware. Because there's no association between work item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly. After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in the same node. This is turned on by default but can be disabled system-wide or for individual workqueues. Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have idle cycles. While the new features required a lot of changes including restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much. The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue, execution or flush paths. As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with basic correctness of work item execution and handling. If something is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being changed or during CPU hotplug. While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique combinations of attributes. Assuming everything else is the same, NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online CPUs. There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the workqueue tree. - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control exposed. This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs. - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted. This is resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is printed when the task is dumped. As this change involves unifying implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's being routed through Andrew's -mm tree." * 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (84 commits) workqueue: use kmem_cache_free() instead of kfree() workqueue: avoid false negative WARN_ON() in destroy_workqueue() workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues workqueue: introduce put_pwq_unlocked() workqueue: introduce numa_pwq_tbl_install() workqueue: use NUMA-aware allocation for pool_workqueues workqueue: break init_and_link_pwq() into two functions and introduce alloc_unbound_pwq() workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues workqueue: move hot fields of workqueue_struct to the end workqueue: make workqueue->name[] fixed len workqueue: add workqueue->unbound_attrs workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumask workqueue: drop 'H' from kworker names of unbound worker pools workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[] workqueue: move pwq_pool_locking outside of get/put_unbound_pool() workqueue: fix memory leak in apply_workqueue_attrs() workqueue: fix unbound workqueue attrs hashing / comparison workqueue: fix race condition in unbound workqueue free path workqueue: remove pwq_lock which is no longer used ...
| * | sched: replace PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITYTejun Heo2013-03-19
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with cpus_allowed of workqueue workers. What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can (incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages, restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work items to the task anyway. This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY. sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set. set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag. This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.

I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

Move cgrp->event_list to a temporary list doesn't mean you can traverse this list locklessly, because at the same time cgroup_event_wake() can be called and remove the event from the list. The result of this race is disastrous. We adopt the way how kvm irqfd code implements race-free event removal, which is now described in the comments in cgroup_event_wake(). v3: - call eventfd_signal() no matter it's eventfd close or cgroup removal that removes the cgroup event.
