cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration

2013-08-09T00:11:27+00:00

Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin
(root of subtree) css in the iteration.  The reasons were maintaining
consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of
introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway;
however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a
descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and
looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that
including origin would result in simpler code overall.

While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup
API including the iterators has recently gone through major
restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without
adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this
type of change.

The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  If the iteration block
had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the
iteration.  If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added.  Some
conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by
consolidating origin handling and the rest.  While the extra ref
operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any
noticeable difference.

cgroup: make hierarchy iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup

2013-08-09T00:11:25+00:00

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in
subsystem API.  For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because

* In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway.

* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different
  subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the
  hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.
  Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
  subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and
  subsystem

* For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created
  and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy.  Having
  cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot
  easier.

Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward.  Noteworthy changes
are

* blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used.  Removed.

* freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used.  Removed.

* devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used.  Removed.

cgroup: add css_parent()

2013-08-09T00:11:23+00:00

Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css.  cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.

This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent.  The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.

freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.

* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
  parent_ca().  The only difference between the two was NULL test on
  cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
  distinction moot.  Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
  added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

cgroup: add/update accessors which obtain subsys specific data from css

2013-08-09T00:11:23+00:00

css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure.  Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast.  As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.

All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases.  While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.

* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
  accessor.  Added.

* memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly
  handle NULL input.  Updated.

cgroup: s/cgroup_subsys_state/cgroup_css/ s/task_subsys_state/task_css/

2013-08-09T00:11:22+00:00

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward.  Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.

Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css().  This patch is pure rename.

blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback

2013-05-14T20:52:31+00:00

Currently, when the last reference of a blkcg_gq is put, all then
release operations sans the actual freeing happen directly in
blkg_put().  As blkg_put() may be called under queue_lock, all
pd_exit_fn()s may be too.  This makes it impossible for pd_exit_fn()s
to use del_timer_sync() on timers which grab the queue_lock which is
an irq-safe lock due to the deadlock possibility described in the
comment on top of del_timer_sync().

This can be easily avoided by perfoming the release operations in the
RCU callback instead of directly from blkg_put().  This patch moves
the blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback.

As this leaves __blkg_release() with only call_rcu() invocation,
blkg_rcu_free() is renamed to __blkg_release_rcu(), exported and
call_rcu() invocation is now done directly from blkg_put() instead of
going through __blkg_release() which is removed.

cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() race

2013-03-04T17:50:08+00:00

rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
a longer name.

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.

blkcg: implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge()

2013-01-09T16:05:12+00:00

Implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge().
The former two collect the [rw]stats designated by the target policy
data and offset from the pd's subtree.  The latter two add one
[rw]stat to another.

Note that the recursive sum functions require the queue lock to be
held on entry to make blkg online test reliable.  This is necessary to
properly handle stats of a dying blkg.

These will be used to implement hierarchical stats.
