cgroup: remove obsoleted broken_hierarchy and warned_broken_hierarchy

2020-12-15T20:13:40+00:00

With the deprecation of the non-hierarchical mode of the memory controller
there are no more examples of broken hierarchies left.

Let's remove the cgroup core code which was supposed to print warnings
about creating of broken hierarchies.

cgroup: Fix sock_cgroup_data on big-endian.

2020-07-09T23:28:44+00:00

In order for no_refcnt and is_data to be the lowest order two
bits in the 'val' we have to pad out the bitfield of the u8.

cgroup: fix cgroup_sk_alloc() for sk_clone_lock()

2020-07-07T20:34:11+00:00

When we clone a socket in sk_clone_lock(), its sk_cgrp_data is
copied, so the cgroup refcnt must be taken too. And, unlike the
sk_alloc() path, sock_update_netprioidx() is not called here.
Therefore, it is safe and necessary to grab the cgroup refcnt
even when cgroup_sk_alloc is disabled.

sk_clone_lock() is in BH context anyway, the in_interrupt()
would terminate this function if called there. And for sk_alloc()
skcd->val is always zero. So it's safe to factor out the code
to make it more readable.

The global variable 'cgroup_sk_alloc_disabled' is used to determine
whether to take these reference counts. It is impossible to make
the reference counting correct unless we save this bit of information
in skcd->val. So, add a new bit there to record whether the socket
has already taken the reference counts. This obviously relies on
kmalloc() to align cgroup pointers to at least 4 bytes,
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is certainly larger than that.

This bug seems to be introduced since the beginning, commit
d979a39d7242 ("cgroup: duplicate cgroup reference when cloning sockets")
tried to fix it but not compeletely. It seems not easy to trigger until
the recent commit 090e28b229af
("netprio_cgroup: Fix unlimited memory leak of v2 cgroups") was merged.

Merge branch 'for-5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2020-04-03T18:30:20+00:00

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Christian extended clone3 so that processes can be spawned into
   cgroups directly.

   This is not only neat in terms of semantics but also avoids grabbing
   the global cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem for migration.

 - Daniel added !root xattr support to cgroupfs.

   Userland already uses xattrs on cgroupfs for bookkeeping. This will
   allow delegated cgroups to support such usages.

 - Prateek tried to make cpuset hotplug handling synchronous but that
   led to possible deadlock scenarios. Reverted.

 - Other minor changes including release_agent_path handling cleanup.

mm: memcontrol: recursive memory.low protection

2020-04-02T16:35:28+00:00

Right now, the effective protection of any given cgroup is capped by its
own explicit memory.low setting, regardless of what the parent says.  The
reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make
delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all
memory.low up the tree.

Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire
subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection
allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly
undesirable in real life scenarios.

Consider memory in a data center host.  At the cgroup top level, we have a
distinction between system management software and the actual workload the
system is executing.  Both branches are further subdivided into individual
services, job components etc.

We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management
software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize
individual workload wrt each other.  Their memory demand can vary over
time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the
workload subtree.  Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to
allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order
to get protection from system management software in general.  This
results in very inefficient resource distribution.

Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the
complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels
to be informed about decisions made at the host-level.  Consider a
container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of
cgroups to run multiple workloads.  It'd be extremely difficult to
configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand
balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also
reflecting the host-level protection from e.g.  rpm upgrades, that lie
beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree.

It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to
be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be
effective.

To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this
patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar
to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource
allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to
the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating,
children to further specify distribution rules.

That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings,
those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like
they are now.  However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not
fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is
applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size.  Since
reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in
that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings -
with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was
enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally
within the subtree.  But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the
cgroups in neighboring trees.

E.g.  a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that
it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just
that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings.

This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another
(system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each
other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without
nested groups having to echo higher-level settings.

The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection.
Consider the following example tree:

		A            A: low = 2G
               / \          A1: low = 1G
              A1 A2         A2: low = 0G

As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed
protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split
evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G.

There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the
top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high
"bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree.  Such
setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and
distributing it would change the intended behavior.  Be safe and hide the
new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

clone3: allow spawning processes into cgroups

2020-02-12T22:57:51+00:00

This adds support for creating a process in a different cgroup than its
parent. Callers can limit and account processes and threads right from
the moment they are spawned:
- A service manager can directly spawn new services into dedicated
  cgroups.
- A process can be directly created in a frozen cgroup and will be
  frozen as well.
- The initial accounting jitter experienced by process supervisors and
  daemons is eliminated with this.
- Threaded applications or even thread implementations can choose to
  create a specific cgroup layout where each thread is spawned
  directly into a dedicated cgroup.

This feature is limited to the unified hierarchy. Callers need to pass
a directory file descriptor for the target cgroup. The caller can
choose to pass an O_PATH file descriptor. All usual migration
restrictions apply, i.e. there can be no processes in inner nodes. In
general, creating a process directly in a target cgroup adheres to all
migration restrictions.

One of the biggest advantages of this feature is that CLONE_INTO_GROUP does
not need to grab the write side of the cgroup cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem.
This global lock makes moving tasks/threads around super expensive. With
clone3() this lock is avoided.

cgroup: use cgrp->kn->id as the cgroup ID

2019-11-12T16:18:04+00:00

cgroup ID is currently allocated using a dedicated per-hierarchy idr
and used internally and exposed through tracepoints and bpf.  This is
confusing because there are tracepoints and other interfaces which use
the cgroupfs ino as IDs.

The preceding changes made kn->id exposed as ino as 64bit ino on
supported archs or ino+gen (low 32bits as ino, high gen).  There's no
reason for cgroup to use different IDs.  The kernfs IDs are unique and
userland can easily discover them and map them back to paths using
standard file operations.

This patch replaces cgroup IDs with kernfs IDs.

* cgroup_id() is added and all cgroup ID users are converted to use it.

* kernfs_node creation is moved to earlier during cgroup init so that
  cgroup_id() is available during init.

* While at it, s/cgroup/cgrp/ in psi helpers for consistency.

* Fallback ID value is changed to 1 to be consistent with root cgroup
  ID.

cgroup: use cgroup->last_bstat instead of cgroup->bstat_pending for consistency

2019-11-06T20:50:15+00:00

cgroup->bstat_pending is used to determine the base stat delta to
propagate to the parent.  While correct, this is different from how
percpu delta is determined for no good reason and the inconsistency
makes the code more difficult to understand.

This patch makes parent propagation delta calculation use the same
method as percpu to global propagation.

* cgroup_base_stat_accumulate() is renamed to cgroup_base_stat_add()
  and cgroup_base_stat_sub() is added.

* percpu propagation calculation is updated to use the above helpers.

* cgroup->bstat_pending is replaced with cgroup->last_bstat and
  updated to use the same calculation as percpu propagation.
