<title>cgroup: Eliminate cgrp_ancestor_storage in cgroup_root</title>

<id>ef56578274d2b98423c8ef82bb450223f5811b59</id>
<content type='text'>
The cgrp_ancestor_storage has two drawbacks:
- it's not guaranteed that the member immediately follows struct cgrp in
  cgroup_root (root cgroup's ancestors[0] might thus point to a padding
  and not in cgrp_ancestor_storage proper),
- this idiom raises warnings with -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.

Instead of relying on the auxiliary member in cgroup_root, define the
0-th level ancestor inside struct cgroup (needed for static allocation
of cgrp_dfl_root), deeper cgroups would allocate flexible
_low_ancestors[].  Unionized alias through ancestors[] will
transparently join the two ranges.

The above change would still leave the flexible array at the end of
struct cgroup inside cgroup_root, so move cgrp also towards the end of
cgroup_root to resolve the -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Defer task cgroup unlink until after the dying task's final context
   switch so that controllers see the cgroup properly populated until
   the task is truly gone

 - cpuset cleanups and simplifications.

   Enforce that domain isolated CPUs stay in root or isolated partitions
   and fail if isolated+nohz_full would leave no housekeeping CPU. Fix
   sched/deadline root domain handling during CPU hot-unplug and race
   for tasks in attaching cpusets

 - Misc fixes including memory reclaim protection documentation and
   selftest KTAP conformance

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Defer task cgroup unlink until after the dying task's final context
   switch so that controllers see the cgroup properly populated until
   the task is truly gone

 - cpuset cleanups and simplifications.

   Enforce that domain isolated CPUs stay in root or isolated partitions
   and fail if isolated+nohz_full would leave no housekeeping CPU. Fix
   sched/deadline root domain handling during CPU hot-unplug and race
   for tasks in attaching cpusets

 - Misc fixes including memory reclaim protection documentation and
   selftest KTAP conformance

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
  adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
  eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.

  Features:

   - Kernel Credential Guards

     Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
     allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
     them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
     prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
     only to drop them again later.

     The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
     temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
     callers.

   - Generic Credential Guards

     Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
     revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
     override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.

   - Prepare Credential Guards

     Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
     preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
     credentials with them:
      - prepare_creds()
      - modify new creds
      - override_creds()
      - revert_creds()
      - put_cred()

  Cleanups:

   - Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed

   - Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials

   - Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago

   - coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
     credential handling

   - coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup()

   - coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const

   - coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const

   - sev-dev: use guard for path"

<title>memcg: net: track network throttling due to memcg memory pressure</title>

The kernel can throttle network sockets if the memory cgroup associated
with the corresponding socket is under memory pressure.  The throttling
actions include clamping the transmit window, failing to expand receive or
send buffers, aggressively prune out-of-order receive queue, FIN deferred
to a retransmitted packet and more.  Let's add memcg metric to track such
throttling actions.

At the moment memcg memory pressure is defined through vmpressure and in
future it may be defined using PSI or we may add more flexible way for the
users to define memory pressure, maybe through ebpf.  However the
potential throttling actions will remain the same, so this newly
introduced metric will continue to track throttling actions irrespective
of how memcg memory pressure is defined.

Initial namespaces don't modify their reference count anymore.

cgroup_task_dead() is called from finish_task_switch() which runs with
preemption disabled and doesn't allow scheduling even on PREEMPT_RT. The
function needs to acquire css_set_lock which is a regular spinlock that can
sleep on RT kernels, leading to "sleeping function called from invalid
context" warnings.

css_set_lock is too large in scope to convert to a raw_spinlock. However,
the unlinking operations don't need to run synchronously - they just need
to complete after the task is done running.

On PREEMPT_RT, defer the work through irq_work. While the work doesn't need
to happen immediately, it can't be delayed indefinitely either as the dead
task pins the cgroup and task_struct can be pinned indefinitely. Use the
lazy version of irq_work to allow batching and lower impact while ensuring
timely completion.

v2: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_LAZY instead of immediate irq_work and add explanation
    for why the work can't be delayed indefinitely (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).
