mm: optimize put_mems_allowed() usage

2014-04-03T23:20:58+00:00

Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we
don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative
fast-paths.

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.

This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
is inverted from its previous incarnation.

Merge branch 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2014-04-03T20:05:42+00:00

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy
     hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
     Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
     associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
     anyway.

   - Various fixes from Li and others.  This pull request includes some
     patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems.  This was
     triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h.  cgroup.h
     indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
     which brought in slab.h.

  There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
  necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
  driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

cgroup: drop const from @buffer of cftype->write_string()

2014-03-19T14:23:54+00:00

cftype->write_string() just passes on the writeable buffer from kernfs
and there's no reason to add const restriction on the buffer.  The
only thing const achieves is unnecessarily complicating parsing of the
buffer.  Drop const from @buffer.

It's not safe to access task's cpuset after releasing task_lock().
Holding callback_mutex won't help.

cpuset: fix a locking issue in cpuset_migrate_mm()

2014-02-27T14:35:59+00:00

I can trigger a lockdep warning:

  # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /cgroup
  # mkdir /cgroup/cpuset
  # mkdir /cgroup/tmp
  # echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.cpus
  # echo 0 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.mems
  # echo 1 > /cgroup/tmp/cpuset.memory_migrate
  # echo $$ > /cgroup/tmp/tasks
  # echo 1 > /cgruop/tmp/cpuset.mems

  ===============================
  [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
  3.14.0-rc1-0.1-default+ #32 Not tainted
  -------------------------------
  include/linux/cgroup.h:682 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

    [] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x101/0x140
    [] cpuset_migrate_mm+0xb1/0xe0
  ...

We used to hold cgroup_mutex when calling cpuset_migrate_mm(), but now
we hold cpuset_mutex, which causes task_css() to complain.

This is not a false-positive but a real issue.

Holding cpuset_mutex won't prevent a task from migrating to another
cpuset, and it won't prevent the original task->cgroup from destroying
during this change.

cpuset: don't use cgroup_taskset_cur_css()

2014-02-13T11:58:41+00:00

cgroup_taskset_cur_css() will be removed during the planned
resturcturing of migration path.  The only use of
cgroup_taskset_cur_css() is finding out the old cgroup_subsys_state of
the leader in cpuset_attach().  This usage can easily be removed by
remembering the old value from cpuset_can_attach().

cgroup: drop @skip_css from cgroup_taskset_for_each()

2014-02-13T11:58:41+00:00

If !NULL, @skip_css makes cgroup_taskset_for_each() skip the matching
css.  The intention of the interface is to make it easy to skip css's
(cgroup_subsys_states) which already match the migration target;
however, this is entirely unnecessary as migration taskset doesn't
include tasks which are already in the target cgroup.  Drop @skip_css
from cgroup_taskset_for_each().

cpuset: use css_task_iter_start/next/end() instead of css_scan_tasks()

2014-02-13T11:58:40+00:00

Now that css_task_iter_start/next_end() supports blocking while
iterating, there's no reason to use css_scan_tasks() which is more
cumbersome to use and scheduled to be removed.

Convert all css_scan_tasks() usages in cpuset to
css_task_iter_start/next/end().  This simplifies the code by removing
heap allocation and callbacks.
