memcg: fix deadlock between cpuset and memcg
Commit b1dd693e ("memcg: avoid deadlock between move charge and try_charge()") can cause another deadlock about mmap_sem on task migration if cpuset and memcg are mounted onto the same mount point. After the commit, cgroup_attach_task() has sequence like: cgroup_attach_task() ss->can_attach() cpuset_can_attach() mem_cgroup_can_attach() down_read(&mmap_sem) (1) ss->attach() cpuset_attach() mpol_rebind_mm() down_write(&mmap_sem) (2) up_write(&mmap_sem) cpuset_migrate_mm() do_migrate_pages() down_read(&mmap_sem) up_read(&mmap_sem) mem_cgroup_move_task() mem_cgroup_clear_mc() up_read(&mmap_sem) We can cause deadlock at (2) because we've already aquire the mmap_sem at (1). But the commit itself is necessary to fix deadlocks which have existed before the commit like: Ex.1) move charge | try charge --------------------------------------+------------------------------ mem_cgroup_can_attach() | down_write(&mmap_sem) mc.moving_task = current | .. mem_cgroup_precharge_mc() | __mem_cgroup_try_charge() mem_cgroup_count_precharge() | prepare_to_wait() down_read(&mmap_sem) | if (mc.moving_task) -> cannot aquire the lock | -> true | schedule() | -> move charge should wake it up Ex.2) move charge | try charge --------------------------------------+------------------------------ mem_cgroup_can_attach() | mc.moving_task = current | mem_cgroup_precharge_mc() | mem_cgroup_count_precharge() | down_read(&mmap_sem) | .. | up_read(&mmap_sem) | | down_write(&mmap_sem) mem_cgroup_move_task() | .. mem_cgroup_move_charge() | __mem_cgroup_try_charge() down_read(&mmap_sem) | prepare_to_wait() -> cannot aquire the lock | if (mc.moving_task) | -> true | schedule() | -> move charge should wake it up This patch fixes all of these problems by: 1. revert the commit. 2. To fix the Ex.1, we set mc.moving_task after mem_cgroup_count_precharge() has released the mmap_sem. 3. To fix the Ex.2, we use down_read_trylock() instead of down_read() in mem_cgroup_move_charge() and, if it has failed to aquire the lock, cancel all extra charges, wake up all waiters, and retry trylock.
