Andrew Bresticker c1e2ee2dc4 memcg: replace ss->id_lock with a rwlock
While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global
reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance
regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of
the ss->id_lock.  This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to
idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy
walk).

Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it
with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new().  By making the ss->id_lock a
rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves.

Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on
each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine.
Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers.
Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.

Before rwlock patch: 1710.778s
After rwlock patch: 152.227s

Ben Blum 77ceab8ea5 cgroups: don't attach task to subsystem if migration failed
If a task has exited to the point it has called cgroup_exit() already,
then we can't migrate it to another cgroup anymore.

This can happen when we are attaching a task to a new cgroup between the
call to ->can_attach_task() on subsystems and the migration that is
eventually tried in cgroup_task_migrate().

In this case cgroup_task_migrate() returns -ESRCH and we don't want to
attach the task to the subsystems because the attachment to the new cgroup
itself failed.

Fix this by only calling ->attach_task() on the subsystems if the cgroup
migration succeeded.

Ben Blum 33ef6b6984 cgroups: more safe tasklist locking in cgroup_attach_proc
Fix unstable tasklist locking in cgroup_attach_proc.

According to this thread - https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/27/243 - RCU is
not sufficient to guarantee the tasklist is stable w.r.t.  de_thread and
exit.  Taking tasklist_lock for reading, instead of rcu_read_lock, ensures
proper exclusion.

eparis@redhat 2ce9738bac cgroupfs: use init_cred when populating new cgroupfs mount
We recently found that in some configurations SELinux was blocking the ability
for cgroupfs to be mounted.  The reason for this is because cgroupfs creates
files and directories during the get_sb() call and also uses lookup_one_len()
during that same get_sb() call.  This is a problem since the security
subsystem cannot initialize the superblock and the inodes in that filesystem
until after the get_sb() call returns.  Thus we leave the inodes in
an unitialized state during get_sb().  For the vast majority of filesystems
this is not an issue, but since cgroupfs uses lookup_on_len() it does
search permission checks on the directories in the path it walks.  Since the
inode security state is not set up SELinux does these checks as if the inodes
were 'unlabeled.'

Many 'normal' userspace process do not have permission to interact with
unlabeled inodes.  The solution presented here is to do the permission checks
of path walk and inode creation as the kernel rather than as the task that
called mount.  Since the kernel has permission to read/write/create
unlabeled inodes the get_sb() call will complete successfully and the SELinux
code will be able to initialize the superblock and those inodes created during
the get_sb() call.

This appears to be the same solution used by other filesystems such as devtmpfs
to solve the same issue and should thus have no negative impact on other LSMs
which currently work.

Daniel Lezcano a77aea9201 cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

Ben Blum d846687d7f cgroups: use flex_array in attach_proc
Convert cgroup_attach_proc to use flex_array.

The cgroup_attach_proc implementation requires a pre-allocated array to
store task pointers to atomically move a thread-group, but asking for a
monolithic array with kmalloc() may be unreliable for very large groups.
Using flex_array provides the same functionality with less risk of
failure.

This is a post-patch for cgroup-procs-write.patch.

Ben Blum f780bdb7c1 cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts

Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

Phil Carmody 8d2587970b cgroups: if you list_empty() a head then don't list_del() it
list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers.  The next
list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty.
Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a
check will be fooled into dereferencing poison.  One needs to INIT the
node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that -
list_del_init().

Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one
can be merged with an add to make a move.  Apart from that, I erred on the
side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable.

Stephane Eranian e5d1367f17 perf: Add cgroup support
This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.

The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.

For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:

struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;

cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);

Nick Piggin fb045adb99 fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry

This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup

have d_op but not the particular operation.

Patched with:

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is

But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd

it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops
which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general
a filesystem may not do this. Fix cgroupfs so as not to do this.

Evgeny Kuznetsov f4a2589fea cgroups: add check for strcpy destination string overflow
Function "strcpy" is used without check for maximum allowed source string
length and could cause destination string overflow.  Check for string
length is added before using "strcpy".  Function now is return error if
source string length is more than a maximum.

akpm: presently considered NotABug, but add the check for general
future-safeness and robustness.

Daniel Lezcano 32a8cf235e cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate
Current behavior:
=================

(1) When we mount a cgroup, we can specify the 'all' option which
    means to enable all the cgroup subsystems.  This is the default option
    when no option is specified.

(2) If we want to mount a cgroup with a subset of the supported cgroup
    subsystems, we have to specify a subsystems name list for the mount
    option.

(3) If we specify another option like 'noprefix' or 'release_agent',
    the actual code wants the 'all' or a subsystem name option specified
    also.  Not critical but a bit not friendly as we should assume (1) in
    this case.

(4) Logically, the 'all' option is mutually exclusive with a subsystem
    name, but this is not detected.

In other words:
 succeed : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup
	=> is it 'all' or 'freezer' ?
 fails : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup
	=> succeed if we do '-o noprefix,all'

The following patches consolidate a bit the mount options check.

New behavior:
=============

(1) untouched
(2) untouched
(3) the 'all' option will be by default when specifying other than
    a subsystem name option
(4) raises an error

In other words:
 fails   : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup
 succeed : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup

For the sake of lisibility, the if ... then ... else ... if ...
indentation when parsing the options has been changed to:
if ... then
	...
	continue

Daniel Lezcano 97978e6d1f cgroup: add clone_children control file
The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces.  When a
new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created
too.  The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the
child of 'clone'.

This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to
escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child
cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup.

Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing
problems with it:

(1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a
    previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST

(2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an
    application creating several namespaces where the system will
    automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the
    cgroupfs (eg.  a vrf based on the network namespace).

(3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check
    and clean these cgroups.

This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and
the cgroupfs mount option.  It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when
a child cgroup is created.  We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as
this flag brings a compatibility.  We have now to manually create and add
the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework.

This patch:

Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup.

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html

It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup.  This control file
is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the
parent cgroup or not.  The default value is 'false'.

This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all
the subsystem, if it is available.

At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the
post_clone callback.

The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children'
mount option.

Christoph Hellwig 85fe4025c6 fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

Jan Blunck db71922217 BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super
This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.

I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.

do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.

Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.

[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
       don't use it elsewhere]

Michael S. Tsirkin 31583bb0cf cgroups: fix API thinko
Add cgroup_attach_task_all()

The existing cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() API is called by a thread to
attach another thread to all of its cgroups; this is unsuitable for cases
where a privileged task wants to attach itself to the cgroups of a less
privileged one, since the call must be made from the context of the target
task.

This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows
both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified.
cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more
generic new function.

Greg KH 676db4af04 cgroupfs: create /sys/fs/cgroup to mount cgroupfs on
We really shouldn't be asking userspace to create new root filesystems.
So follow along with all of the other in-kernel filesystems, and provide
a mount point in sysfs.

For cgroupfs, this should be in /sys/fs/cgroup/  This change provides
that mount point when the cgroup filesystem is registered in the kernel.

Greg Thelen 94b3dd0f7b cgroups: alloc_css_id() increments hierarchy depth
Child groups should have a greater depth than their parents.  Prior to
this change, the parent would incorrectly report zero memory usage for
child cgroups when use_hierarchy is enabled.

test script:
  mount -t cgroup none /cgroups -o memory
  cd /cgroups
  mkdir cg1

  echo 1 > cg1/memory.use_hierarchy
  mkdir cg1/cg11

  echo $$ > cg1/cg11/tasks
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1

  echo
  echo CHILD
  grep cache cg1/cg11/memory.stat

  echo
  echo PARENT
  grep cache cg1/memory.stat

  echo $$ > tasks
  rmdir cg1/cg11 cg1
  cd /
  umount /cgroups

Using fae9c79, a recent patch that changed alloc_css_id() depth computation,
the parent incorrectly reports zero usage:
  root@ubuntu:~# ./test
  1+0 records in
  1+0 records out
  1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0151844 s, 69.1 MB/s

  CHILD
  cache 1048576
  total_cache 1048576

  PARENT
  cache 0
  total_cache 0

With this patch, the parent correctly includes child usage:
  root@ubuntu:~# ./test
  1+0 records in
  1+0 records out
  1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0136827 s, 76.6 MB/s
