KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 0b7f569e45 memcg: fix OOM killer under memcg
This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy.
Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to
kill a task in memcg.

But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot
be killed. For example, in following cgroup

	/groupA/	hierarchy=1, limit=1G,
		01	nolimit
		02	nolimit
All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to
groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA.

This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks
under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA
in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated.

To see how oom_jiffies is used, please check mem_cgroup_oom_called()
callers.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 81d39c20f5 memcg: fix shrinking memory to return -EBUSY by fixing retry algorithm
As pointed out, shrinking memcg's limit should return -EBUSY after
reasonable retries.  This patch tries to fix the current behavior of
shrink_usage.

Before looking into "shrink should return -EBUSY" problem, we should fix
hierarchical reclaim code.  It compares current usage and current limit,
but it only makes sense when the kernel reclaims memory because hit
limits.  This is also a problem.

What this patch does are.

  1. add new argument "shrink" to hierarchical reclaim. If "shrink==true",
     hierarchical reclaim returns immediately and the caller checks the kernel
     should shrink more or not.
     (At shrinking memory, usage is always smaller than limit. So check for
      usage < limit is useless.)

  2. For adjusting to above change, 2 changes in "shrink"'s retry path.
     2-a. retry_count depends on # of children because the kernel visits
	  the children under hierarchy one by one.
     2-b. rather than checking return value of hierarchical_reclaim's progress,
	  compares usage-before-shrink and usage-after-shrink.
	  If usage-before-shrink <= usage-after-shrink, retry_count is
	  decremented.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 04046e1a0a memcg: use CSS ID
Assigning CSS ID for each memcg and use css_get_next() for scanning hierarchy.

	Assume folloing tree.

	group_A (ID=3)
		/01 (ID=4)
		   /0A (ID=7)
		/02 (ID=10)
	group_B (ID=5)
	and task in group_A/01/0A hits limit at group_A.

	reclaim will be done in following order (round-robin).
	group_A(3) -> group_A/01 (4) -> group_A/01/0A (7) -> group_A/02(10)
	-> group_A -> .....

	Round robin by ID. The last visited cgroup is recorded and restart
	from it when it start reclaim again.
	(More smart algorithm can be implemented..)

	No cgroup_mutex or hierarchy_mutex is required.

Li Zefan 0670e08bdf cgroups: don't change release_agent when remount failed
Remount can fail in either case:
  - wrong mount options is specified, or option 'noprefix' is changed.
  - a to-be-added subsys is already mounted/active.

When using remount to change 'release_agent', for the above former failure
case, remount will return errno with release_agent unchanged, but for the
latter case, remount will return EBUSY with relase_agent changed, which is
unexpected I think:

 # mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /cgrp1
 # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,release_agent=agent1 yyy /cgrp2
 # cat /cgrp2/release_agent
 agent1
 # mount -t cgroup -o remount,cpuset,noprefix,release_agent=agent2 yyy /cgrp2
 mount: /cgrp2 not mounted already, or bad option
 # cat /cgrp2/release_agent
 agent1     <-- ok
 # mount -t cgroup -o remount,cpu,cpuset,release_agent=agent2 yyy /cgrp2
 mount: /cgrp2 is busy
 # cat /cgrp2/release_agent
 agent2     <-- unexpected!

We have some read-only files and write-only files, but currently they are
all set to 0644, which is counter-intuitive and cause trouble for some
cgroup tools like libcgroup.

This patch adds 'mode' to struct cftype to allow cgroup subsys to set it's
own files' file mode, and for the most cases cft->mode can be default to 0
and cgroup will figure out proper mode.

This won't remove cpuacct from the mounted hierachy:
 # mount -t cgroup -o cpu,cpuacct xxx /mnt
 # mount -o remount,cpu /mnt

Because for this usage mount(8) will append the new options to the original
options.

And this will get you right:
 # mount [-t cgroup] -o remount,cpu xxx /mnt

Also document how to specify or change release_agent.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ec64f51545 cgroup: fix frequent -EBUSY at rmdir
In following situation, with memory subsystem,

	/groupA use_hierarchy==1
		/01 some tasks
		/02 some tasks
		/03 some tasks
		/04 empty

When tasks under 01/02/03 hit limit on /groupA, hierarchical reclaim
is triggered and the kernel walks tree under groupA. In this case,
rmdir /groupA/04 fails with -EBUSY frequently because of temporal
refcnt from the kernel.

In general. cgroup can be rmdir'd if there are no children groups and
no tasks. Frequent fails of rmdir() is not useful to users.
(And the reason for -EBUSY is unknown to users.....in most cases)

This patch tries to modify above behavior, by
	- retries if css_refcnt is got by someone.
	- add "return value" to pre_destroy() and allows subsystem to
	  say "we're really busy!"

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 38460b48d0 cgroup: CSS ID support
Patch for Per-CSS(Cgroup Subsys State) ID and private hierarchy code.

This patch attaches unique ID to each css and provides following.

 - css_lookup(subsys, id)
   returns pointer to struct cgroup_subysys_state of id.
 - css_get_next(subsys, id, rootid, depth, foundid)
   returns the next css under "root" by scanning

When cgroup_subsys->use_id is set, an id for css is maintained.

The cgroup framework only parepares
	- css_id of root css for subsys
	- id is automatically attached at creation of css.
	- id is *not* freed automatically. Because the cgroup framework
	  don't know lifetime of cgroup_subsys_state.
	  free_css_id() function is provided. This must be called by subsys.

There are several reasons to develop this.
	- Saving space .... For example, memcg's swap_cgroup is array of
	  pointers to cgroup. But it is not necessary to be very fast.
	  By replacing pointers(8bytes per ent) to ID (2byes per ent), we can
	  reduce much amount of memory usage.

	- Scanning without lock.
	  CSS_ID provides "scan id under this ROOT" function. By this, scanning
	  css under root can be written without locks.
	  ex)
	  do {
		rcu_read_lock();
		next = cgroup_get_next(subsys, id, root, &found);
		/* check sanity of next here */
		css_tryget();
		rcu_read_unlock();
		id = found + 1
	 } while(...)

Characteristics:
	- Each css has unique ID under subsys.
	- Lifetime of ID is controlled by subsys.
	- css ID contains "ID" and "Depth in hierarchy" and stack of hierarchy
	- Allowed ID is 1-65535, ID 0 is UNUSED ID.

Design Choices:
	- scan-by-ID v.s. scan-by-tree-walk.
	  As /proc's pid scan does, scan-by-ID is robust when scanning is done
	  by following kind of routine.
	  scan -> rest a while(release a lock) -> conitunue from interrupted
	  memcg's hierarchical reclaim does this.

	- When subsys->use_id is set, # of css in the system is limited to
	  65535.

Grzegorz Nosek 313e924c08 cgroups: relax ns_can_attach checks to allow attaching to grandchild cgroups
The ns_proxy cgroup allows moving processes to child cgroups only one
level deep at a time.  This commit relaxes this restriction and makes it
possible to attach tasks directly to grandchild cgroups, e.g.:

($pid is in the root cgroup)
echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks

Previously this operation would fail with -EPERM and would have to be
performed as two steps:
echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/tasks
echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks

Also, the target cgroup no longer needs to be empty to move a task there.

Jan Kara 695f6ae0dc ext3: avoid false EIO errors
Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we
fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been
paged out in the mean time).  We then end up with !uptodate mapped
buffers.  To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does
not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if
we didn't succeed with copying all the data.

Commit f4fc66a894 (ext3: convert to new
aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate
buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO
errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about
their data ;-P.

This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code
to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data
uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's
lists.

We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size
(i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan
list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks
beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

Bryan Donlan de18f3b2d6 ext3: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode
ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly.  However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode.  This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.

This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

Michael Buesch bfb9bcdbda spi-gpio: allow operation without CS signal
Change spi-gpio so that it is possible to drive SPI communications over
GPIO without the need for a chipselect signal.

This is useful in very small setups where there's only one slave device
on the bus.

This patch does not affect existing setups.

I use this for a tiny communication channel between an embedded device and
a microcontroller.  There are not enough GPIOs available for chipselect
and it's not needed anyway in this case.

We want to phase out the GPIO "autorequest" mechanism in gpiolib and
require all callers to use gpio_request().

 - Update feature-removal-schedule
 - Update the documentation now
 - Convert the relevant pr_warning() in gpiolib to a WARN()
   so folk using this mechanism get a noisy stack dump

Some drivers and board init code will probably need to change.
Implementations not using gpiolib will still be fine; they are already
required to implement gpio_{request,free}() stubs.

In the case of at24, the platform code registers a 'setup' callback with
the at24_platform_data.  When the at24 driver detects an EEPROM, it fills
out the read and write functions of the memory_accessor and calls the
setup callback passing the memory_accessor struct.  The platform code can
then use the read/write functions in the memory_accessor struct for
reading and writing the EEPROM.

A new "address_space flag"--AS_MM_ALL_LOCKS--was defined to use the next
available AS flag while the Unevictable LRU was under development.  The
Unevictable LRU was using the same flag and "no one" noticed.  Current
mainline, since 2.6.28, has same value for two symbolic flag names.

So, define a unique flag value for AS_UNEVICTABLE--up close to the other
flags, [at the cost of an additional #ifdef] so we'll notice next time.
Note that #ifdef is not actually required, if we don't mind having the
unused flag value defined.

Replace #defines with an enum.

Jeff Layton d2caa3c549 writeback: guard against jiffies wraparound on inode->dirtied_when checks (try #3)
The dirtied_when value on an inode is supposed to represent the first time
that an inode has one of its pages dirtied.  This value is in units of
jiffies.  It's used in several places in the writeback code to determine
when to write out an inode.

The problem is that these checks assume that dirtied_when is updated
periodically.  If an inode is continuously being used for I/O it can be
persistently marked as dirty and will continue to age.  Once the time
compared to is greater than or equal to half the maximum of the jiffies
type, the logic of the time_*() macros inverts and the opposite of what is
needed is returned.  On 32-bit architectures that's just under 25 days
(assuming HZ == 1000).

As the least-recently dirtied inode, it'll end up being the first one that
pdflush will try to write out.  sync_sb_inodes does this check:

	/* Was this inode dirtied after sync_sb_inodes was called? */
 	if (time_after(inode->dirtied_when, start))
 		break;

...but now dirtied_when appears to be in the future.  sync_sb_inodes bails
out without attempting to write any dirty inodes.  When this occurs,
pdflush will stop writing out inodes for this superblock.  Nothing can
unwedge it until jiffies moves out of the problematic window.

This patch fixes this problem by changing the checks against dirtied_when
to also check whether it appears to be in the future.  If it does, then we
consider the value to be far in the past.

This should shrink the problematic window of time to such a small period
(30s) as not to matter.
