Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Fixes and a lot of cleanups.  Locking cleanup is finally complete.
   cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
   used to cause nasty deadlock issues.  Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
   bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().

 - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.

 - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.

 - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added.  As indicated
   by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
   point and generates a warning message when used.  Unfortunately,
   cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
   to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top.  The new flag
   is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
   implement consistent unified hierarchy.  It's likely that this flag
   won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
   implicitly along with unified hierarchy.

   The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
   and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
   which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
   partially honored.  It will also be used to implement hierarchy
   support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
   introducing a full separate set of control knobs.

   This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
   at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
   the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
   is at least somewhat sane.  The planned unified hierarchy is likely
   to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
   it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
   it's supportable in the long term.

   Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
   shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
   it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future.  Maybe we'll be able
   to drop it in a decade.

Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

Linus Torvalds 46d9be3e5e Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time.  The changes achieve
  the followings.

   - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
     updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
     This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
     neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.

   - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
     used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
     Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
     affinity.  It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
     future.  The attributes can be specified either by calling
     apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
     the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.

     The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
     shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes.  When
     attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
     worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
     items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
     alone.

     This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
     want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues.  The writeback pool
     is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
     are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.

   - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
     to make it NUMA-aware.  Because there's no association between work
     item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
     this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
     bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
     to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.

     After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
     NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
     the same node.  This is turned on by default but can be disabled
     system-wide or for individual workqueues.

     Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
     different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
     per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
     be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
     idle cycles.

  While the new features required a lot of changes including
  restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
  The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
  new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
  different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
  execution or flush paths.

  As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
  relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
  basic correctness of work item execution and handling.  If something
  is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
  with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
  changed or during CPU hotplug.

  While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
  more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
  combinations of attributes.  Assuming everything else is the same,
  NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
  CPUs.

  There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
  workqueue tree.

   - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
     pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
     exposed.  This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
     NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.

   - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
     between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
     they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
     backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted.  This is
     resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
     printed when the task is dumped.  As this change involves unifying
     implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
     being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

Tejun Heo 8cc9934520 cgroup, cpuset: replace move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() with cgroup_transfer_tasks()
When a cpuset becomes empty (no CPU or memory), its tasks are
transferred with the nearest ancestor with execution resources.  This
is implemented using cgroup_scan_tasks() with a callback which grabs
cgroup_mutex and invokes cgroup_attach_task() on each task.

Both cgroup_mutex and cgroup_attach_task() are scheduled to be
unexported.  Implement cgroup_transfer_tasks() in cgroup proper which
is essentially the same as move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() except that
it takes cgroups instead of cpusets and @to comes before @from like
normal functions with those arguments, and replace
move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() with it.

Tejun Heo 14a40ffccd sched: replace PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were
bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag
set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself.  Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with
cpus_allowed of workqueue workers.

What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks.  In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work
items to the task anyway.

This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY.
sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set.
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag.

This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.

Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:

   cpuset synchronization from cgroup internal locking.

   After this change, there only remain a couple of mostly trivial

   is scheduled to be unexported in this devel cycle.

   This will finally remove the fragile locking order around cgroup
   (cgroup locking wants to / should be one of the outermost but yet has
   been acquired from deep inside individual controllers).

 - At this point, Li is most knowlegeable with cpuset and taking over

Tejun Heo 5d21cc2db0 cpuset: replace cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking
Supposedly for historical reasons, cpuset depends on cgroup core for
locking.  It depends on cgroup_mutex in cgroup callbacks and grabs
cgroup_mutex from other places where it wants to be synchronized.
This is majorly messy and highly prone to introducing circular locking
dependency especially because cgroup_mutex is supposed to be one of
the outermost locks.

As previous patches already plugged possible races which may happen by
decoupling from cgroup_mutex, replacing cgroup_mutex with cpuset
specific cpuset_mutex is mostly straight-forward.  Introduce
cpuset_mutex, replace all occurrences of cgroup_mutex with it, and add
cpuset_mutex locking to places which inherited cgroup_mutex from
cgroup core.

The only complication is from cpuset wanting to initiate task
migration when a cpuset loses all cpus or memory nodes.  Task
migration may go through full cgroup and all subsystem locking and
should be initiated without holding any cpuset specific lock; however,
a previous patch already made hotplug handled asynchronously and
moving the task migration part outside other locks is easy.
cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() now invokes
remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() without holding any lock.

Tejun Heo 02bb586372 cpuset: schedule hotplug propagation from cpuset_attach() if the cpuset is empty
cpuset is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_lock which will make
hotplug handling race with task migration.  cpus or mems will be
allowed to go offline between ->can_attach() and ->attach().  If
hotplug takes down all cpus or mems of a cpuset while attach is in
progress, ->attach() may end up putting tasks into an empty cpuset.

This patchset makes ->attach() schedule hotplug propagation if the
cpuset is empty after attaching is complete.  This will move the tasks
to the nearest ancestor which can execute and the end result would be
as if hotplug handling happened after the tasks finished attaching.

cpuset_write_resmask() now also flushes cpuset_propagate_hotplug_wq to
wait for propagations scheduled directly by cpuset_attach().

This currently doesn't make any functional difference as everything is
protected by cgroup_mutex but enables decoupling the locking.

Tejun Heo 452477fa68 cpuset: pin down cpus and mems while a task is being attached
cpuset is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_lock which will make
configuration updates race with task migration.  Any config update
will be allowed to happen between ->can_attach() and ->attach().  If
such config update removes either all cpus or mems, by the time
->attach() is called, the condition verified by ->can_attach(), that
the cpuset is capable of hosting the tasks, is no longer true.

This patch adds cpuset->attach_in_progress which is incremented from
->can_attach() and decremented when the attach operation finishes
either successfully or not.  validate_change() treats cpusets w/
non-zero ->attach_in_progress like cpusets w/ tasks and refuses to
remove all cpus or mems from it.

This currently doesn't make any functional difference as everything is
protected by cgroup_mutex but enables decoupling the locking.

Tejun Heo 8d03394877 cpuset: make CPU / memory hotplug propagation asynchronous
cpuset_hotplug_workfn() has been invoking cpuset_propagate_hotplug()
directly to propagate hotplug updates to !root cpusets; however, this
has the following problems.

* cpuset locking is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_mutex,
  cgroup_mutex will be unexported, and cgroup_attach_task() will do
  cgroup locking internally, so propagation can't synchronously move
  tasks to a parent cgroup while walking the hierarchy.

* We can't use cgroup generic tree iterator because propagation to
  each cpuset may sleep.  With propagation done asynchronously, we can
  lose the rather ugly cpuset specific iteration.

Convert cpuset_propagate_hotplug() to
cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() and execute it from newly added
cpuset->hotplug_work.  The work items are run on an ordered workqueue,
so the propagation order is preserved.  cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
schedules all propagations while holding cgroup_mutex and waits for
completion without cgroup_mutex.  Each in-flight propagation holds a
reference to the cpuset->css.

This patch doesn't cause any functional difference.

Tejun Heo 699140ba83 cpuset: drop async_rebuild_sched_domains()
In general, we want to make cgroup_mutex one of the outermost locks
and be able to use get_online_cpus() and friends from cgroup methods.
With cpuset hotplug made async, get_online_cpus() can now be nested
inside cgroup_mutex.

Currently, cpuset avoids nesting get_online_cpus() inside cgroup_mutex
by bouncing sched_domain rebuilding to a work item.  As such nesting
is allowed now, remove the workqueue bouncing code and always rebuild
sched_domains synchronously.  This also nests sched_domains_mutex
inside cgroup_mutex, which is intended and should be okay.

Tejun Heo 3a5a6d0c2b cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside get_online_cpus()
CPU / memory hotplug path currently grabs cgroup_mutex from hotplug
event notifications.  We want to separate cpuset locking from cgroup
core and make cgroup_mutex outer to hotplug synchronization so that,
among other things, mechanisms which depend on get_online_cpus() can
be used from cgroup callbacks.  In general, we want to keep
cgroup_mutex the outermost lock to minimize locking interactions among
different controllers.

Convert cpuset_handle_hotplug() to cpuset_hotplug_workfn() and
schedule it from the hotplug notifications.  As the function can
already handle multiple mixed events without any input, converting it
to a work function is mostly trivial; however, one complication is
that cpuset_update_active_cpus() needs to update sched domains
synchronously to reflect an offlined cpu to avoid confusing the
scheduler.  This is worked around by falling back to the the default
single sched domain synchronously before scheduling the actual hotplug
work.  This makes sched domain rebuilt twice per CPU hotplug event but
the operation isn't that heavy and a lot of the second operation would
be noop for systems w/ single sched domain, which is the common case.

This decouples cpuset hotplug handling from the notification callbacks
and there can be an arbitrary delay between the actual event and
updates to cpusets.  Scheduler and mm can handle it fine but moving
tasks out of an empty cpuset may race against writes to the cpuset
restoring execution resources which can lead to confusing behavior.
Flush hotplug work item from cpuset_write_resmask() to avoid such
confusions.

v2: Synchronous sched domain rebuilding using the fallback sched
    domain added.  This fixes various issues caused by confused
    scheduler putting tasks on a dead CPU, including the one reported
    by Li Zefan.

Tejun Heo deb7aa308e cpuset: reorganize CPU / memory hotplug handling
Reorganize hotplug path to prepare for async hotplug handling.

* Both CPU and memory hotplug handlings are collected into a single
  function - cpuset_handle_hotplug().  It doesn't take any argument
  but compares the current setttings of top_cpuset against what's
  actually available to determine what happened.  This function
  directly updates top_cpuset.  If there are CPUs or memory nodes
  which are taken down, cpuset_propagate_hotplug() in invoked on all
  !root cpusets.

* cpuset_propagate_hotplug() is responsible for updating the specified
  cpuset so that it doesn't include any resource which isn't available
  to top_cpuset.  If no CPU or memory is left after update, all tasks
  are moved to the nearest ancestor with both resources.

* update_tasks_cpumask() and update_tasks_nodemask() are now always
  called after cpus or mems masks are updated even if the cpuset
  doesn't have any task.  This is for brevity and not expected to have
  any measureable effect.

* cpu_active_mask and N_HIGH_MEMORY are read exactly once per
  cpuset_handle_hotplug() invocation, all cpusets share the same view
  of what resources are available, and cpuset_handle_hotplug() can
  handle multiple resources going up and down.  These properties will
  allow async operation.

The reorganization, while drastic, is equivalent and shouldn't cause
any behavior difference.  This will enable making hotplug handling
async and remove get_online_cpus() -> cgroup_mutex nesting.

Srivatsa S. Bhat 80d1fa6463 cpusets, hotplug: Implement cpuset tree traversal in a helper function
At present, the functions that deal with cpusets during CPU/Mem hotplug
are quite messy, since a lot of the functionality is mixed up without clear
separation. And this takes a toll on optimization as well. For example,
the function cpuset_update_active_cpus() is called on both CPU offline and CPU
online events; and it invokes scan_for_empty_cpusets(), which makes sense
only for CPU offline events. And hence, the current code ends up unnecessarily
traversing the cpuset tree during CPU online also.

As a first step towards cleaning up those functions, encapsulate the cpuset
tree traversal in a helper function, so as to facilitate upcoming changes.

Srivatsa S. Bhat d35be8bab9 CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume
In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed
masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets
have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is
destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset
configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations.

However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which
the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to
exactly the same state it was in before suspend.

In order to achieve that, do the following:

1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all.
   In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and
   don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets
   during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the
   suspend/resume path.

2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid
   altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build
   a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the
   CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring
   the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.

   (Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.)

3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched
   domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
   That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in
   before suspend.

Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend
resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by
not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid
running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

Peter Zijlstra 2baab4e904 sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online
Commit 5fbd036b55 ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness"), which was
supposed to finally sort the cpu_active mess, instead uncovered more.

Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a
(small) window where the cpu has active,!online.

If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on
that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an
alternative cpu to run on since we find !online.

select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against
cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out
with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active.

This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and
triggering a WARN in the IPI code.

The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in
set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use
set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with
IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or
the race from fd8a7de17 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on
wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower.

[ By setting online first and active later we have a window of
  online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and
  since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in
  select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset
  of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ]

The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active
_and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected,
OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now
vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de17 -- these are alpha and
blackfin.

Mel Gorman cc9a6c8776 cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.

[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths.  This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32.  The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.

For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.

This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.

While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.

In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The
actual results were

    Total Elapsed Time (seconds)                123.46    120.87

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.

For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.

To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.

Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

Li Zefan 761b3ef50e cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks
The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because
a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it
belongs to.

Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of
this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().

So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size
is minimal.

David Rientjes b246272ecc cpusets: stall when updating mems_allowed for mempolicy or disjoint nodemask
Kernels where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG may temporarily see an empty
nodemask in a tsk's mempolicy if its previous nodemask is remapped onto a
new set of allowed cpuset nodes where the two nodemasks, as a result of
the remap, are now disjoint.

c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing
cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed
nodes from changing for a thread.  This causes any update to a set of
allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called.

This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged
in the update to the set of allowed nodes.  This was addressed by
89e8a244b9 ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one
node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be
read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new
nodemask during rebind.  To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is
no mempolicy for the thread being changed.

This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can
be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed()
synchronization.

Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that
tsk->mems_allowed cannot change.  This ensures that nothing can set this
tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.
