Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

Add cgroupstats This patch is inspired by the discussion at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263. The patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward ported) This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses code from the taskstats interface. A new set of cgroup operations are registered with commands and attributes. It should be very easy to *extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats structure. The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add. Currently user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file descriptor. Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup is returned to user space. TODO's/NOTE: This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics. Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics, event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats into cgroup statistics in the future. Sample output # ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0 # ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/ sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0 If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for the same Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!

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.

cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references. If there are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries ->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is cancelled. This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal implementation details (references to internal data structure) with externally visible operation (rmdir). To userland, this is a behavior peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations, this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang). Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new behavior. This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set. Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old behavior as proposed in the following patch. Note that the following patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and __css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251 Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please get moving.

cgroup: use percpu refcnt for cgroup_subsys_states A css (cgroup_subsys_state) is how each cgroup is represented to a controller. As such, it can be used in hot paths across the various subsystems different controllers are associated with. One of the common operations is reference counting, which up until now has been implemented using a global atomic counter and can have significant adverse impact on scalability. For example, css refcnt can be gotten and put multiple times by blkcg for each IO request. For highops configurations which try to do as much per-cpu as possible, the global frequent refcnting can be very expensive. In general, given the various and hugely diverse paths css's end up being used from, we need to make it cheap and highly scalable. In its usage, css refcnting isn't very different from module refcnting. This patch converts css refcnting to use the recently added percpu_ref. css_get/tryget/put() directly maps to the matching percpu_ref operations and the deactivation logic is no longer necessary as percpu_ref already has refcnt killing. The only complication is that as the refcnt is per-cpu, percpu_ref_kill() in itself doesn't ensure that further tryget operations will fail, which we need to guarantee before invoking ->css_offline()'s. This is resolved collecting kill confirmation using percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and initiating the offline phase of destruction after all css refcnt's are confirmed to be seen as killed on all CPUs. The previous patches already splitted destruction into two phases, so percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() can be hooked up easily. This patch removes css_refcnt() which is used for rcu dereference sanity check in css_id(). While we can add a percpu refcnt API to ask the same question, css_id() itself is scheduled to be removed fairly soon, so let's not bother with it. Just drop the sanity check and use rcu_dereference_raw() instead. v2: - init_cgroup_css() was calling percpu_ref_init() without checking the return value. This causes two problems - the obvious lack of error handling and percpu_ref_init() being called from cgroup_init_subsys() before the allocators are up, which triggers warnings but doesn't cause actual problems as the refcnt isn't used for roots anyway. Fix both by moving percpu_ref_init() to cgroup_create(). - The base references were put too early by percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and cgroup_offline_fn() put the refs one extra time. This wasn't noticeable because css's go through another RCU grace period before being freed. Update cgroup_destroy_locked() to grab an extra reference before killing the refcnts. This problem was noticed by Kent.

cgroup: use percpu refcnt for cgroup_subsys_states A css (cgroup_subsys_state) is how each cgroup is represented to a controller. As such, it can be used in hot paths across the various subsystems different controllers are associated with. One of the common operations is reference counting, which up until now has been implemented using a global atomic counter and can have significant adverse impact on scalability. For example, css refcnt can be gotten and put multiple times by blkcg for each IO request. For highops configurations which try to do as much per-cpu as possible, the global frequent refcnting can be very expensive. In general, given the various and hugely diverse paths css's end up being used from, we need to make it cheap and highly scalable. In its usage, css refcnting isn't very different from module refcnting. This patch converts css refcnting to use the recently added percpu_ref. css_get/tryget/put() directly maps to the matching percpu_ref operations and the deactivation logic is no longer necessary as percpu_ref already has refcnt killing. The only complication is that as the refcnt is per-cpu, percpu_ref_kill() in itself doesn't ensure that further tryget operations will fail, which we need to guarantee before invoking ->css_offline()'s. This is resolved collecting kill confirmation using percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and initiating the offline phase of destruction after all css refcnt's are confirmed to be seen as killed on all CPUs. The previous patches already splitted destruction into two phases, so percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() can be hooked up easily. This patch removes css_refcnt() which is used for rcu dereference sanity check in css_id(). While we can add a percpu refcnt API to ask the same question, css_id() itself is scheduled to be removed fairly soon, so let's not bother with it. Just drop the sanity check and use rcu_dereference_raw() instead. v2: - init_cgroup_css() was calling percpu_ref_init() without checking the return value. This causes two problems - the obvious lack of error handling and percpu_ref_init() being called from cgroup_init_subsys() before the allocators are up, which triggers warnings but doesn't cause actual problems as the refcnt isn't used for roots anyway. Fix both by moving percpu_ref_init() to cgroup_create(). - The base references were put too early by percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and cgroup_offline_fn() put the refs one extra time. This wasn't noticeable because css's go through another RCU grace period before being freed. Update cgroup_destroy_locked() to grab an extra reference before killing the refcnts. This problem was noticed by Kent.

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.

cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references. If there are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries ->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is cancelled. This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal implementation details (references to internal data structure) with externally visible operation (rmdir). To userland, this is a behavior peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations, this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang). Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new behavior. This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set. Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old behavior as proposed in the following patch. Note that the following patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and __css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251 Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please get moving.

cgroup: RCU protect each cgroup_subsys_state release With the planned unified hierarchy, individual css's will be created and destroyed dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. To enable such usages, css destruction is being decoupled from cgroup destruction. Most of the destruction path has been decoupled but the actual free of css still depends on cgroup free path. When all css refs are drained, css_release() kicks off css_free_work_fn() which puts the cgroup. When the cgroup refcnt reaches zero, cgroup_diput() is invoked which in turn schedules RCU free of the cgroup. After a grace period, all css's are freed along with the cgroup itself. This patch moves the RCU grace period and css freeing from cgroup release path to css release path. css_release(), instead of kicking off css_free_work_fn() directly, schedules RCU callback css_free_rcu_fn() which in turn kicks off css_free_work_fn() after a RCU grace period. css_free_work_fn() is updated to free the css directly. The five-way punting - percpu ref kill confirmation, a work item, percpu ref release, RCU grace period, and again a work item - is quite hairy but the work items are there only to provide process context and the actual sequence is kill confirm -> release -> RCU free, which isn't simple but not too crazy. This removes cgroup_css() usage after offline_css() allowing clearing cgroup->subsys[] from offline_css(), which makes it consistent with online_css() and brings it closer to proper lifetime management for individual css's.

cgroup: use percpu refcnt for cgroup_subsys_states A css (cgroup_subsys_state) is how each cgroup is represented to a controller. As such, it can be used in hot paths across the various subsystems different controllers are associated with. One of the common operations is reference counting, which up until now has been implemented using a global atomic counter and can have significant adverse impact on scalability. For example, css refcnt can be gotten and put multiple times by blkcg for each IO request. For highops configurations which try to do as much per-cpu as possible, the global frequent refcnting can be very expensive. In general, given the various and hugely diverse paths css's end up being used from, we need to make it cheap and highly scalable. In its usage, css refcnting isn't very different from module refcnting. This patch converts css refcnting to use the recently added percpu_ref. css_get/tryget/put() directly maps to the matching percpu_ref operations and the deactivation logic is no longer necessary as percpu_ref already has refcnt killing. The only complication is that as the refcnt is per-cpu, percpu_ref_kill() in itself doesn't ensure that further tryget operations will fail, which we need to guarantee before invoking ->css_offline()'s. This is resolved collecting kill confirmation using percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and initiating the offline phase of destruction after all css refcnt's are confirmed to be seen as killed on all CPUs. The previous patches already splitted destruction into two phases, so percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() can be hooked up easily. This patch removes css_refcnt() which is used for rcu dereference sanity check in css_id(). While we can add a percpu refcnt API to ask the same question, css_id() itself is scheduled to be removed fairly soon, so let's not bother with it. Just drop the sanity check and use rcu_dereference_raw() instead. v2: - init_cgroup_css() was calling percpu_ref_init() without checking the return value. This causes two problems - the obvious lack of error handling and percpu_ref_init() being called from cgroup_init_subsys() before the allocators are up, which triggers warnings but doesn't cause actual problems as the refcnt isn't used for roots anyway. Fix both by moving percpu_ref_init() to cgroup_create(). - The base references were put too early by percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and cgroup_offline_fn() put the refs one extra time.

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.

cgroup: introduce sane_behavior mount option It's a sad fact that at this point various cgroup controllers are carrying so many idiosyncrasies and pure insanities that it simply isn't possible to reach any sort of sane consistent behavior while maintaining staying fully compatible with what already has been exposed to userland. As we can't break exposed userland interface, transitioning to sane behaviors can only be done in steps while maintaining backwards compatibility. This patch introduces a new mount option - __DEVEL__sane_behavior - which disables crazy features and enforces consistent behaviors in cgroup core proper and various controllers. As exactly which behaviors it changes are still being determined, the mount option, at this point, is useful only for development of the new behaviors. As such, the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__ and generates a warning message when used. Eventually, once we get to the point where all controller's behaviors are consistent enough to implement unified hierarchy, the __DEVEL__ prefix will be dropped, and more importantly, unified-hierarchy will enforce sane_behavior by default. Maybe we'll able to completely drop the crazy stuff after a while, maybe not, but we at least have a strategy to move on to saner behaviors. This patch introduces the mount option and changes the following behaviors in cgroup core. * Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed. Also, cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created. * When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match. This is currently pretty crazy. If one mounts a cgroup, creates a subdirectory, unmounts it and then mount it again with different option, it looks like the new options are applied but they aren't. * Remount is disallowed. The behaviors changes are documented in the comment above CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR enum and will be expanded as different controllers are converted and planned improvements progress. v2: Dropped unnecessary explicit file permission setting sane_behavior cftype entry as suggested by Li Zefan.

Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

cgroup: add cgroup->serial_nr and implement cgroup_next_sibling() Currently, there's no easy way to find out the next sibling cgroup unless it's known that the current cgroup is accessed from the parent's children list in a single RCU critical section. This in turn forces all iterators to require whole iteration to be enclosed in a single RCU critical section, which sometimes is too restrictive. This patch implements cgroup_next_sibling() which can reliably determine the next sibling regardless of the state of the current cgroup as long as it's accessible. It currently is impossible to determine the next sibling after dropping RCU read lock because the cgroup being iterated could be removed anytime and if RCU read lock is dropped, nothing guarantess its ->sibling.next pointer is accessible. A removed cgroup would continue to point to its next sibling for RCU accesses but stop receiving updates from the sibling. IOW, the next sibling could be removed and then complete its grace period while RCU read lock is dropped, making it unsafe to dereference ->sibling.next after dropping and re-acquiring RCU read lock. This can be solved by adding a way to traverse to the next sibling without dereferencing ->sibling.next. This patch adds a monotonically increasing cgroup serial number, cgroup->serial_nr, which guarantees that all cgroup->children lists are kept in increasing serial_nr order. A new function, cgroup_next_sibling(), is implemented, which, if CGRP_REMOVED is not set on the current cgroup, follows ->sibling.next; otherwise, traverses the parent's ->children list until it sees a sibling with higher ->serial_nr. This allows the function to always return the next sibling regardless of the state of the current cgroup without adding overhead in the fast path. Further patches will update the iterators to use cgroup_next_sibling() so that they allow dropping RCU read lock and blocking while iteration is in progress which in turn will be used to simplify controllers. v2: Typo fix as per Serge.

cgroup: use percpu refcnt for cgroup_subsys_states A css (cgroup_subsys_state) is how each cgroup is represented to a controller. As such, it can be used in hot paths across the various subsystems different controllers are associated with. One of the common operations is reference counting, which up until now has been implemented using a global atomic counter and can have significant adverse impact on scalability. For example, css refcnt can be gotten and put multiple times by blkcg for each IO request. For highops configurations which try to do as much per-cpu as possible, the global frequent refcnting can be very expensive. In general, given the various and hugely diverse paths css's end up being used from, we need to make it cheap and highly scalable. In its usage, css refcnting isn't very different from module refcnting. This patch converts css refcnting to use the recently added percpu_ref. css_get/tryget/put() directly maps to the matching percpu_ref operations and the deactivation logic is no longer necessary as percpu_ref already has refcnt killing. The only complication is that as the refcnt is per-cpu, percpu_ref_kill() in itself doesn't ensure that further tryget operations will fail, which we need to guarantee before invoking ->css_offline()'s. This is resolved collecting kill confirmation using percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and initiating the offline phase of destruction after all css refcnt's are confirmed to be seen as killed on all CPUs. The previous patches already splitted destruction into two phases, so percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() can be hooked up easily. This patch removes css_refcnt() which is used for rcu dereference sanity check in css_id(). While we can add a percpu refcnt API to ask the same question, css_id() itself is scheduled to be removed fairly soon, so let's not bother with it. Just drop the sanity check and use rcu_dereference_raw() instead. v2: - init_cgroup_css() was calling percpu_ref_init() without checking the return value. This causes two problems - the obvious lack of error handling and percpu_ref_init() being called from cgroup_init_subsys() before the allocators are up, which triggers warnings but doesn't cause actual problems as the refcnt isn't used for roots anyway. Fix both by moving percpu_ref_init() to cgroup_create(). - The base references were put too early by percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and cgroup_offline_fn() put the refs one extra time. This wasn't noticeable because css's go through another RCU grace period before being freed. Update cgroup_destroy_locked() to grab an extra reference before killing the refcnts. This problem was noticed by Kent.

To register new notification handler you need: - create an eventfd; - open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() must be defined for the control file; - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control. Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation; eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the cgroup is removed. To unregister notification handler just close eventfd. If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the struct cftype.

For use cases: >> What would the use case be for this? > > Attaching meta information to services, in an easily discoverable > way. For example, in systemd we create one cgroup for each service, and > could then store data like the main pid of the specific service as an > xattr on the cgroup itself. That way we'd have almost all service state > in the cgroupfs, which would make it possible to terminate systemd and > later restart it without losing any state information. But there's more: > for example, some very peculiar services cannot be terminated on > shutdown (i.e. fakeraid DM stuff) and it would be really nice if the > services in question could just mark that on their cgroup, by setting an > xattr. On the more desktopy side of things there are other > possibilities: for example there are plans defining what an application > is along the lines of a cgroup (i.e. an app being a collection of > processes). With xattrs one could then attach an icon or human readable > program name on the cgroup. > > The key idea is that this would allow attaching runtime meta information > to cgroups and everything they model (services, apps, vms), that doesn't > need any complex userspace infrastructure, has good access control > (i.e. because the file system enforces that anyway, and there's the > "trusted." xattr namespace), notifications (inotify), and can easily be > shared among applications. > > Lennart v7: - no changes v6: - remove user xattr namespace, only allow trusted and security v5: - check for capabilities before setting/removing xattrs v4: - no changes v3: - instead of config option, use mount option to enable xattr support Original-patch-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <dhillf@gmail.com> Cc: Lennart Poettering <lpoetter@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <aris@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Task Control Groups: shared cgroup subsystem group arrays Replace the struct css_set embedded in task_struct with a pointer; all tasks that have the same set of memberships across all hierarchies will share a css_set object, and will be linked via their css_sets field to the "tasks" list_head in the css_set. Assuming that many tasks share the same cgroup assignments, this reduces overall space usage and keeps the size of the task_struct down (three pointers added to task_struct compared to a non-cgroups kernel, no matter how many subsystems are registered).

cgroup: introduce sane_behavior mount option It's a sad fact that at this point various cgroup controllers are carrying so many idiosyncrasies and pure insanities that it simply isn't possible to reach any sort of sane consistent behavior while maintaining staying fully compatible with what already has been exposed to userland. As we can't break exposed userland interface, transitioning to sane behaviors can only be done in steps while maintaining backwards compatibility. This patch introduces a new mount option - __DEVEL__sane_behavior - which disables crazy features and enforces consistent behaviors in cgroup core proper and various controllers. As exactly which behaviors it changes are still being determined, the mount option, at this point, is useful only for development of the new behaviors. As such, the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__ and generates a warning message when used. Eventually, once we get to the point where all controller's behaviors are consistent enough to implement unified hierarchy, the __DEVEL__ prefix will be dropped, and more importantly, unified-hierarchy will enforce sane_behavior by default. Maybe we'll able to completely drop the crazy stuff after a while, maybe not, but we at least have a strategy to move on to saner behaviors. This patch introduces the mount option and changes the following behaviors in cgroup core. * Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed. Also, cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created. * When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match. This is currently pretty crazy. If one mounts a cgroup, creates a subdirectory, unmounts it and then mount it again with different option, it looks like the new options are applied but they aren't. * Remount is disallowed. The behaviors changes are documented in the comment above CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR enum and will be expanded as different controllers are converted and planned improvements progress. v2: Dropped unnecessary explicit file permission setting sane_behavior cftype entry as suggested by Li Zefan.

* Unfortunately, cgroup core and various controllers are riddled
* with idiosyncrasies and pointless options. The following flag,
* when set, will force sane behavior - some options are forced on,
* others are disallowed, and some controllers will change their
* hierarchical or other behaviors.
*
* The set of behaviors affected by this flag are still being
* determined and developed and the mount option for this flag is
* prefixed with __DEVEL__. The prefix will be dropped once we
* reach the point where all behaviors are compatible with the
* planned unified hierarchy, which will automatically turn on this
* flag.
*
* The followings are the behaviors currently affected this flag.
*
* - Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed.
* Also, cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created.
*
* - When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should
* match.
*
* - Remount is disallowed.

Merge branch 'for-3.11-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo: "cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup right after creation didn't allow any task executions before configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the descendants irreversibly and so on. These behaviors are inherently nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy. Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for __DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull request. It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior. In the process, the rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified." * 'for-3.11-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cpuset: rename @cont to @cgrp cpuset: fix to migrate mm correctly in a corner case cpuset: allow to move tasks to empty cpusets cpuset: allow to keep tasks in empty cpusets cpuset: introduce effective_{cpumask|nodemask}_cpuset() cpuset: record old_mems_allowed in struct cpuset cpuset: remove async hotplug propagation work cpuset: let hotplug propagation work wait for task attaching cpuset: re-structure update_cpumask() a bit cpuset: remove cpuset_test_cpumask() cpuset: remove unnecessary variable in cpuset_attach() cpuset: cleanup guarantee_online_{cpus|mems}() cpuset: remove redundant check in cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback()

Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

cgroup: implement cgroup_add_cftypes() and friends Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate() callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation. This level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable. It provides largely unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions. Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be expressed with flags. This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes(). These deal with cftypes instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types of files exist for certain subsystem. Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on the root cgroup. cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target subsystem is currently attached or not. cgroup core will create files on the existing cgroups as necessary. Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the base files for the subsystem. If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys init / load. Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file based interface. Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of files to an active controller. This will be used for sub-controller modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term. This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any user. v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys which is loaded as module.

cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in file methods cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup. Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods for rationale. This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of @cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the previous patch and can be converted the same way. Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some interesting ones. * freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler too once iterators are converted to use css. * memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.

Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

cgroup: implement cgroup_add_cftypes() and friends Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate() callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation. This level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable. It provides largely unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions. Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be expressed with flags. This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes(). These deal with cftypes instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types of files exist for certain subsystem. Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on the root cgroup. cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target subsystem is currently attached or not. cgroup core will create files on the existing cgroups as necessary. Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the base files for the subsystem. If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys init / load. Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file based interface. Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of files to an active controller. This will be used for sub-controller modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term. This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any user. v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys which is loaded as module.

cgroup: introduce sane_behavior mount option It's a sad fact that at this point various cgroup controllers are carrying so many idiosyncrasies and pure insanities that it simply isn't possible to reach any sort of sane consistent behavior while maintaining staying fully compatible with what already has been exposed to userland. As we can't break exposed userland interface, transitioning to sane behaviors can only be done in steps while maintaining backwards compatibility. This patch introduces a new mount option - __DEVEL__sane_behavior - which disables crazy features and enforces consistent behaviors in cgroup core proper and various controllers. As exactly which behaviors it changes are still being determined, the mount option, at this point, is useful only for development of the new behaviors. As such, the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__ and generates a warning message when used. Eventually, once we get to the point where all controller's behaviors are consistent enough to implement unified hierarchy, the __DEVEL__ prefix will be dropped, and more importantly, unified-hierarchy will enforce sane_behavior by default. Maybe we'll able to completely drop the crazy stuff after a while, maybe not, but we at least have a strategy to move on to saner behaviors. This patch introduces the mount option and changes the following behaviors in cgroup core. * Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed. Also, cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created. * When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match. This is currently pretty crazy. If one mounts a cgroup, creates a subdirectory, unmounts it and then mount it again with different option, it looks like the new options are applied but they aren't. * Remount is disallowed. The behaviors changes are documented in the comment above CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR enum and will be expanded as different controllers are converted and planned improvements progress. v2: Dropped unnecessary explicit file permission setting sane_behavior cftype entry as suggested by Li Zefan.

cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot time The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.

cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references. If there are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries ->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is cancelled. This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal implementation details (references to internal data structure) with externally visible operation (rmdir). To userland, this is a behavior peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations, this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang). Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new behavior. This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set. Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old behavior as proposed in the following patch. Note that the following patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and __css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251 Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please get moving.

cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal.

cgroups: add a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock().

It is taken by the cgroup subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations: - linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree - unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree - moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the bind() callback) Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely traverse its own hierarchy.

Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

cgroup: implement cgroup_add_cftypes() and friends Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate() callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation. This level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable. It provides largely unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions. Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be expressed with flags. This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes(). These deal with cftypes instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types of files exist for certain subsystem. Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on the root cgroup. cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target subsystem is currently attached or not. cgroup core will create files on the existing cgroups as necessary. Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the base files for the subsystem. If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys init / load. Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file based interface. Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of files to an active controller. This will be used for sub-controller modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term. This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any user. v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys which is loaded as module.

cgroup: add cgroup->serial_nr and implement cgroup_next_sibling() Currently, there's no easy way to find out the next sibling cgroup unless it's known that the current cgroup is accessed from the parent's children list in a single RCU critical section. This in turn forces all iterators to require whole iteration to be enclosed in a single RCU critical section, which sometimes is too restrictive. This patch implements cgroup_next_sibling() which can reliably determine the next sibling regardless of the state of the current cgroup as long as it's accessible. It currently is impossible to determine the next sibling after dropping RCU read lock because the cgroup being iterated could be removed anytime and if RCU read lock is dropped, nothing guarantess its ->sibling.next pointer is accessible. A removed cgroup would continue to point to its next sibling for RCU accesses but stop receiving updates from the sibling. IOW, the next sibling could be removed and then complete its grace period while RCU read lock is dropped, making it unsafe to dereference ->sibling.next after dropping and re-acquiring RCU read lock. This can be solved by adding a way to traverse to the next sibling without dereferencing ->sibling.next. This patch adds a monotonically increasing cgroup serial number, cgroup->serial_nr, which guarantees that all cgroup->children lists are kept in increasing serial_nr order. A new function, cgroup_next_sibling(), is implemented, which, if CGRP_REMOVED is not set on the current cgroup, follows ->sibling.next; otherwise, traverses the parent's ->children list until it sees a sibling with higher ->serial_nr. This allows the function to always return the next sibling regardless of the state of the current cgroup without adding overhead in the fast path. Further patches will update the iterators to use cgroup_next_sibling() so that they allow dropping RCU read lock and blocking while iteration is in progress which in turn will be used to simplify controllers. v2: Typo fix as per Serge.

cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin (root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway; however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that including origin would result in simpler code overall. While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup API including the iterators has recently gone through major restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this type of change. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added.

cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin (root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway; however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that including origin would result in simpler code overall. While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup API including the iterators has recently gone through major restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this type of change. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added.

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.

Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

Add cgroupstats This patch is inspired by the discussion at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263. The patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward ported) This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses code from the taskstats interface. A new set of cgroup operations are registered with commands and attributes. It should be very easy to *extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats structure. The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add. Currently user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file descriptor. Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup is returned to user space. TODO's/NOTE: This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics. Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics, event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats into cgroup statistics in the future. Sample output # ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0 # ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/ sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0 If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for the same Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!
