cgroup: revert ss_id_lock to spinlock

2012-03-22T00:55:01Z

Commit c1e2ee2dc436 ("memcg: replace ss->id_lock with a rwlock") has now been seen to cause the unfair behavior we should have expected from converting a spinlock to an rwlock: softlockup in cgroup_mkdir(), whose get_new_cssid() is waiting for the wlock, while there are 19 tasks using the rlock in css_get_next() to get on with their memcg workload (in an artificial test, admittedly). Yet lib/idr.c was made suitable for RCU way back: revert that commit, restoring ss->id_lock to a spinlock.

cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks

2012-02-02T17:20:22Z

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. 16 files changed, 113 insertions(+), 162 deletions(-) text data bss dec hex filename 5486240 656987 7039960 13183187 c928d3 vmlinux.o.orig 5486170 656987 7039960 13183117 c9288d vmlinux.o Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

It's just a wrapper of cgroup_attach_task_all(), and it's no longer used after commit 87d6a412bd1ed82c14cabd4b408003b23bbd2880 (vhost: fix attach to cgroups regression) Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Fix up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c due to commit e0197aae59e5: "cgroups: fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_proc" that already mentioned that the bug is fixed (differently) in Tejun's cgroup patchset. This one, in other words.

cgroup: introduce cgroup_taskset and use it in subsys->can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach()

2011-12-13T02:12:21Z

Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys methods. Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so that all methods have access to all information. Conversions in this patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change. -v2: documentation updated as per Paul Menage's suggestion.

memcg: replace ss->id_lock with a rwlock

2011-11-02T23:07:03Z

While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy walk). Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves. Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine. Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers. Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.
