cgroup: remove incorrect dget/dput() pair in cgroup_create_dir()

2013-01-11T17:03:47Z

commit 175431635ec09b1d1bba04979b006b99e8305a83 upstream. cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt. On success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing. On failure, it puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /work/os/work/fs/dcache.c:552! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: CPU 2 Pid: 697, comm: mkdir Not tainted 3.7.0-rc4-work+ #3 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[] [] dput+0x1dc/0x1e0 RSP: 0018:ffff88001a3ebef8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88000e5b1ef8 RCX: 0000000000000403 RDX: 0000000000000303 RSI: 2000000000000000 RDI: ffff88000e5b1f58 RBP: ffff88001a3ebf18 R08: ffffffff82c76960 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: ffff880015022080 R11: ffd9bed70f48a041 R12: 00000000ffffffea R13: 0000000000000001 R14: ffff88000e5b1f58 R15: 00007fff57656d60 FS: 00007ff05fcb3800(0000) GS:ffff88001fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000004046f0 CR3: 000000001315f000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process mkdir (pid: 697, threadinfo ffff88001a3ea000, task ffff880015022080) Stack: ffff88001a3ebf48 00000000ffffffea 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 ffff88001a3ebf38 ffffffff811cc889 0000000000000001 ffff88000e5b1ef8 ffff88001a3ebf68 ffffffff811d1fc9 ffff8800198d7f18 ffff880019106ef8 Call Trace: [] done_path_create+0x19/0x50 [] sys_mkdirat+0x59/0x80 [] sys_mkdir+0x19/0x20 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 00 48 8d 90 18 01 00 00 48 89 93 c0 00 00 00 4c 89 a0 18 01 00 00 48 8b 83 a0 00 00 00 83 80 28 01 00 00 01 e8 e6 6f a0 00 eb 92 <0f> 0b 66 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 57 41 56 49 89 fe 41 RIP [] dput+0x1dc/0x1e0 RSP ---[ end trace 1277bcfd9561ddb0 ]--- Fix it by dropping the unnecessary dget/dput() pair.

cgroup: notify_on_release may not be triggered in some cases

2012-10-28T17:02:12Z

commit 1f5320d5972aa50d3e8d2b227b636b370e608359 upstream. notify_on_release must be triggered when the last process in a cgroup is move to another. But if the first(and only) process in a cgroup is moved to another, notify_on_release is not triggered. # mkdir /cgroup/cpu/SRC # mkdir /cgroup/cpu/DST # # echo 1 >/cgroup/cpu/SRC/notify_on_release # echo 1 >/cgroup/cpu/DST/notify_on_release # # sleep 300 & [1] 8629 # # echo 8629 >/cgroup/cpu/SRC/tasks # echo 8629 >/cgroup/cpu/DST/tasks -> notify_on_release for /SRC must be triggered at this point, but it isn't. This is because put_css_set() is called before setting CGRP_RELEASABLE in cgroup_task_migrate(), and is a regression introduce by the commit:74a1166d(cgroups: make procs file writable), which was merged into v3.0.

cgroup: fix to allow mounting a hierarchy by name

2012-01-12T19:35:08Z

commit 0d19ea866562e46989412a0676412fa0983c9ce7 upstream. If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique, and we can use it to mount the hierarchy without specifying its set of subsystem names. This feature is documented is Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3 Here's an example: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1 # mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2 But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e2f192eb002755076994525cdbaa35a (cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate) This fixes the regression.

cgroups: fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_proc

2012-01-06T22:13:53Z

commit e0197aae59e55c06db172bfbe1a1cdb8c0e1cab3 upstream. There is a BUG when migrating a PF_EXITING proc. Since css_set_prefetch() is not called for the PF_EXITING case, find_existing_css_set() will return NULL inside cgroup_task_migrate() causing a BUG. This bug is easy to reproduce. Create a zombie and echo its pid to cgroup.procs. $ cat zombie.c \#include int main() { if (fork()) pause(); return 0; } $ We are hitting this bug pretty regularly on ChromeOS. This bug is already fixed by Tejun Heo's cgroup patchset which is targetted for the next merge window: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/1/356 I've create a smaller patch here which just fixes this bug so that a fix can be merged into the current release and stable.

cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup

2011-05-27T00:12:34Z

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and leads to some problems: * cgroup creation is out-of-control * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children', where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values. The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to the 'tasks' file. This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used. This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn Cc: Eric W.

cgroups: use flex_array in attach_proc

2011-05-27T00:12:34Z

Convert cgroup_attach_proc to use flex_array. The cgroup_attach_proc implementation requires a pre-allocated array to store task pointers to atomically move a thread-group, but asking for a monolithic array with kmalloc() may be unreliable for very large groups. Using flex_array provides the same functionality with less risk of failure. This is a post-patch for cgroup-procs-write.patch. Signed-off-by: Ben Blum Cc: "Eric W.

cgroups: make procs file writable

2011-05-27T00:12:34Z

Make procs file writable to move all threads by tgid at once. Add functionality that enables users to move all threads in a threadgroup at once to a cgroup by writing the tgid to the 'cgroup.procs' file. This current implementation makes use of a per-threadgroup rwsem that's taken for reading in the fork() path to prevent newly forking threads within the threadgroup from "escaping" while the move is in progress.

cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks

2011-05-27T00:12:34Z

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.
