cgroup: use a dedicated workqueue for cgroup destruction

2013-12-04T18:57:20Z

commit e5fca243abae1445afbfceebda5f08462ef869d3 upstream. Since be44562613851 ("cgroup: remove synchronize_rcu() from cgroup_diput()"), cgroup destruction path makes use of workqueue. css freeing is performed from a work item from that point on and a later commit, ea15f8ccdb430 ("cgroup: split cgroup destruction into two steps"), moves css offlining to workqueue too. As cgroup destruction isn't depended upon for memory reclaim, the destruction work items were put on the system_wq; unfortunately, some controller may block in the destruction path for considerable duration while holding cgroup_mutex. As large part of destruction path is synchronized through cgroup_mutex, when combined with high rate of cgroup removals, this has potential to fill up system_wq's max_active of 256. Also, it turns out that memcg's css destruction path ends up queueing and waiting for work items on system_wq through work_on_cpu(). If such operation happens while system_wq is fully occupied by cgroup destruction work items, work_on_cpu() can't make forward progress because system_wq is full and other destruction work items on system_wq can't make forward progress because the work item waiting for work_on_cpu() is holding cgroup_mutex, leading to deadlock. This can be fixed by queueing destruction work items on a separate workqueue. This patch creates a dedicated workqueue - cgroup_destroy_wq - for this purpose. As these work items shouldn't have inter-dependencies and mostly serialized by cgroup_mutex anyway, giving high concurrency level doesn't buy anything and the workqueue's @max_active is set to 1 so that destruction work items are executed one by one on each CPU. Hugh Dickins: Because cgroup_init() is run before init_workqueues(), cgroup_destroy_wq can't be allocated from cgroup_init(). Do it from a separate core_initcall(). In the future, we probably want to reorder so that workqueue init happens before cgroup_init().

cgroup: fix to break the while loop in cgroup_attach_task() correctly

2013-11-13T03:05:30Z

commit ea84753c98a7ac6b74e530b64c444a912b3835ca upstream. Both Anjana and Eunki reported a stall in the while_each_thread loop in cgroup_attach_task(). It's because, when we attach a single thread to a cgroup, if the cgroup is exiting or is already in that cgroup, we won't break the loop. If the task is already in the cgroup, the bug can lead to another thread being attached to the cgroup unexpectedly: # echo 5207 > tasks # cat tasks 5207 # echo 5207 > tasks # cat tasks 5207 5215 What's worse, if the task to be attached isn't the leader of the thread group, we might never exit the loop, hence cpu stall. Thanks for Oleg's analysis. This bug was introduced by commit 081aa458c38ba576bdd4265fc807fa95b48b9e79 ("cgroup: consolidate cgroup_attach_task() and cgroup_attach_proc()") [ lizf: - fixed the first continue, pointed out by Oleg, - rewrote changelog. ] Reported-by: Eunki Kim Reported-by: Anjana V Kumar Signed-off-by: Anjana V Kumar Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cgroup: fix umount vs cgroup_cfts_commit() race

2013-08-12T01:35:24Z

commit 084457f284abf6789d90509ee11dae383842b23b upstream. cgroup_cfts_commit() uses dget() to keep cgroup alive after cgroup_mutex is dropped, but dget() won't prevent cgroupfs from being umounted. When the race happens, vfs will see some dentries with non-zero refcnt while umount is in process. Keep running this: mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup umount /cgroup And this: modprobe cfq-iosched rmmod cfs-iosched After a while, the BUG() in shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() may be triggered: BUG: Dentry xxx{i=0,n=blkio.yyy} still in use (1) [umount of cgroup cgroup] Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cgroup: warn about mismatching options of a new mount of an existing hierarchy

2013-05-28T22:59:39Z

With the new __DEVEL__sane_behavior mount option was introduced, if the root cgroup is alive with no xattr function, to mount a new cgroup with xattr will be rejected in terms of design which just fine. However, if the root cgroup does not mounted with __DEVEL__sane_hehavior, to create a new cgroup with xattr option will succeed although after that the EA function does not works as expected but will get ENOTSUPP for setting up attributes under either cgroup. e.g. setfattr: /cgroup2/test: Operation not supported Instead of keeping silence in this case, it's better to drop a log entry in warning level. That would be helpful to understand the reason behind the scene from the user's perspective, and this is essentially an improvement does not break the backward compatibilities. With this fix, above mount attemption will keep up works as usual but the following line cound be found at the system log: [ ...] cgroup: new mount options do not match the existing superblock tj: minor formatting / message updates.

cgroup: fix a subtle bug in descendant pre-order walk

2013-05-24T01:50:24Z

When cgroup_next_descendant_pre() initiates a walk, it checks whether the subtree root doesn't have any children and if not returns NULL. Later code assumes that the subtree isn't empty. This is broken because the subtree may become empty inbetween, which can lead to the traversal escaping the subtree by walking to the sibling of the subtree root. There's no reason to have the early exit path. Remove it along with the later assumption that the subtree isn't empty. This simplifies the code a bit and fixes the subtle bug. While at it, fix the comment of cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which was incorrectly referring to ->css_offline() instead of ->css_online().

cgroup: initialize xattr before calling d_instantiate()

2013-05-14T15:24:15Z

cgroup_create_file() calls d_instantiate(), which may decide to look at the xattrs on the file. Smack always does this and SELinux can be configured to do so. But cgroup_add_file() didn't initialize xattrs before calling cgroup_create_file(), which finally leads to dereferencing NULL dentry->d_fsdata. This bug has been there since cgroup xattr was introduced. Cc: # 3.8.x Reported-by: Ivan Bulatovic Reported-by: Casey Schaufler Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
