kernfs: move the last knowledge of sysfs out from kernfs

2014-06-03T15:11:18Z

There is still one residue of sysfs remaining: the sb_magic SYSFS_MAGIC. However this should be kernfs user specific, so this patch moves it out. Kerrnfs user should specify their magic number while mouting. Signed-off-by: Jianyu Zhan Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

cgroup: introduce task_css_is_root()

2014-05-13T15:26:27Z

Determining the css of a task usually requires RCU read lock as that's the only thing which keeps the returned css accessible till its reference is acquired; however, testing whether a task belongs to the root can be performed without dereferencing the returned css by comparing the returned pointer against the root one in init_css_set[] which never changes. Implement task_css_is_root() which can be invoked in any context. This will be used by the scheduled cgroup_freezer change. v2: cgroup no longer supports modular controllers. No need to export init_css_set. Pointed out by Li. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Li Zefan

cgroup: fix the retry path of cgroup_mount()

2014-04-17T15:18:06Z

If we hit the retry path, we'll call parse_cgroupfs_options() again, but the string we pass to it has been modified by the previous call to this function. This bug can be observed by: # mount -t cgroup -o name=foo,cpuset xxx /mnt && umount /mnt && \ mount -t cgroup -o name=foo,cpuset xxx /mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on xxx, missing codepage or helper program, or other error ... The second mount passed "name=foo,cpuset" to the parser, and then it hit the retry path and call the parser again, but this time the string passed to the parser is "name=foo". To fix this, we avoid calling parse_cgroupfs_options() again in this case. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup: newly created dirs and files should be owned by the creator

2014-04-07T20:44:47Z

While converting cgroup to kernfs, 2bd59d48ebfb ("cgroup: convert to kernfs") accidentally dropped the logic which makes newly created cgroup dirs and files owned by the current uid / gid. This broke cases where cgroup subtree management is delegated to !root as the sub manager wouldn't be able to create more than single level of hierarchy or put tasks into child cgroups it created. Among other things, this breaks user session management in systemd and one of the symptoms was 90s hang during shutdown. User session systemd running as the user creates a sub-service to initiate shutdown and tries to put kill(1) into it but fails because cgroup.procs is owned by root. This leads to 90s hang during shutdown. Implement cgroup_kn_set_ugid() which sets a kn's uid and gid to those of the caller and use it from file and dir creation paths.

cgroup: fix top cgroup refcnt leak

2014-04-04T12:22:27Z

As mount() and kill_sb() is not a one-to-one match, If we mount the same cgroupfs in serveral mount points, and then umount all of them, kill_sb() will be called only once. Try: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup # mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup2 # cat /proc/cgroups | grep cpuacct cpuacct 2 1 1 # umount /cgroup # umount /cgroup2 # cat /proc/cgroups | grep cpuacct cpuacct 2 1 1 You'll see cgroupfs will never be freed.

Merge branch 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2014-04-03T20:05:42Z

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot updates for cgroup: - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is actually necessary, needed to be employed. After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting i_mutexes. - Various simplifications including dropping of module support, easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type handling and task_cg_lists optimization. - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy. Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for anyway. - Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h which brought in slab.h. There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch" * 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (74 commits) cgroup: remove useless argument from cgroup_exit() cgroup: fix spurious lockdep warning in cgroup_exit() cgroup: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in cgroup.c cgroup: break kernfs active_ref protection in cgroup directory operations cgroup: fix cgroup_taskset walking order cgroup: implement CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL cgroup: make cgrp_dfl_root mountable cgroup: drop const from @buffer of cftype->write_string() cgroup: rename cgroup_dummy_root and related names cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to cgroup cgroup: treat cgroup_dummy_root as an equivalent hierarchy during rebinding cgroup: remove NULL checks from [pr_cont_]cgroup_{name|path}() cgroup: use cgroup_setup_root() to initialize cgroup_dummy_root cgroup: reorganize cgroup bootstrapping cgroup: relocate setting of CGRP_DEAD cpuset: use rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cs() cgroup_freezer: document freezer_fork() subtleties cgroup: update cgroup_transfer_tasks() to either succeed or fail cgroup: drop task_lock() protection around task->cgroups cgroup: update how a newly forked task gets associated with css_set ...

cgroup: fix spurious lockdep warning in cgroup_exit()

2014-03-29T13:15:53Z

cgroup_exit() is called in fork and exit path. If it's called in the failure path during fork, PF_EXITING isn't set, and then lockdep will complain. Fix this by removing cgroup_exit() in that failure path. cgroup_fork() does nothing that needs cleanup. Reported-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in cgroup.c

2014-03-24T12:48:02Z

This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL) Signed-off-by: Monam Agarwal Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup: break kernfs active_ref protection in cgroup directory operations

2014-03-20T15:10:15Z

cgroup_tree_mutex should nest above the kernfs active_ref protection; however, cgroup_create() and cgroup_rename() were grabbing cgroup_tree_mutex while under kernfs active_ref protection. This has actualy possibility to lead to deadlocks in case these operations race against cgroup_rmdir() which invokes kernfs_remove() on directory kernfs_node while holding cgroup_tree_mutex. Neither cgroup_create() or cgroup_rename() requires active_ref protection. The former already has enough synchronization through cgroup_lock_live_group() and the latter doesn't care, so this can be fixed by updating both functions to break all active_ref protections before grabbing cgroup_tree_mutex. While this patch fixes the immediate issue, it probably needs further work in the long term - kernfs directories should enable lockdep annotations and maybe the better way to handle this is marking directory nodes as not needing active_ref protection rather than breaking it in each operation.
