Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed. Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these changes and the patchset is pending for the next window. - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward, new events will simply generate file modified event and the existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull request contains prepatory patches for such change. - Various fixes and cleanups" Fixed up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c as per Tejun. * 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (69 commits) cgroup: fix cgroup_css() invocation in css_from_id() cgroup: make cgroup_write_event_control() use css_from_dir() instead of __d_cgrp() cgroup: make cgroup_event hold onto cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup cgroup: implement CFTYPE_NO_PREFIX cgroup: make cgroup_css() take cgroup_subsys * instead and allow NULL subsys cgroup: rename cgroup_css_from_dir() to css_from_dir() and update its syntax cgroup: fix cgroup_write_event_control() cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroup cgroup: change cgroup_from_id() to css_from_id() cgroup: use css_get() in cgroup_create() to check CSS_ROOT cpuset: remove an unncessary forward declaration cgroup: RCU protect each cgroup_subsys_state release cgroup: move subsys file removal to kill_css() cgroup: factor out kill_css() cgroup: decouple cgroup_subsys_state destruction from cgroup destruction cgroup: replace cgroup->css_kill_cnt with ->nr_css cgroup: bounce cgroup_subsys_state ref kill confirmation to a work item cgroup: move cgroup->subsys[] assignment to online_css() cgroup: reorganize css init / exit paths cgroup: add __rcu modifier to cgroup->subsys[] ...

cpuset: fix a regression in validating config change

2013-08-21T12:40:27Z

It's not allowed to clear masks of a cpuset if there're tasks in it, but it's broken: # mkdir /cgroup/sub # echo 0 > /cgroup/sub/cpuset.cpus # echo 0 > /cgroup/sub/cpuset.mems # echo $$ > /cgroup/sub/tasks # echo > /cgroup/sub/cpuset.cpus (should fail) This bug was introduced by commit 88fa523bff295f1d60244a54833480b02f775152 ("cpuset: allow to move tasks to empty cpusets"). tj: Dropped temp bool variables and nestes the conditionals directly.

cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration

2013-08-09T00:11:27Z

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. Some conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any noticeable difference.

cgroup: make cgroup_taskset deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup

2013-08-09T00:11:27Z

cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state) from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested in anyway. cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle. Update cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp. The conversions are pretty mechanical. One exception is cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

cgroup: make task iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup

2013-08-09T00:11:26Z

cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state) from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested in anyway. This patch converts task iterators to deal with css instead of cgroup. Note that under unified hierarchy, different sets of tasks will be considered belonging to a given cgroup depending on the subsystem in question and making the iterators deal with css instead cgroup provides them with enough information about the iteration. While at it, fix several function comment formats in cpuset.c. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior differences.

cgroup: remove struct cgroup_scanner

2013-08-09T00:11:26Z

cgroup_scan_tasks() takes a pointer to struct cgroup_scanner as its sole argument and the only function of that struct is packing the arguments of the function call which are consisted of five fields. It's not too unusual to pack parameters into a struct when the number of arguments gets excessive or the whole set needs to be passed around a lot, but neither holds here making it just weird. Drop struct cgroup_scanner and pass the params directly to cgroup_scan_tasks(). Note that struct cpuset_change_nodemask_arg was added to cpuset.c to pass both ->cs and ->newmems pointer to cpuset_change_nodemask() using single data pointer. This doesn't make any functional differences. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Li Zefan

cgroup: make hierarchy iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup

2013-08-09T00:11:25Z

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css (cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in subsystem API. For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because * In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway. * On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup. Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and subsystem * For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy. Having cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot easier. Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward. Noteworthy changes are * blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used. Removed. * freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used. Removed. * devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used. Removed.

cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in file methods

2013-08-09T00:11:24Z

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. Updated accordingly. * cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left. Removed.
