Tejun Heo 0942eeeef6 cgroup: rename cgroup_iter to cgroup_task_iter
cgroup now has multiple iterators and it's quite confusing to have
something which walks over tasks of a single cgroup named cgroup_iter.
Let's rename it to cgroup_task_iter.

While at it, reformat / update comments and replace the overview
comment above the interface function decls with proper function
comments.  Such overview can be useful but function comments should be
more than enough here.

This is pure rename and doesn't introduce any functional changes.

Tejun Heo 492eb21b98 cgroup: make hierarchy iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup
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.

Tejun Heo 182446d087 cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in file methods
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.

Tejun Heo eb95419b02 cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in subsystem methods
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.

* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
  unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
  created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
  which is different from the current state where all css's are
  allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup.  This
  in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
  return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.

* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
  hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
  differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
  being performed for.

* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
  cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's.  Subsystem methods
  often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
  bother with the cgroup pointer itself.  Passing around css fits
  much better.

This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup.  The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  A few
noteworthy changes are

* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
  pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
  exist yet.  Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
  subsystems.

* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
  dereference is replaced with local variable access.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
    with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.

    Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
    that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
    leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.  Suggested
    by Li Zefan.

Tejun Heo 6387698699 cgroup: add css_parent()
Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css.  cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.

This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent.  The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.

freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.

* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
  parent_ca().  The only difference between the two was NULL test on
  cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
  distinction moot.  Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
  added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

Tejun Heo a7c6d554aa cgroup: add/update accessors which obtain subsys specific data from css
css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure.  Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast.  As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.

All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases.  While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.

* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
  accessor.  Added.

* memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly
  handle NULL input.  Updated.

Tejun Heo 8af01f56a0 cgroup: s/cgroup_subsys_state/cgroup_css/ s/task_subsys_state/task_css/
The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward.  Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.

Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css().  This patch is pure rename.

Tejun Heo ef9fe980c6 cgroup_freezer: implement proper hierarchy support
Up until now, cgroup_freezer didn't implement hierarchy properly.
cgroups could be arranged in hierarchy but it didn't make any
difference in how each cgroup_freezer behaved.  They all operated
separately.

This patch implements proper hierarchy support.  If a cgroup is
frozen, all its descendants are frozen.  A cgroup is thawed iff it and
all its ancestors are THAWED.  freezer.self_freezing shows the current
freezing state for the cgroup itself.  freezer.parent_freezing shows
whether the cgroup is freezing because any of its ancestors is
freezing.

freezer_post_create() locks the parent and new cgroup and inherits the
parent's state and freezer_change_state() applies new state top-down
using cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which guarantees that no child
can escape its parent's state.  update_if_frozen() uses
cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() to propagate frozen states
bottom-up.

Synchronization could be coarser and easier by using a single mutex to
protect all hierarchy operations.  Finer grained approach was used
because it wasn't too difficult for cgroup_freezer and I think it's
beneficial to have an example implementation and cgroup_freezer is
rather simple and can serve a good one.

As this makes cgroup_freezer properly hierarchical,
freezer_subsys.broken_hierarchy marking is removed.

Note that this patch changes userland visible behavior - freezing a
cgroup now freezes all its descendants too.  This behavior change is
intended and has been warned via .broken_hierarchy.

v2: Michal spotted a bug in freezer_change_state() - descendants were
    inheriting from the wrong ancestor.  Fixed.

v3: Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt updated.

Tejun Heo 5300a9b348 cgroup_freezer: add ->post_create() and ->pre_destroy() and track online state
A cgroup is online and visible to iteration between ->post_create()
and ->pre_destroy().  This patch introduces CGROUP_FREEZER_ONLINE and
toggles it from the newly added freezer_post_create() and
freezer_pre_destroy() while holding freezer->lock such that a
cgroup_freezer can be reilably distinguished to be online.  This will
be used by full hierarchy support.

ONLINE test is added to freezer_apply_state() but it currently doesn't
make any difference as freezer_write() can only be called for an
online cgroup.

Adjusting system_freezing_cnt on destruction is moved from
freezer_destroy() to the new freezer_pre_destroy() for consistency.

This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

Oleg Nesterov 5d8f72b55c freezer: change ptrace_stop/do_signal_stop to use freezable_schedule()
try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks
to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -> RUNNING transition
can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does
not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task->state back to
RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.

We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.

And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen
no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the
non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was
specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough".

v2: As Tejun pointed out, we can also change get_signal_to_deliver()
and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.

Tejun Heo ead5c47371 cgroup_freezer: don't use cgroup_lock_live_group()
freezer_read/write() used cgroup_lock_live_group() to synchronize
against task migration into and out of the target cgroup.
cgroup_lock_live_group() grabs the internal cgroup lock and using it
from outside cgroup core leads to complex and fragile locking
dependency issues which are difficult to resolve.

Now that freezer_can_attach() is replaced with freezer_attach() and
update_if_frozen() updated, nothing requires excluding migration
against freezer state reads and changes.

This patch removes cgroup_lock_live_group() and the matching
cgroup_unlock() usages.  The prone-to-bitrot, already outdated and
unnecessary global lock hierarchy documentation is replaced with
documentation in local scope.

Tejun Heo b4d18311d3 cgroup_freezer: prepare update_if_frozen() for locking change
Locking will change such that migration can happen while
freezer_read/write() is in progress.  This means that
update_if_frozen() can no longer assume that all tasks in the cgroup
coform to the current freezer state - newly migrated tasks which
haven't finished freezer_attach() yet might be in any state.

This patch updates update_if_frozen() such that it no longer verifies
task states against freezer state.  It now simply decides whether
FREEZING stage is complete.

This removal of verification makes it meaningless to call from
freezer_change_state().  Drop it and move the fast exit test from
freezer_read() - the only left caller - to update_if_frozen().

Tejun Heo 8755ade683 cgroup_freezer: allow moving tasks in and out of a frozen cgroup
cgroup_freezer is one of the few users of cgroup_subsys->can_attach()
and uses it to prevent tasks from being migrated into or out of a
frozen cgroup.  This makes cgroup_freezer cumbersome to use especially
when co-mounted with other controllers.

->can_attach() is problematic in general as it can make co-mounting
multiple cgroups difficult - migrating tasks may fail for reasons
completely irrelevant for other controllers.  freezer_can_attach() in
particular is more problematic because it messes with cgroup internal
locking to ensure that the state verification performed at
freezer_can_attach() stays valid until migration is complete.

This patch replaces freezer_can_attach() with freezer_attach() so that
tasks are always allowed to migrate - they are nudged into the
conforming state from freezer_attach().  This means that there can be
tasks which are being migrated which don't conform to the current
cgroup_freezer state until freezer_attach() is complete.  Under the
current locking scheme, the only such place is freezer_fork() which is
updated to handle such window.

While this patch doesn't remove the use of internal cgroup locking
from freezer_read/write() paths, it removes the requirement to keep
the freezer state constant while migrating and enables such change.

Note that this creates a userland visible behavior change - FROZEN
cgroup can no longer be used to lock migrations in and out of the
cgroup.  This behavior change is intended.  I don't think the feature
is necessary - userland should coordinate accesses to cgroup fs anyway
- and even if the feature is needed cgroup_freezer is the completely
wrong place to implement it.

Tejun Heo 3c426d5e11 cgroup_freezer: don't stall transition to FROZEN for PF_NOFREEZE or PF_FREEZER_SKIP tasks
cgroup_freezer doesn't transition from FREEZING to FROZEN if the
cgroup contains PF_NOFREEZE tasks or tasks sleeping with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP set.

Only kernel tasks can be non-freezable (PF_NOFREEZE) and there's
nothing cgroup_freezer or userland can do about or to it.  It's
pointless to stall the transition for PF_NOFREEZE tasks.

PF_FREEZER_SKIP indicates that the task can be skipped when
determining whether frozen state is reached.  A task with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP is guaranteed to perform try_to_freeze() after it
wakes up and can be considered frozen much like stopped or traced
tasks.  Note that a vfork parent uses PF_FREEZER_SKIP while waiting
for the child.

This updates update_if_frozen() such that it only considers freezable
tasks and treats %true freezer_should_skip() tasks as frozen.

This allows cgroups w/ kthreads and vfork parents successfully reach
FROZEN state.

Tejun Heo 51f246ed95 cgroup_freezer: make it official that writes to freezer.state don't fail
try_to_freeze_cgroup() has condition checks which are intended to fail
the write operation to freezer.state if there are tasks which can't be
frozen.  The condition checks have been broken for quite some time
now.  freeze_task() returns %false if the target task can't be frozen,
so num_cant_freeze_now is never incremented.

In addition, strangely, cgroup freezing proceeds even after the write
is failed, which is rather broken.

This patch rips out the non-working code intended to fail the write to
freezer.state when the cgroup contains non-freezable tasks and makes
it official that writes to freezer.state succeed whether there are
non-freezable tasks in the cgroup or not.

This leaves is_task_frozen_enough() with only one user -
upste_if_frozen().  Collapse it into the caller.  Note that this
removes an extra call to freezing().

This doesn't cause any userland behavior changes.

Tejun Heo 5edee61ede cgroup: cgroup_subsys->fork() should be called after the task is added to css_set
cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state.  If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.

cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set.  Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer.  If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.

This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.

Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

Tejun Heo 8c7f6edbda cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess.  cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children.  blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup.  Others show yet different behaviors.

These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.

Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy.  Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support.  The goal of
this patch is two-fold.

* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
  subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
  doesn't surprise them.

* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
  subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.

For now, start with a single warning message.  We can whine louder
later on.

v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.

v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
    cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
    different from root.use_hierarchy=true.  Fixed a typo spotted by
    Glauber.

v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
    ->create() can affect the result per Michal.  Dropped unnecessary
    memcg root handling per Michal.

Tejun Heo 4baf6e3325 cgroup: convert all non-memcg controllers to the new cftype interface
Convert debug, freezer, cpuset, cpu_cgroup, cpuacct, net_prio, blkio,
net_cls and device controllers to use the new cftype based interface.
Termination entry is added to cftype arrays and populate callbacks are
replaced with cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes initializations.

This is functionally identical transformation.  There shouldn't be any
visible behavior change.

memcg is rather special and will be converted separately.

Li Zefan 761b3ef50e cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks
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.
