cgroup: define controller file conventions

2015-08-04T19:20:55+00:00

Traditionally, each cgroup controller implemented whatever interface it wanted leading to interfaces which are widely inconsistent. Examining the requirements of the controllers readily yield that there are only a few control schemes shared among all. Two major controllers already had to implement new interface for the unified hierarchy due to significant structural changes. Let's take the chance to establish common conventions throughout all controllers. This patch defines CGROUP_WEIGHT_MIN/DFL/MAX to be used on all weight based control knobs and documents the conventions that controllers should follow on the unified hierarchy. Except for io.weight knob, all existing unified hierarchy knobs are already compliant. A follow-up patch will update io.weight. v2: Added descriptions of min, low and high knobs.

cgroup: allow a cgroup subsystem to reject a fork

2015-07-14T21:29:23+00:00

Add a new cgroup subsystem callback can_fork that conditionally states whether or not the fork is accepted or rejected by a cgroup policy. In addition, add a cancel_fork callback so that if an error occurs later in the forking process, any state modified by can_fork can be reverted. Allow for a private opaque pointer to be passed from cgroup_can_fork to cgroup_post_fork, allowing for the fork state to be stored by each subsystem separately. Also add a tagging system for cgroup_subsys.h to allow for CGROUP_ enumerations to be be defined and used. In addition, explicitly add a CGROUP_CANFORK_COUNT macro to make arrays easier to define. This is in preparation for implementing the pids cgroup subsystem. Signed-off-by: Aleksa Sarai Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Merge branch 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2015-06-27T02:50:04+00:00

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - threadgroup_lock got reorganized so that its users can pick the actual locking mechanism to use. Its only user - cgroups - is updated to use a percpu_rwsem instead of per-process rwsem. This makes things a bit lighter on hot paths and allows cgroups to perform and fail multi-task (a process) migrations atomically. Multi-task migrations are used in several places including the unified hierarchy. - Delegation rule and documentation added to unified hierarchy. This will likely be the last interface update from the cgroup core side for unified hierarchy before lifting the devel mask. - Some groundwork for the pids controller which is scheduled to be merged in the coming devel cycle. * 'for-4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: add delegation section to unified hierarchy documentation cgroup: require write perm on common ancestor when moving processes on the default hierarchy cgroup: separate out cgroup_procs_write_permission() from __cgroup_procs_write() kernfs: make kernfs_get_inode() public MAINTAINERS: add a cgroup core co-maintainer cgroup: fix uninitialised iterator in for_each_subsys_which cgroup: replace explicit ss_mask checking with for_each_subsys_which cgroup: use bitmask to filter for_each_subsys cgroup: add seq_file forward declaration for struct cftype cgroup: simplify threadgroup locking sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem sched, cgroup: reorganize threadgroup locking cgroup: switch to unsigned long for bitmasks cgroup: reorganize include/linux/cgroup.h cgroup: separate out include/linux/cgroup-defs.h cgroup: fix some comment typos

cgroup, block: implement task_get_css() and use it in bio_associate_current()

2015-06-02T14:33:34+00:00

bio_associate_current() currently open codes task_css() and css_tryget_online() to find and pin $current's blkcg css. Abstract it into task_get_css() which is implemented from cgroup side. As a task is always associated with an online css for every subsystem except while the css_set update is propagating, task_get_css() retries till css_tryget_online() succeeds. This is a cleanup and shouldn't lead to noticeable behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Li Zefan Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Vivek Goyal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

cgroup: reorganize include/linux/cgroup.h

2015-05-18T19:52:20+00:00

From c4d440938b5e2015c70594fe6666a099c844f929 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 16:21:40 -0400 Over time, cgroup.h grew organically and doesn't have much logical structure at this point. Separation of cgroup-defs.h in the previous patch gives us a good chance for reorganizing cgroup.h as changes to the header are likely to cause conflicts anyway. This patch reorganizes cgroup.h so that it has consistent logical grouping. This is pure reorganization. v2: Relocating #ifdef CONFIG_CGROUPS caused build failure when cgroup is disabled. Dropped.

cgroup: separate out include/linux/cgroup-defs.h

2015-05-18T19:52:16+00:00

From 2d728f74bfc071df06773e2fd7577dd5dab6425d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 15:37:01 -0400 This patch separates out cgroup-defs.h from cgroup.h which has grown a lot of dependencies. cgroup-defs.h currently only contains constant and type definitions and can be used to break circular include dependency. While moving, definitions are reordered so that cgroup-defs.h has consistent logical structure. This patch is pure reorganization. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
