2020-02-13clone3: allow spawning processes into cgroupsChristian Brauner1-4/+11
This adds support for creating a process in a different cgroup than its parent. Callers can limit and account processes and threads right from the moment they are spawned: - A service manager can directly spawn new services into dedicated cgroups. - A process can be directly created in a frozen cgroup and will be frozen as well. - The initial accounting jitter experienced by process supervisors and daemons is eliminated with this. - Threaded applications or even thread implementations can choose to create a specific cgroup layout where each thread is spawned directly into a dedicated cgroup. This feature is limited to the unified hierarchy. Callers need to pass a directory file descriptor for the target cgroup. The caller can choose to pass an O_PATH file descriptor. All usual migration restrictions apply, i.e. there can be no processes in inner nodes. In general, creating a process directly in a target cgroup adheres to all migration restrictions. One of the biggest advantages of this feature is that CLONE_INTO_GROUP does not need to grab the write side of the cgroup cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem. This global lock makes moving tasks/threads around super expensive. With clone3() this lock is avoided.

2019-10-24cgroup: pids: use atomic64_t for pids->limitAleksa Sarai1-5/+6
Because pids->limit can be changed concurrently (but we don't want to take a lock because it would be needlessly expensive), use atomic64_ts instead.

2019-01-31cgroup/pids: turn cgroup_subsys->free() into cgroup_subsys->release() to fix ↵Oleg Nesterov1-2/+2
the accounting The only user of cgroup_subsys->free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid. However, ->free() is called from __put_task_struct()->cgroup_free() and this is too late. Even the trivial program which does for (;;) { int pid = fork(); assert(pid >= 0); if (pid) wait(NULL); else exit(0); } can run out of limits because release_task()->call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct) implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put(). Test-case: mkdir -p /tmp/CG mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG echo '+pids' > /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control mkdir /tmp/CG/PID echo 2 > /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' & echo $! > /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration. Rename cgroup_subsys->free() to cgroup_subsys->release() and move the callsite into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually frees the pid(s). Reported-by: Herton R.

2017-07-21cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread supportTejun Heo1-0/+1
This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support. The goal of the thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model which allows coordination across different resource controllers and handling of anonymous resource consumptions. A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by writing to the "cgroup.type" file. When a cgroup becomes threaded, it becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the closest ancestor which isn't threaded. The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or no-internal-process constraint. Note that the threads aren't allowed to escape to a different threaded subtree. To be used inside a threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is appropriate for the resource. The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource domain for the whole subtree. This is the last cgroup where domain controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource consumptions in the subtree are accounted. This allows threaded controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution. As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint, it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups, so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and threaded children. Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain. This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level operations. This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events controllers. Neither has to worry about domain-level resource consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag. For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode, please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added by this patch. v5: - Dropped silly no-op ->dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create(). Spotted by Waiman. - Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman. - cgroup.type content slightly reformatted. - Mark the debug controller threaded. v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ. v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's threaded subtree. v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is added. This should address the issue that Peter pointed out where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while coexisting with other domain cgroups. - Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing control mask update mechanism. - Bug fixes and cleanup.

2017-03-06cgroup/pids: remove spurious suspicious RCU usage warningTejun Heo1-1/+1
pids_can_fork() is special in that the css association is guaranteed to be stable throughout the function and thus doesn't need RCU protection around task_css access. When determining the css to charge the pid, task_css_check() is used to override the RCU sanity check. While adding a warning message on fork rejection from pids limit, 135b8b37bd91 ("cgroup: Add pids controller event when fork fails because of pid limit") incorrectly added a task_css access which is neither RCU protected or explicitly annotated. This triggers the following suspicious RCU usage warning when RCU debugging is enabled. cgroup: fork rejected by pids controller in =============================== [ ERR: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.10.0-work+ #1 Not tainted ------------------------------- ./include/linux/cgroup.h:435 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 0 1 lock held by bash/1748: #0: (&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem){+++++.}, at: [<ffffffff81052c96>] _do_fork+0xe6/0x6e0 stack backtrace: CPU: 3 PID: 1748 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.10.0-work+ #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.9.3-1.fc25 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x93 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xd7/0x110 pids_can_fork+0x1c7/0x1d0 cgroup_can_fork+0x67/0xc0 copy_process.part.58+0x1709/0x1e90 _do_fork+0xe6/0x6e0 SyS_clone+0x19/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x5c/0x140 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 RIP: 0033:0x7f7853fab93a RSP: 002b:00007ffc12d05c90 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000038 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00007f7853fab93a RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000001200011 RBP: 00007ffc12d05cc0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 00007f78548db700 R10: 00007f78548db9d0 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 00000000000006d4 R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 000055e3ebe2c04d /asdf There's no reason to dereference task_css again here when the associated css is already available.

2017-03-02sched/headers, cgroups: Remove the threadgroup_change_*() wrapperyIngo Molnar1-1/+1
threadgroup_change_begin()/end() is a pointless wrapper around cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin()/end(), minus a might_sleep() in the !CONFIG_CGROUPS=y case. Remove the wrappery, move the might_sleep() (the down_read() already has a might_sleep() check). This debloats <linux/sched.h> a bit and simplifies this API. Update all call sites.
