* nsproxy: remove INIT_NSPROXY()Alexey Dobriyan2010-03-124-19/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove INIT_NSPROXY(), use C99 initializer. Remove INIT_IPC_NS(), INIT_NET_NS() while I'm at it. Note: headers trim will be done later, now it's quite pointless because results will be invalidated by merge window.

* pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: use SEND_SIG_NOINFO instead of force_sig()Oleg Nesterov2010-03-121-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zap_pid_ns_processes() uses force_sig(SIGKILL) to ensure SIGKILL will be delivered to sub-namespace inits as well. This is correct, but we are going to change force_sig_info() semantics. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395#c31 We can use send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_NOINFO) instead, since 614c517d7c00af1b26ded20646b329397d6f51a1 ("signals: SEND_SIG_NOINFO should be considered as SI_FROMUSER()") SEND_SIG_NOINFO means "from user" and therefore send_signal() will get the correct from_ancestor_ns = T flag.

* ipmi: add parameter to limit CPU usage in kipmidMartin Wilck2010-03-122-2/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases kipmid can use a lot of CPU. This adds a way to tune the CPU used by kipmid to help in those cases. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput performance. Not setting the value, or setting the value to zero, operation is unaffected.

* m32r: use generic ptrace_resume codeChristoph Hellwig2010-03-122-68/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT, PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be considered a bug fix. Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which it previously wasn't, which is consistent with all architectures using the modern ptrace code. The old code only disables the breakpoints on PTRACE_KILL, while after this patch this also happens for PTRACE_CONT and PTRACE_SYSCALL which matches the behaviour of the other architetures. I think this is a bugfixes, but please double verify this is correct.

* ptrace: move user_enable_single_step & co prototypes to linux/ptrace.hChristoph Hellwig2010-03-1211-42/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/ user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code size and confusion down. Roland said: The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining would be beneficial. But I agree that there is no strong reason to care about inlining it. As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the record. It was always my thinking that for an arch where PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion, user_enable_single_step() should not be provided. That is, arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects. Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in multi-threaded situations. Aside from that, it is a peculiar side effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW de-sharing of text pages and so forth. For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing. But for building other things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics that arch-independent code can expect. OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer. As of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et al so it's a distinction without a practical difference. If/when there are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care, the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

* memcg: fix oom kill behaviorKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-03-123-41/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In current page-fault code, handle_mm_fault() -> ... -> mem_cgroup_charge() -> map page or handle error. -> check return code. If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is called. But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already invoked. Then, I added a patch: a636b327f731143ccc544b966cfd8de6cb6d72c6. That patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future. But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the system is terribly heavy. This patch changes memcg's oom logic as. * If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry. * remove jiffies check which is used now. * add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock. * If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge. Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does fundamental things. TODO: - add oom notifier - add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom. - more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup directory to avoid race between userspace and kernelspace. eventfd are used to notify about two types of event: - control file-specific, like crossing memory threshold; - cgroup removing. To understand what really happen, userspace can check if the cgroup still exists. To avoid race beetween userspace and kernelspace we have to notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup directory. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, if panic_on_oom=2, the whole system panics even if the oom happend in some special situation (as cpuset, mempolicy....). Then, panic_on_oom=2 means painc_on_oom_always. Now, memcg doesn't check panic_on_oom flag. This patch adds a check. BTW, how it's useful ? kdump+panic_on_oom=2 is the last tool to investigate what happens in oom-ed system. When a task is killed, the sysytem recovers and there will be few hint to know what happnes. In mission critical system, oom should never happen. Then, panic_on_oom=2+kdump is useful to avoid next OOM by knowing precise information via snapshot. TODO: - For memcg, it's for isolate system's memory usage, oom-notiifer and freeze_at_oom (or rest_at_oom) should be implemented. Then, management daemon can do similar jobs (as kdump) or taking snapshot per cgroup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memcg has 2 eventcountes which counts "the same" event. Just usages are different from each other. This patch tries to reduce event counter. Now logic uses "only increment, no reset" counter and masks for each checks. Softlimit chesk was done per 1000 evetns. So, the similar check can be done by !(new_counter & 0x3ff). Threshold check was done per 100 events. So, the similar check can be done by (!new_counter & 0x7f) ALL event checks are done right after EVENT percpu counter is updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, move_task does "batched" precharge. Because res_counter or css's refcnt are not-scalable jobs for memcg, try_charge_().. tend to be done in batched manner if allowed. Now, softlimit and threshold check their event counter in try_charge, but the charge is not a per-page event. And event counter is not updated at charge(). Moreover, precharge doesn't pass "page" to try_charge() and softlimit tree will be never updated until uncharge() causes an event." So the best place to check the event counter is commit_charge(). This is per-page event by its nature. This patch move checks to there. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Kirill A.

But now, we have good one and useful macros. This patch replaces memcg's private percpu counter implementation with generic dynamic percpu allocator. The benefits are - We can remove private implementation. - The counters will be NUMA-aware. (Current one is not...) - This patch makes sizeof struct mem_cgroup smaller. Then, struct mem_cgroup may be fit in page size on small config. - About basic performance aspects, see below.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It allows to register multiple memory and memsw thresholds and gets notifications when it crosses. To register a threshold application need: - create an eventfd; - open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes; - write string like "<event_fd> <memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to cgroup.event_control. Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses threshold in any direction. It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup. It uses stats to track memory usage, simmilar to soft limits. It checks if we need to send event to userspace on every 100 page in/out. I guess it's good compromise between performance and accuracy of thresholds.

Callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() must be defined for the control file; - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control. Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation; eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the cgroup is removed. To unregister notification handler just close eventfd. If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the struct cftype.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration feature. It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps. To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record. In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by: - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache. - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache. This works well in usual swap-in/out activity. But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely. So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record()) to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record. This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

* memcg: add interface to move charge at task migrationDaisuke Nishimura2010-03-122-6/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In current memcg, charges associated with a task aren't moved to the new cgroup at task migration. Some users feel this behavior to be strange. These patches are for this feature, that is, for charging to the new cgroup and, of course, uncharging from the old cgroup at task migration. This patch adds "memory.move_charge_at_immigrate" file, which is a flag file to determine whether charges should be moved to the new cgroup at task migration or not and what type of charges should be moved. This patch also adds read and write handlers of the file. This patch also adds no-op handlers for this feature. These handlers will be implemented in later patches. And you cannot write any values other than 0 to move_charge_at_immigrate yet.

* cgroups: blkio subsystem as moduleBen Blum2010-03-126-17/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the Block I/O cgroup subsystem to be able to be built as a module. As the CFQ disk scheduler optionally depends on blk-cgroup, config options in block/Kconfig, block/Kconfig.iosched, and block/blk-cgroup.h are enhanced to support the new module dependency.
