Heavy restructuring including locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and rationales of the the unified hierarchy Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt is added. Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be used to simplify memcg significantly" * 'for-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (77 commits) cgroup: disallow disabled controllers on the default hierarchy cgroup: don't destroy the default root cgroup: disallow debug controller on the default hierarchy cgroup: clean up MAINTAINERS entries cgroup: implement css_tryget() device_cgroup: use css_has_online_children() instead of has_children() cgroup: convert cgroup_has_live_children() into css_has_online_children() cgroup: use CSS_ONLINE instead of CGRP_DEAD cgroup: iterate cgroup_subsys_states directly cgroup: introduce CSS_RELEASED and reduce css iteration fallback window cgroup: move cgroup->serial_nr into cgroup_subsys_state cgroup: link all cgroup_subsys_states in their sibling lists cgroup: move cgroup->sibling and ->children into cgroup_subsys_state cgroup: remove cgroup->parent device_cgroup: remove direct access to cgroup->children memcg: update memcg_has_children() to use css_next_child() memcg: remove tasks/children test from mem_cgroup_force_empty() cgroup: remove css_parent() cgroup: skip refcnting on normal root csses and cgrp_dfl_root self css cgroup: use cgroup->self.refcnt for cgroup refcnting ...
| * cgroup: remove css_parent()Tejun Heo2014-05-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup in general is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the fundamental structural component and css_parent() was introduced to convert from using cgroup->parent to css->parent. It was quite some time ago and we're moving forward with making css more prominent. This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users dereference css->parent. While at it, explicitly mark fields of css which are public and immutable. v2: New usage from device_cgroup.c converted.

The comment in kernel/sched/clock.c says that there is no strict promise that it starts at zero. So initialize rq->age_stamp when a cpu starts up to avoid this. I was seeing long delays on a simulator that didn't start the clock at zero. This might also be an issue on reboots on processors that don't re-initialize the timer to zero on reset, and when using kexec.

A panic occured while building the sched_domain. In sched_init_numa, we create a new topology table in which both default levels and numa levels are copied. The last row of the table must have a null pointer in the mask field. The current implementation doesn't add this last row in the computation of the table size. So we add 1 row in the allocation size that will be used as the last row of the table. The kzalloc will ensure that the mask field is NULL.

This however means that resched_task() is very likely to send an IPI even when we were polling: CPU0 CPU1 if (current_set_polling_and_test()) goto out; __monitor(&ti->flags); if (!need_resched()) __mwait(eax, ecx); set_tsk_need_resched(p); smp_mb(); out: current_clr_polling(); if (!tsk_is_polling(p)) smp_send_reschedule(cpu); So while it is correct (extra IPIs aren't a problem, whereas a missed IPI would be) it is a performance problem (for some). Avoid this issue by using fetch_or() to atomically set NEED_RESCHED and test if POLLING_NRFLAG is set. Since a CPU stuck in mwait is unlikely to modify the flags word, contention on the cmpxchg is unlikely and thus we should mostly succeed in a single go.

This information can be used in the load balance decision or to add load balancing level between group of CPUs that can power gate independantly. This flag is part of the topology flags that can be set by arch.

We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags configuration of some levels. For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu, a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology flags are: SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES SD_NUMA SD_ASYM_PACKING Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for load balancing than its children.

They must all be the same. Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3 atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied. So move away from smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic(). This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing __deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not provided by the arch.

Fortunately, every call to cond_resched() is a perfectly good quiescent state. Unfortunately, invoking rcu_note_context_switch() is a bit heavyweight for cond_resched(), especially given the need to disable preemption, and, for RCU-preempt, interrupts as well. This commit therefore maintains a per-CPU counter that causes cond_resched(), cond_resched_lock(), and cond_resched_softirq() to call rcu_note_context_switch(), but only about once per 256 invocations. This ratio was chosen in keeping with the relative time constants of RCU grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

It's not safe, because can lead to deadlock, described in commit 927b54fccbf0: "__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock, waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take rq->lock, resulting in deadlock." Three CPUs must be involved: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 take rq->lock period timer fired ... take cfs_b lock ... ... tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() throttle_cfs_rq() release cfs_b lock take cfs_b lock ... distribute_cfs_runtime() timer_active = 0 take cfs_b->lock wait for rq->lock ... __start_cfs_bandwidth() {wait for timer callback break if timer_active == 1} So, CPU0 and CPU1 are deadlocked. Instead of resetting cfs_b->timer_active, tg_set_cfs_bandwidth can wait for period timer callbacks (ignoring cfs_b->timer_active) and restart the timer explicitly.

The problem is that in the interface we have u64 sched_runtime; while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with budget overruns) s64 runtime; At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in the second. The cast turns out with negative values when sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy right from the start. Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound (s64)(a - b) < 0 we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}. This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone). It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in __checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between values is too big.

This is really unnecessary as we already know no task can be pulled and it doubles the delay for the cpu to enter idle. We instrumented some network workloads and that saw that pick_next_task_fair is frequently called twice before a cpu enters idle. The call to pick_next_task_fair can add non trivial latency as it calls load_balance which runs find_busiest_group on an hierarchy of sched domains spanning the cpus for a large system. For some 4 socket systems, we saw almost 0.25 msec spent per call of pick_next_task_fair before a cpu can be idled." Optimize the second call away for the common case and document the dependency.

Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning: if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new) goto unlock; So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually yielded forever. To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between "good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled) and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be stopped.

Naturally, there are places where vfs rules don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is actually necessary, needed to be employed. After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting i_mutexes. - Various simplifications including dropping of module support, easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type handling and task_cg_lists optimization. - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy. Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for anyway. - Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h which brought in slab.h.

Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing.

The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously. As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the IPIs on this csd. Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect these properties.

By embedding a csd in an object, a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such, sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled. This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a single csd are serialized. This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this usecase is relevant. Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look at the two possible scenario: 1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily. But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) and the object can be passed an the IPI argument. Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs for this csd. 2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single() can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone. Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1 is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more simple. There was a single user of that which has just been converted. So lets remove this option to discourage further users.
