Allowing kthreadd to be moved to a non-root group makes no sense, it being
a global resource, and needlessly leads unsuspecting users toward trouble.
1. An RT workqueue worker thread spawned in a task group with no rt_runtime
allocated is not schedulable. Simple user error, but harmful to the box.
2. A worker thread which acquires PF_THREAD_BOUND can never leave a cpuset,
rendering the cpuset immortal.
Save the user some unexpected trouble, just say no.

Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references. If there
are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries
->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is
cancelled.
This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup
core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal
implementation details (references to internal data structure) with
externally visible operation (rmdir). To userland, this is a behavior
peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is
otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations,
this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs
for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang).
Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and
cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new
behavior. This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for
css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which
have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set.
Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old
behavior as proposed in the following patch. Note that the following
patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose
some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and
__css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead
of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251
Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting
warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please
get moving.

When a cgroup is about to be removed, cgroup_clear_css_refs() is
called to check and ensure that there are no active css references.
This is currently achieved by dropping the refcnt to zero iff it has
only the base ref. If all css refs could be dropped to zero, ref
clearing is successful and CSS_REMOVED is set on all css. If not, the
base ref is restored. While css ref is zero w/o CSS_REMOVED set, any
css_tryget() attempt on it busy loops so that they are atomic
w.r.t. the whole css ref clearing.
This does work but dropping and re-instating the base ref is somewhat
hairy and makes it difficult to add more logic to the put path as
there are two of them - the regular css_put() and the reversible base
ref clearing.
This patch updates css ref clearing such that blocking new
css_tryget() and putting the base ref are separate operations.
CSS_DEACT_BIAS, defined as INT_MIN, is added to css->refcnt and
css_tryget() busy loops while refcnt is negative. After all css refs
are deactivated, if they were all one, ref clearing succeeded and
CSS_REMOVED is set and the base ref is put using the regular
css_put(); otherwise, CSS_DEACT_BIAS is subtracted from the refcnts
and the original postive values are restored.
css_refcnt() accessor which always returns the unbiased positive
reference counts is added and used to simplify refcnt usages. While
at it, relocate and reformat comments in cgroup_has_css_refs().
This separates css->refcnt deactivation and putting the base ref,
which enables the next patch to make ref clearing optional.

This patch adds cfent (cgroup file entry) which is the association
between a cgroup and a file. This is in-cgroup representation of
files under a cgroup directory. This simplifies walking walking
cgroup files and thus cgroup_clear_directory(), which is now
implemented in two parts - cgroup_rm_file() and a loop around it.
cgroup_rm_file() will be used to implement cftype removal and cfent is
scheduled to serve cgroup specific per-file data (e.g. for sysfs-like
"sever" semantics).
v2: - cfe was freed from cgroup_rm_file() which led to use-after-free
if the file had openers at the time of removal. Moved to
cgroup_diput().
- cgroup_clear_directory() triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() if d_subdirs
wasn't empty after removing all files. This triggered
spuriously if some files were open during directory clearing.
Removed.
v3: - In cgroup_diput(), WARN_ONCE(!list_empty(&cfe->node)) could be
spuriously triggered for root cgroups because they don't go
through cgroup_clear_directory() on unmount. Don't trigger WARN
for root cgroups.

Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate()
callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation. This
level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable. It provides largely
unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what
the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions.
Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is
making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be
expressed with flags.
This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes(). These deal with cftypes
instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types
of files exist for certain subsystem. Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT
flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on
the root cgroup.
cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target
subsystem is currently attached or not. cgroup core will create files
on the existing cgroups as necessary.
Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the
base files for the subsystem. If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes
pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys
init / load.
Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file
based interface. Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of
files to an active controller. This will be used for sub-controller
modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term.
This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any
user.
v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with
cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys
which is loaded as module.

61d1d219c4 "cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_set" made
cgroup_task_migrate() return void. An unfortunate side effect was
that cgroup_attach_task() was depending on that function's return
value to clear its @retval on the success path. On cgroup mounts
without any subsystem with ->can_attach() callback,
cgroup_attach_task() ended up returning @retval without initializing
it on success.
For some reason, gcc failed to warn about it and it didn't cause
cgroup_attach_task() to return non-zero value in many cases, probably
due to difference in register allocation. When the problem
materializes, systemd fails to populate /systemd cgroup mount and
fails to boot.
Fix it by initializing @retval to zero on declaration.

Walking through the tasklist in cgroup_enable_task_cg_list() inside
an RCU read side critical section is not enough because:
- RCU is not (yet) safe against while_each_thread()
- If we use only RCU, a forking task that has passed cgroup_post_fork()
without seeing use_task_css_set_links == 1 is not guaranteed to have
its child immediately visible in the tasklist if we walk through it
remotely with RCU. In this case it will be missing in its css_set's
task list.
Thus we need to traverse the list (unfortunately) under the
tasklist_lock. It makes us safe against while_each_thread() and also
make sure we see all forked task that have been added to the tasklist.
As a secondary effect, reading and writing use_task_css_set_links are
now well ordered against tasklist traversing and modification. The new
layout is:
CPU 0 CPU 1
use_task_css_set_links = 1 write_lock(tasklist_lock)
read_lock(tasklist_lock) add task to tasklist
do_each_thread() { write_unlock(tasklist_lock)
add thread to css set links if (use_task_css_set_links)
} while_each_thread() add thread to css set links
read_unlock(tasklist_lock)
If CPU 0 traverse the list after the task has been added to the tasklist
then it is correctly added to the css set links. OTOH if CPU 0 traverse
the tasklist before the new task had the opportunity to be added to the
tasklist because it was too early in the fork process, then CPU 1
catches up and add the task to the css set links after it added the task
to the tasklist. The right value of use_task_css_set_links is guaranteed
to be visible from CPU 1 due to the LOCK/UNLOCK implicit barrier properties:
the read_unlock on CPU 0 makes the write on use_task_css_set_links happening
and the write_lock on CPU 1 make the read of use_task_css_set_links that comes
afterward to return the correct value.

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.

In cgroup_attach_proc, we indirectly call find_existing_css_set 3
times. It is an expensive call so we want to call it a minimum
of times. This patch only calls it once and stores the result so
that it can be used later on when we call cgroup_task_migrate.
This required modifying cgroup_task_migrate to take the new css_set
(which we obtained from find_css_set) as a parameter. The nice side
effect of this is that cgroup_task_migrate is now identical for
cgroup_attach_task and cgroup_attach_proc. It also now returns a
void since it can never fail.

If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique,

cgroup_post_fork() is protected between threadgroup_change_begin()

exit and call cgroup_exit() at this stage, this means it's css_set

In cgroup_attach_proc it is now sufficient to only check that
oldcgrp==newcgrp once. Now that we are using threadgroup_lock()
during the migrations, oldcgrp will not change.

When we fetch the css_set of the tasks on cgroup migration, we don't need
anymore to synchronize against cgroup_exit() that could swap the old one
with init_css_set. Now that we are using threadgroup_lock() during
the migrations, we don't need to worry about it anymore.

We don't need to hold the parent task_lock() on the
parent in cgroup_fork() because we are already synchronized
against the two places that may change the parent css_set
concurrently:
- cgroup_exit(), but the parent obviously can't exit concurrently
- cgroup migration: we are synchronized against threadgroup_lock()
So we can safely remove the task_lock() there.

There is a BUG when migrating a PF_EXITING proc. Since css_set_prefetch()
is not called for the PF_EXITING case, find_existing_css_set() will return
NULL inside cgroup_task_migrate() causing a BUG.
This bug is easy to reproduce. Create a zombie and echo its pid to
cgroup.procs.
$ cat zombie.c
\#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
if (fork())
pause();
return 0;
}
$
We are hitting this bug pretty regularly on ChromeOS.
This bug is already fixed by Tejun Heo's cgroup patchset which is
targetted for the next merge window:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/1/356
I've create a smaller patch here which just fixes this bug so that a
fix can be merged into the current release and stable.

Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys
methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task
methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to
pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys
methods.
Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are
converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so
that all methods have access to all information. Conversions in this
patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change.
-v2: documentation updated as per Paul Menage's suggestion.

cgroup_attach_proc() behaves differently from cgroup_attach_task() in
the following aspects.
* All hooks are invoked even if no task is actually being moved.
* ->can_attach_task() is called for all tasks in the group whether the
new cgrp is different from the current cgrp or not; however,
->attach_task() is skipped if new equals new. This makes the calls
asymmetric.
This patch improves old cgroup handling in cgroup_attach_proc() by
looking up the current cgroup at the head, recording it in the flex
array along with the task itself, and using it to remove the above two
differences. This will also ease further changes.
-v2: nr_todo renamed to nr_migrating_tasks as per Paul Menage's
suggestion.

Update cgroup to take advantage of the fack that threadgroup_lock()
guarantees stable threadgroup.
* Lock threadgroup even if the target is a single task. This
guarantees that when the target tasks stay stable during migration
regardless of the target type.
* Remove PF_EXITING early exit optimization from attach_task_by_pid()
and check it in cgroup_task_migrate() instead. The optimization was
for rather cold path to begin with and PF_EXITING state can be
trusted throughout migration by checking it after locking
threadgroup.
* Don't add PF_EXITING tasks to target task array in
cgroup_attach_proc(). This ensures that task migration is performed
only for live tasks.
* Remove -ESRCH failure path from cgroup_task_migrate(). With the
above changes, it's guaranteed to be called only for live tasks.
After the changes, only live tasks are migrated and they're guaranteed
to stay alive until migration is complete. This removes problems
caused by exec and exit racing against cgroup migration including
symmetry among cgroup attach methods and different cgroup methods
racing each other.
v2: Oleg pointed out that one more PF_EXITING check can be removed
from cgroup_attach_proc(). Removed.

cgroup wants to make threadgroup stable while modifying cgroup
hierarchies which will introduce locking dependency on
cred_guard_mutex from cgroup_mutex. This unfortunately completes
circular dependency.
A. cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex -> s_type->i_mutex_key -> namespace_sem
B. namespace_sem -> cgroup_mutex
B is from cgroup_show_options() and this patch breaks it by
introducing another mutex cgroup_root_mutex which nests inside
cgroup_mutex and protects cgroupfs_root.

While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global
reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance
regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of
the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to
idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy
walk).
Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it
with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a
rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves.
Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on
each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine.
Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers.
Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.
