All cgroup directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex; however, new
directory creation is a special case. A new cgroup directory is
created while holding cgroup_mutex. Populating the new directory
requires both the new directory's i_mutex and cgroup_mutex. Because
all directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex, grabbing both
requires releasing cgroup_mutex first, which isn't a good idea as the
new cgroup isn't yet ready to be manipulated by other cgroup
opreations.
This is worked around by grabbing the new directory's i_mutex while
holding cgroup_mutex before making it visible. As there's no other
user at that point, grabbing the i_mutex under cgroup_mutex can't lead
to deadlock.
cgroup_create_file() was using I_MUTEX_CHILD to tell lockdep not to
worry about the reverse locking order; however, this creates pseudo
locking dependency cgroup_mutex -> I_MUTEX_CHILD, which isn't true -
all directory i_mutexes are still nested outside cgroup_mutex. This
pseudo locking dependency can lead to spurious lockdep warnings.
Use mutex_trylock() instead. This will always succeed and lockdep
doesn't create any locking dependency for it.

Replace the manual unrolling and invoke cgroup_unload_subsys() on

cgroup->dentry is marked and used as a RCU pointer; however, it isn't
one - the final dentry put doesn't go through call_rcu(). cgroup and
dentry share the same RCU freeing rule via synchronize_rcu() in
cgroup_diput() (kfree_rcu() used on cgrp is unnecessary). If cgrp is
accessible under RCU read lock, so is its dentry and dereferencing
cgrp->dentry doesn't need any further RCU protection or annotation.
While not being accurate, before the previous patch, the RCU accessors
served a purpose as memory barriers - cgroup->dentry used to be
assigned after the cgroup was made visible to cgroup_path(), so the
assignment and dereferencing in cgroup_path() needed the memory
barrier pair. Now that list_add_tail_rcu() happens after
cgroup->dentry is assigned, this no longer is necessary.
Remove the now unnecessary and misleading RCU annotations from
cgroup->dentry. To make up for the removal of rcu_dereference_check()
in cgroup_path(), add an explicit rcu_lockdep_assert(), which asserts
the dereference rule of @cgrp, not cgrp->dentry.

While creating a new cgroup, cgroup_create() links the newly allocated
cgroup into various places before trying to create its directory.
Because cgroup life-cycle is tied to the vfs objects, this makes it
impossible to use cgroup_rmdir() for rolling back creation - the
removal logic depends on having full vfs objects.
This patch moves directory creation above linking and collect linking
operations to one place. This allows directory creation failure to
share error exit path with css allocation failures and any failure
sites afterwards (to be added later) can use cgroup_rmdir() logic to
undo creation.
Note that this also makes the memory barriers around cgroup->dentry,
which currently is misleadingly using RCU operations, unnecessary.
This will be handled in the next patch.
While at it, locking BUG_ON() on i_mutex is converted to
lockdep_assert_held().

Up until now, cgroup_freezer didn't implement hierarchy properly.
cgroups could be arranged in hierarchy but it didn't make any
difference in how each cgroup_freezer behaved. They all operated
separately.
This patch implements proper hierarchy support. If a cgroup is
frozen, all its descendants are frozen. A cgroup is thawed iff it and
all its ancestors are THAWED. freezer.self_freezing shows the current
freezing state for the cgroup itself. freezer.parent_freezing shows
whether the cgroup is freezing because any of its ancestors is
freezing.
freezer_post_create() locks the parent and new cgroup and inherits the
parent's state and freezer_change_state() applies new state top-down
using cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which guarantees that no child
can escape its parent's state. update_if_frozen() uses
cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() to propagate frozen states
bottom-up.
Synchronization could be coarser and easier by using a single mutex to
protect all hierarchy operations. Finer grained approach was used
because it wasn't too difficult for cgroup_freezer and I think it's
beneficial to have an example implementation and cgroup_freezer is
rather simple and can serve a good one.
As this makes cgroup_freezer properly hierarchical,
freezer_subsys.broken_hierarchy marking is removed.
Note that this patch changes userland visible behavior - freezing a
cgroup now freezes all its descendants too. This behavior change is
intended and has been warned via .broken_hierarchy.
v2: Michal spotted a bug in freezer_change_state() - descendants were
inheriting from the wrong ancestor. Fixed.

CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup
destruction rollback somewhat working. cgroup_rmdir() used to drain
CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and

next relevant event.
Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the
mechanism got exposed to memcg by 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent

Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is

Because ->pre_destroy() could fail and can't be called under
cgroup_mutex, cgroup destruction did something very ugly.
1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.
2. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().
3. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can still be destroyed; fail
otherwise.
4. Continue destroying.
In addition to being ugly, it has been always broken in various ways.
For example, memcg ->pre_destroy() expects the cgroup to be inactive
after it's done but tasks can be attached and detached between #2 and
#3 and the conditions that memcg verified in ->pre_destroy() might no
longer hold by the time control reaches #3.
Now that ->pre_destroy() is no longer allowed to fail. We can switch
to the following.
1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.
2. Deactivate CSS's and mark the cgroup removed thus preventing any
further operations which can invalidate the verification from #1.
3. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().
4. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and continue destroying.
After this change, controllers can safely assume that ->pre_destroy()
will only be called only once for a given cgroup and, once
->pre_destroy() is called, the cgroup will stay dormant till it's
destroyed.
This removes the only reason ->pre_destroy() can fail - new task being
attached or child cgroup being created inbetween. Error out path is
removed and ->pre_destroy() invocation is open coded in
cgroup_rmdir().

CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
support css reference draining on cgroup removal. All css->refcnts
which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
atomically w.r.t. css_tryget(). If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
process.
This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
(committing to removal).
Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
atomic rollback mechanism. css_tryget() simply can look at the
reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
re-activated.
This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
the refcnt is deactivated. As deactivation and removal are a single
step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
happening from irq context. Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
cgroup_rmdir().
Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
in memcontrol.c. We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
simply unexport it.

If one includes documentation for an external tool, it should be
correct. This is not:
1. Overriding the input to rngd should typically be neither
necessary nor desired. This is especially so since newer
versions of rngd support a number of different *types* of sources.
2. The default kernel-exported device is called /dev/hwrng not
/dev/hwrandom nor /dev/hw_random (both of which were used in the
past; however, kernel and udev seem to have converged on
/dev/hwrng.)
Overall it is better if the documentation for rngd is kept with rngd

'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of
upids at the end.
The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces. Now a
level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page.
Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page. MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is
not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on
architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a
new fields in struct pid or struct upid.
I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand
"struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases.
When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a
sysctl parameter.
In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have
many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying.
zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will
be called for each process in a namespace. find_vpid will be called
minimum max_level^2 / 2 times. The reason of that is that when we found a
bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it
isn't.
vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested
namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time. For example my
system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
"This pull request contains three fixes.
Two are reverts of task_lock() removal in cgroup fork path. The
optimizations incorrectly assumed that threadgroup_lock can protect
process forks (as opposed to thread creations) too. Further cleanup
of cgroup fork path is scheduled.
The third fixes cgroup emptiness notification loss."

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"This pull request contains one patch from Dan Magenheimer to fix
cancel_delayed_work() regression introduced by its reimplementation
using try_to_grab_pending(). The reimplementation made it incorrectly
return %true when the work item is idle.
There aren't too many consumers of the return value but it broke at
least ramster."
* 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: cancel_delayed_work() should return %false if work item is idle
57b30ae77b ("workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using
try_to_grab_pending()") made cancel_delayed_work() always return %true
unless someone else is also trying to cancel the work item, which is
broken - if the target work item is idle, the return value should be
%false.
try_to_grab_pending() indicates that the target work item was idle by
zero return value. Use it for return. Note that this brings
cancel_delayed_work() in line with __cancel_work_timer() in return
value handling.

freezer_read/write() used cgroup_lock_live_group() to synchronize
against task migration into and out of the target cgroup.
cgroup_lock_live_group() grabs the internal cgroup lock and using it
from outside cgroup core leads to complex and fragile locking
dependency issues which are difficult to resolve.
Now that freezer_can_attach() is replaced with freezer_attach() and
update_if_frozen() updated, nothing requires excluding migration
against freezer state reads and changes.
This patch removes cgroup_lock_live_group() and the matching
cgroup_unlock() usages. The prone-to-bitrot, already outdated and
unnecessary global lock hierarchy documentation is replaced with
documentation in local scope.

Locking will change such that migration can happen while
freezer_read/write() is in progress. This means that
update_if_frozen() can no longer assume that all tasks in the cgroup
coform to the current freezer state - newly migrated tasks which
haven't finished freezer_attach() yet might be in any state.
This patch updates update_if_frozen() such that it no longer verifies
task states against freezer state. It now simply decides whether
FREEZING stage is complete.
This removal of verification makes it meaningless to call from
freezer_change_state(). Drop it and move the fast exit test from
freezer_read() - the only left caller - to update_if_frozen().

cgroup_freezer is one of the few users of cgroup_subsys->can_attach()
and uses it to prevent tasks from being migrated into or out of a
frozen cgroup. This makes cgroup_freezer cumbersome to use especially
when co-mounted with other controllers.
->can_attach() is problematic in general as it can make co-mounting
multiple cgroups difficult - migrating tasks may fail for reasons
completely irrelevant for other controllers. freezer_can_attach() in
particular is more problematic because it messes with cgroup internal
locking to ensure that the state verification performed at
freezer_can_attach() stays valid until migration is complete.
This patch replaces freezer_can_attach() with freezer_attach() so that
tasks are always allowed to migrate - they are nudged into the
conforming state from freezer_attach(). This means that there can be
tasks which are being migrated which don't conform to the current
cgroup_freezer state until freezer_attach() is complete. Under the
current locking scheme, the only such place is freezer_fork() which is
updated to handle such window.
While this patch doesn't remove the use of internal cgroup locking
from freezer_read/write() paths, it removes the requirement to keep
the freezer state constant while migrating and enables such change.
Note that this creates a userland visible behavior change - FROZEN
cgroup can no longer be used to lock migrations in and out of the
cgroup. This behavior change is intended. I don't think the feature
is necessary - userland should coordinate accesses to cgroup fs anyway
- and even if the feature is needed cgroup_freezer is the completely
wrong place to implement it.

Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().
This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.
From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.
