492eb21b98 cgroup: make hierarchy iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in
subsystem API.  For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because

* In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway.

* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different
  subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the
  hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.
  Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
  subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and
  subsystem

* For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created
  and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy.  Having
  cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot
  easier.

Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward.  Noteworthy changes
are

* blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used.  Removed.

* freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used.  Removed.

* devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used.  Removed.

182446d087 cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in file methods
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup.
Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods
for rationale.

This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of
@cgroup.  cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem
pointer set.  These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the
previous patch and can be converted the same way.

Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some
interesting ones.

* freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead
  of @cgroup for consistency.  This will make the code look simpler
  too once iterators are converted to use css.

* memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to
  vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.
  Updated accordingly.

* cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left.  Removed.

* cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left.  Removed.

* hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left.
  Removed.

* net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left.  Removed.

eb95419b02 cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in subsystem methods
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.

* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
  unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
  created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
  which is different from the current state where all css's are
  allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup.  This
  in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
  return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.

* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
  hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
  differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
  being performed for.

* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
  cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's.  Subsystem methods
  often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
  bother with the cgroup pointer itself.  Passing around css fits
  much better.

This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup.  The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  A few
noteworthy changes are

* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
  pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
  exist yet.  Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
  subsystems.

* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
  dereference is replaced with local variable access.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
    with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.

    Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
    that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
    leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.  Suggested
    by Li Zefan.

6387698699 cgroup: add css_parent()
Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css.  cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.

This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent.  The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.

freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.

* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
  parent_ca().  The only difference between the two was NULL test on
  cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
  distinction moot.  Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
  added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

a7c6d554aa cgroup: add/update accessors which obtain subsys specific data from css
css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure.  Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast.  As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.

All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases.  While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.

* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
  accessor.  Added.

* memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly
  handle NULL input.  Updated.

8af01f56a0 cgroup: s/cgroup_subsys_state/cgroup_css/ s/task_subsys_state/task_css/
The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward.  Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.

Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css().  This patch is pure rename.

Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:
 "cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup
  right after creation didn't allow any task executions before
  configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the
  descendants irreversibly and so on.  These behaviors are inherently
  nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other
  controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy.

  Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for
  __DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull
  request.  It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further
  but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior.  In the process, the
  rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the
  limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified."

f047cecf2c cpuset: fix to migrate mm correctly in a corner case
Before moving tasks out of empty cpusets, update_tasks_nodemask()
is called, which calls do_migrate_pages(xx, from, to). Then those
tasks are moved to an ancestor, and do_migrate_pages() is called
again.

The first time: from = node_to_be_offlined, to = empty.
The second time: from = empty, to = ancestor's nodemask.

so looks like no pages will be migrated.

Fix this by:

- Don't call update_tasks_nodemask() on empty cpusets.
- Pass cs->old_mems_allowed to do_migrate_pages().

v4: added comment in cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() and rephased comment
    in cpuset_attach().

88fa523bff cpuset: allow to move tasks to empty cpusets
Currently some cpuset behaviors are not friendly when cpuset is co-mounted
with other cgroup controllers.

Now with this patchset if cpuset is mounted with sane_behavior option,
it behaves differently:

- Tasks will be kept in empty cpusets when hotplug happens and take
  masks of ancestors with non-empty cpus/mems, instead of being moved to
  an ancestor.

- A task can be moved into an empty cpuset, and again it takes masks of
  ancestors, so the user can drop a task into a newly created cgroup without
  having to do anything for it.

As tasks can reside in empy cpusets, here're some rules:

- They can be moved to another cpuset, regardless it's empty or not.

- Though it takes masks from ancestors, it takes other configs from the
  empty cpuset.

- If the ancestors' masks are changed, those tasks will also be updated
  to take new masks.

5c5cc62321 cpuset: allow to keep tasks in empty cpusets
To achieve this:

- We call update_tasks_cpumask/nodemask() for empty cpusets when
hotplug happens, instead of moving tasks out of them.

- When a cpuset's masks are changed by writing cpuset.cpus/mems,
we also update tasks in child cpusets which are empty.

v3:
- do propagation work in one place for both hotplug and unplug

v2:
- drop rcu_read_lock before calling update_task_nodemask() and
  update_task_cpumask(), instead of using workqueue.
- add documentation in include/linux/cgroup.h

changing cpuset->mems_allowed. This patch changes it by saving
old mems_allowed in cpuset->old_mems_allowed.

e44193d39e cpuset: let hotplug propagation work wait for task attaching
Instead of triggering propagation work in cpuset_attach(), we make
hotplug propagation work wait until there's no task attaching in
progress.

IMO this is more robust. We won't see empty masks in cpuset_attach().

Also it's a preparation for removing propagation work. Without asynchronous
propagation we can't call move_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() in cpuset_attach(),
because otherwise we'll deadlock on cgroup_mutex.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Fixes and a lot of cleanups.  Locking cleanup is finally complete.
   cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
   used to cause nasty deadlock issues.  Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
   bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().

 - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.

 - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.

 - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added.  As indicated
   by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
   point and generates a warning message when used.  Unfortunately,
   cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
   to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top.  The new flag
   is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
   implement consistent unified hierarchy.  It's likely that this flag
   won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
   implicitly along with unified hierarchy.

   The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
   and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
   which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
   partially honored.  It will also be used to implement hierarchy
   support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
   introducing a full separate set of control knobs.

   This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
   at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
   the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
   is at least somewhat sane.  The planned unified hierarchy is likely
   to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
   it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
   it's supportable in the long term.

   Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
   shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
   it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future.  Maybe we'll be able
   to drop it in a decade.

Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time.  The changes achieve
  the followings.

   - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
     updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
     This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
     neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.

   - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
     used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
     Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
     affinity.  It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
     future.  The attributes can be specified either by calling
     apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
     the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.

     The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
     shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes.  When
     attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
     worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
     items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
     alone.

     This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
     want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues.  The writeback pool
     is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
     are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.

   - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
     to make it NUMA-aware.  Because there's no association between work
     item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
     this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
     bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
     to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.

     After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
     NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
     the same node.  This is turned on by default but can be disabled
     system-wide or for individual workqueues.

     Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
     different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
     per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
     be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
     idle cycles.

  While the new features required a lot of changes including
  restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
  The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
  new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
  different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
  execution or flush paths.

  As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
  relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
  basic correctness of work item execution and handling.  If something
  is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
  with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
  changed or during CPU hotplug.

  While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
  more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
  combinations of attributes.  Assuming everything else is the same,
  NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
  CPUs.

  There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
  workqueue tree.

   - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
     pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
     exposed.  This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
     NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.

   - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
     between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
     they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
     backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted.  This is
     resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
     printed when the task is dumped.  As this change involves unifying
     implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
     being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

8cc9934520 cgroup, cpuset: replace move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() with cgroup_transfer_tasks()
When a cpuset becomes empty (no CPU or memory), its tasks are
transferred with the nearest ancestor with execution resources.  This
is implemented using cgroup_scan_tasks() with a callback which grabs
cgroup_mutex and invokes cgroup_attach_task() on each task.

Both cgroup_mutex and cgroup_attach_task() are scheduled to be
unexported.  Implement cgroup_transfer_tasks() in cgroup proper which
is essentially the same as move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() except that
it takes cgroups instead of cpusets and @to comes before @from like
normal functions with those arguments, and replace
move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() with it.

14a40ffccd sched: replace PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were
bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag
set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself.  Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with
cpus_allowed of workqueue workers.

What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks.  In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work
items to the task anyway.

This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY.
sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set.
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag.

This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.

   After this change, there only remain a couple of mostly trivial

5d21cc2db0 cpuset: replace cgroup_mutex locking with cpuset internal locking
Supposedly for historical reasons, cpuset depends on cgroup core for
locking.  It depends on cgroup_mutex in cgroup callbacks and grabs
cgroup_mutex from other places where it wants to be synchronized.
This is majorly messy and highly prone to introducing circular locking
dependency especially because cgroup_mutex is supposed to be one of
the outermost locks.

As previous patches already plugged possible races which may happen by
decoupling from cgroup_mutex, replacing cgroup_mutex with cpuset
specific cpuset_mutex is mostly straight-forward.  Introduce
cpuset_mutex, replace all occurrences of cgroup_mutex with it, and add
cpuset_mutex locking to places which inherited cgroup_mutex from
cgroup core.

The only complication is from cpuset wanting to initiate task
migration when a cpuset loses all cpus or memory nodes.  Task
migration may go through full cgroup and all subsystem locking and
should be initiated without holding any cpuset specific lock; however,
a previous patch already made hotplug handled asynchronously and
moving the task migration part outside other locks is easy.
cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() now invokes
remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() without holding any lock.

02bb586372 cpuset: schedule hotplug propagation from cpuset_attach() if the cpuset is empty
cpuset is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_lock which will make
hotplug handling race with task migration.  cpus or mems will be
allowed to go offline between ->can_attach() and ->attach().  If
hotplug takes down all cpus or mems of a cpuset while attach is in
progress, ->attach() may end up putting tasks into an empty cpuset.

This patchset makes ->attach() schedule hotplug propagation if the
cpuset is empty after attaching is complete.  This will move the tasks
to the nearest ancestor which can execute and the end result would be
as if hotplug handling happened after the tasks finished attaching.

cpuset_write_resmask() now also flushes cpuset_propagate_hotplug_wq to
wait for propagations scheduled directly by cpuset_attach().

This currently doesn't make any functional difference as everything is
protected by cgroup_mutex but enables decoupling the locking.

This patch adds cpuset->attach_in_progress which is incremented from

either successfully or not.  validate_change() treats cpusets w/

8d03394877 cpuset: make CPU / memory hotplug propagation asynchronous
cpuset_hotplug_workfn() has been invoking cpuset_propagate_hotplug()
directly to propagate hotplug updates to !root cpusets; however, this
has the following problems.

* cpuset locking is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_mutex,
  cgroup_mutex will be unexported, and cgroup_attach_task() will do
  cgroup locking internally, so propagation can't synchronously move
  tasks to a parent cgroup while walking the hierarchy.

* We can't use cgroup generic tree iterator because propagation to
  each cpuset may sleep.  With propagation done asynchronously, we can
  lose the rather ugly cpuset specific iteration.

Convert cpuset_propagate_hotplug() to
cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() and execute it from newly added
cpuset->hotplug_work.  The work items are run on an ordered workqueue,
so the propagation order is preserved.  cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
schedules all propagations while holding cgroup_mutex and waits for
completion without cgroup_mutex.  Each in-flight propagation holds a
reference to the cpuset->css.

This patch doesn't cause any functional difference.

699140ba83 cpuset: drop async_rebuild_sched_domains()
In general, we want to make cgroup_mutex one of the outermost locks
and be able to use get_online_cpus() and friends from cgroup methods.
With cpuset hotplug made async, get_online_cpus() can now be nested
inside cgroup_mutex.

Currently, cpuset avoids nesting get_online_cpus() inside cgroup_mutex
by bouncing sched_domain rebuilding to a work item.  As such nesting
is allowed now, remove the workqueue bouncing code and always rebuild
sched_domains synchronously.  This also nests sched_domains_mutex
inside cgroup_mutex, which is intended and should be okay.

3a5a6d0c2b cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside get_online_cpus()
CPU / memory hotplug path currently grabs cgroup_mutex from hotplug
event notifications.  We want to separate cpuset locking from cgroup
core and make cgroup_mutex outer to hotplug synchronization so that,
among other things, mechanisms which depend on get_online_cpus() can
be used from cgroup callbacks.  In general, we want to keep
cgroup_mutex the outermost lock to minimize locking interactions among
different controllers.

Convert cpuset_handle_hotplug() to cpuset_hotplug_workfn() and
schedule it from the hotplug notifications.  As the function can
already handle multiple mixed events without any input, converting it
to a work function is mostly trivial; however, one complication is
that cpuset_update_active_cpus() needs to update sched domains
synchronously to reflect an offlined cpu to avoid confusing the
scheduler.  This is worked around by falling back to the the default
single sched domain synchronously before scheduling the actual hotplug
work.  This makes sched domain rebuilt twice per CPU hotplug event but
the operation isn't that heavy and a lot of the second operation would
be noop for systems w/ single sched domain, which is the common case.

This decouples cpuset hotplug handling from the notification callbacks
and there can be an arbitrary delay between the actual event and
updates to cpusets.  Scheduler and mm can handle it fine but moving
tasks out of an empty cpuset may race against writes to the cpuset
restoring execution resources which can lead to confusing behavior.
Flush hotplug work item from cpuset_write_resmask() to avoid such
confusions.

v2: Synchronous sched domain rebuilding using the fallback sched
    domain added.  This fixes various issues caused by confused
    scheduler putting tasks on a dead CPU, including the one reported
    by Li Zefan.
