* cgroup: disallow debug controller on the default hierarchyTejun Heo2014-05-191-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The debug controller, as its name suggests, exposes cgroup core internals to userland to aid debugging. Unfortunately, except for the name, there's no provision to prevent its usage in production configurations and the controller is widely enabled and mounted leaking internal details to userland. Like most other debug information, the information exposed by debug isn't interesting even for debugging itself once the related parts are working reliably. This controller has no reason for existing. This patch implements cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask which can suppress specific subsystems on the default hierarchy and adds the debug subsystem to it so that it can be gradually deprecated as usages move towards the unified hierarchy.

* cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initializationTejun Heo2014-02-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be. * The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier defined in cgroup_subsys.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. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

* cgroup: drop module supportTejun Heo2014-02-081-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With module supported dropped from net_prio, no controller is using cgroup module support. None of actual resource controllers can be built as a module and we aren't gonna add new controllers which don't control resources. This patch drops module support from cgroup. * cgroup_[un]load_subsys() and cgroup_subsys->module removed. * As there's no point in distinguishing IS_BUILTIN() and IS_MODULE(), cgroup_subsys.h now uses IS_ENABLED() directly. * enum cgroup_subsys_id now exactly matches the list of enabled controllers as ordered in cgroup_subsys.h. * cgroup_subsys[] is now a contiguously occupied array. Size specification is no longer necessary and dropped. * for_each_builtin_subsys() is removed and for_each_subsys() is updated to not require any locking. * module ref handling is removed from rebind_subsystems(). * Module related comments dropped. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core"). v3: Added {} around the if (need_forkexit_callback) block in cgroup_post_fork() for readability as suggested by Li.

* net: netprio: rename config to be more consistent with cgroup configsDaniel Borkmann2014-01-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}. This not only makes the CONFIG option consistent among networking cgroups, but also among cgroups CONFIG conventions in general as the vast majority has a prefix of CONFIG_CGROUP_<SUBSYS>.

* net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into coreDaniel Borkmann2014-01-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Zefan Li requested [1] to perform the following cleanup/refactoring: - Split cgroupfs classid handling into net core to better express a possible more generic use. - Disable module support for cgroupfs bits as the majority of other cgroupfs subsystems do not have that, and seems to be not wished from cgroup side. Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio later on. - By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of functionality built when compiled as module. cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is under net/core/ as suggested by Zefan. No change in functionality, but only code refactoring that is being done here.

* cgroup: remove bcache_subsys_id which got added stealthilyTejun Heo2013-07-091-38/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cafe563591 ("bcache: A block layer cache") added a new cgroup subsystem bcache_subsys without proper review and ack. bcache_subsys seems to use cgroup for group stats and per-group cache_mode configuration. This is very much the type of usage that we don't want to allow. Fortunately, CONFIG_CGROUP_BCACHE which enables bcache_subsys is currently commented out, so this shouldn't have any upstream users. Let's nip in the bud. While at it, clarify in cgroup_subsys.h that no new subsystem should be added without explicit acks from cgroup maintainers.

* cgroup: Wrap subsystem selection macroDaniel Wagner2012-09-141-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before we are able to define all subsystem ids at compile time we need a more fine grained control what gets defined when we include cgroup_subsys.h. For example we define the enums for the subsystems or to declare for struct cgroup_subsys (builtin subsystem) by including cgroup_subsys.h and defining SUBSYS accordingly. Currently, the decision if a subsys is used is defined inside the header by testing if CONFIG_*=y is true. By moving this test outside of cgroup_subsys.h we are able to control it on the include level. This is done by introducing IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED which then is defined according the task, e.g. is CONFIG_*=y or CONFIG_*=m.

* mm/hugetlb: add new HugeTLB cgroupAneesh Kumar K.V2012-07-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a new controller that allows us to control HugeTLB allocations. The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The charge/uncharge calls will be added to HugeTLB code in later patch. Support for cgroup removal will be added in later patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two control files: 1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup. This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem, and is used to index the per-device priority map 2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples <name:priority> where name is the name of a network interface and priority is indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and originating from a pid in this cgroup This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modification Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> CC: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com> CC: "David S.

* cgroup: remove the ns_cgroupDaniel Lezcano2011-05-261-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and leads to some problems: * cgroup creation is out-of-control * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children', where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values. The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to the 'tasks' file. This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used. This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.

* perf: Add cgroup supportStephane Eranian2011-02-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only. The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument to the syscall. For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup: struct perf_event_attr attr; int cgroup_fd, fd; cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY); fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP); close(cgroup_fd); Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> [ added perf_cgroup_{exit,attach} ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4d590250.114ddf0a.689e.4482@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* pkt_sched: Control group classifierThomas Graf2008-11-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work without any special configuration. The principle of the classifier is to directly access the task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work, classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a mechanism is needed to trace softirq context. This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable if actually needed.

* container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystemMatt Helsley2008-10-201-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

* cgroups: implement device whitelistSerge E. Hallyn2008-04-291-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup. A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block). 'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r (read), w (write), and m (mknod). The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not also be removed from the child(ren). An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using devices.deny. For instance echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as /dev/null. Doing echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry. CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

This feature would be useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption. The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with these differences: - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for 2.6.25 after more discussions. - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler classes - Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage counter to be per-cpu - Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in kernel/sched.c) The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting information. Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine.

* revert "Task Control Groups: example CPU accounting subsystem"Andrew Morton2007-11-141-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f. This was originally intended as a simple initial example of how to create a control groups subsystem; it wasn't intended for mainline, but I didn't make this clear enough to Andrew. The CFS cgroup subsystem now has better functionality for the per-cgroup usage accounting (based directly on CFS stats) than the "usage" status file in this patch, and the "load" status file is rather simplistic - although having a per-cgroup load average report would be a useful feature, I don't believe this patch actually provides it. If it gets into the final 2.6.24 we'd probably have to support this interface for ever.

* cgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystemSerge E. Hallyn2007-10-191-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new cgroup is created and the task moves into it. This version names cgroups which are automatically created using cgroup_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of the unsharing or cloned process. (Thanks Pavel for the idea) This is safe because if the process unshares again, it will create /cgroups/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid> The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are 1. pid wraparound 2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again. Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now). In case 2, the node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to make the subsequent unshare() succeed. Changelog: Name cloned cgroups as "node_<pid>". [clg@fr.ibm.com: fix order of cgroup subsystems in init/Kconfig] Signed-off-by: Serge E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This example demonstrates how to use the generic cgroup subsystem for a simple resource tracker that counts, for the processes in a cgroup, the total CPU time used and the %CPU used in the last complete 10 second interval.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the filesystem support logic from the cpusets system and makes cpusets a cgroup subsystem The "cpuset" filesystem becomes a dummy filesystem; attempts to mount it get passed through to the cgroup filesystem with the appropriate options to emulate the old cpuset filesystem behaviour.

* Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup frameworkPaul Menage2007-10-191-0/+10
Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.
