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.
v3: Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt updated.

A cgroup is online and visible to iteration between ->post_create()
and ->pre_destroy(). This patch introduces CGROUP_FREEZER_ONLINE and
toggles it from the newly added freezer_post_create() and
freezer_pre_destroy() while holding freezer->lock such that a
cgroup_freezer can be reilably distinguished to be online. This will
be used by full hierarchy support.
ONLINE test is added to freezer_apply_state() but it currently doesn't
make any difference as freezer_write() can only be called for an
online cgroup.
Adjusting system_freezing_cnt on destruction is moved from
freezer_destroy() to the new freezer_pre_destroy() for consistency.
This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

freezer->state was an enum value - one of THAWED, FREEZING and FROZEN.
As the scheduled full hierarchy support requires more than one
freezing condition, switch it to mask of flags. If FREEZING is not
set, it's thawed. FREEZING is set if freezing or frozen. If frozen,
both FREEZING and FROZEN are set. Now that tasks can be attached to
an already frozen cgroup, this also makes freezing condition checks
more natural.

try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks
to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -> RUNNING transition
can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does
not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task->state back to
RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.
We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.
And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen
no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the
non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was
specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough".
v2: As Tejun pointed out, we can also change get_signal_to_deliver()
and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.

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.

cgroup_freezer doesn't transition from FREEZING to FROZEN if the
cgroup contains PF_NOFREEZE tasks or tasks sleeping with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP set.
Only kernel tasks can be non-freezable (PF_NOFREEZE) and there's
nothing cgroup_freezer or userland can do about or to it. It's
pointless to stall the transition for PF_NOFREEZE tasks.
PF_FREEZER_SKIP indicates that the task can be skipped when
determining whether frozen state is reached. A task with
PF_FREEZER_SKIP is guaranteed to perform try_to_freeze() after it
wakes up and can be considered frozen much like stopped or traced
tasks. Note that a vfork parent uses PF_FREEZER_SKIP while waiting
for the child.
This updates update_if_frozen() such that it only considers freezable
tasks and treats %true freezer_should_skip() tasks as frozen.
This allows cgroups w/ kthreads and vfork parents successfully reach
FROZEN state.

try_to_freeze_cgroup() has condition checks which are intended to fail
the write operation to freezer.state if there are tasks which can't be
frozen. The condition checks have been broken for quite some time
now. freeze_task() returns %false if the target task can't be frozen,
so num_cant_freeze_now is never incremented.
In addition, strangely, cgroup freezing proceeds even after the write
is failed, which is rather broken.
This patch rips out the non-working code intended to fail the write to
freezer.state when the cgroup contains non-freezable tasks and makes
it official that writes to freezer.state succeed whether there are
non-freezable tasks in the cgroup or not.
This leaves is_task_frozen_enough() with only one user -
upste_if_frozen(). Collapse it into the caller. Note that this
removes an extra call to freezing().
This doesn't cause any userland behavior changes.

cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state. If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.
cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set. Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer. If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.
This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.
Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.
These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.
Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.
This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.
* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.
* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.
For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.
v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.
v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.

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.

2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state
transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple
frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks
because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING
state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches
CGROUP_FROZEN.
Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations
(update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider
stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when
testing frozen tasks.

mount -t cgroup -o freezer none /dev/freezer
mkdir /dev/freezer/foo
sleep 1h &

Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single
freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the
cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy.
thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in
effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup
freezers.
This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and
fragile. A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from
freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in
effect.
This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of
freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such
that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is
active and the task should freeze. On fast path, freezing() is still
very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.
This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and
freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the
new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state
and comply. As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's
race-free.
* This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task(). Replace the open
coded tests with freezing().
* p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in
try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path. This is necessary as freezing()
is now true for the task which initiated freezing too.

without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized.
This will be later dealt with using attach hooks.

Currently freezing (TIF_FREEZE) and frozen (PF_FROZEN) states are
interlocked - freezing is set to request freeze and when the task
actually freezes, it clears freezing and sets frozen.
This interlocking makes things more complex than necessary - freezing
doesn't mean there's freezing condition in effect and frozen doesn't
match the task actually entering and leaving frozen state (it's
cleared by the thawing task).
This patch makes freezing indicate that freeze condition is in effect.
A task enters and stays frozen if freezing. This makes PF_FROZEN
manipulation done only by the task itself and prevents wakeup from
__thaw_task() leaking outside of refrigerator.
The only place which needs to tell freezing && !frozen is
try_to_freeze_task() to whine about tasks which don't enter frozen.
It's updated to test the condition explicitly.
With the change, frozen() state my linger after __thaw_task() until
the task wakes up and exits fridge. This can trigger BUG_ON() in
update_if_frozen(). Work it around by testing freezing() && frozen()

thaw_process() now has only internal users - system and cgroup
freezers. Remove the unnecessary return value, rename, unexport and
collapse __thaw_process() into it. This will help further updates to
the freezer code.
-v3: oom_kill grew a use of thaw_process() while this patch was
pending. Convert it to use __thaw_task() for now. In the longer
term, this should be handled by allowing tasks to die if killed
even if it's frozen.
-v2: minor style update as suggested by Matt.

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.
Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.
This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

There are 4 state transitions possible for a freezer. Only FREEZING ->
FROZEN transaction is done lazily. This patch allows update_freezer_state
only to perform this transaction and renames the function to
update_if_frozen.
Moreover is_task_frozen_enough function is removed and its every occurence
is replaced with frozen(). Therefore for a group to become FROZEN every
task must be frozen.
The previous version could trigger a following bug: When cgroup is in the
process of freezing (but none of its tasks are frozen yet),
update_freezer_state() (called from freezer_read or freezer_write) would
incorrectly report that a group is 'THAWED' (because nfrozen = 0),
allowing the transaction FREEZING -> THAWED without writing anything to
'freezer.state'. This is incorrect according to the documentation. This
could result in a 'THAWED' cgroup with frozen tasks inside.

It is possible to move a task from its cgroup even if this group is
'FREEZING'. This results in a nasty bug - the moved task will become
frozen OUTSIDE its original cgroup and will remain in a permanent 'D'
state.
This patch allows to migrate the task only between THAWED cgroups.
This behavior was observed and easily reproduced on a single core laptop.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw
those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer
state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN. If so
then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates
that the task should remain frozen.
This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state
transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads
or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that
resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if
there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this
transition before suspend.
NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup
freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons:
Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires
walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen.
Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number
of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code
path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered.
Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy
updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that
a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that
state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen
cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with
a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a
pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.)
Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right
information.

With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root
cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable.
I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And
then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not
used.
Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather
than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.

In theory the task can be moved to another cgroup and the freezer will be
freed right after task_lock is dropped, so the lock results in zero
protection.
But in the case of freezer_fork() no lock is needed, since the task is not
in tasklist yet so it won't be moved to another cgroup, so task->cgroups
won't be changed or invalidated.

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.
