295458e672 cgroup: call cgroup_subsys->bind on cgroup subsys initialization
Currently, we call cgroup_subsys->bind only on unmount, remount, and
when creating a new root on mount. Since the default hierarchy root is
created in cgroup_init, we will not call cgroup_subsys->bind if the
default hierarchy is freshly mounted. As a result, some controllers will
behave incorrectly (most notably, the "memory" controller will not
enable hierarchy support). Fix this by calling cgroup_subsys->bind right
after initializing a cgroup subsystem.

dfeb0750b6 kernfs: remove KERNFS_STATIC_NAME
When a new kernfs node is created, KERNFS_STATIC_NAME is used to avoid
making a separate copy of its name.  It's currently only used for sysfs
attributes whose filenames are required to stay accessible and unchanged.
There are rare exceptions where these names are allocated and formatted
dynamically but for the vast majority of cases they're consts in the
rodata section.

Now that kernfs is converted to use kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(),
there's little point in keeping KERNFS_STATIC_NAME around.  Remove it.

01e586598b cgroup: release css->id after css_free
Currently, we release css->id in css_release_work_fn, right before calling
css_free callback, so that when css_free is called, the id may have
already been reused for a new cgroup.

I am going to use css->id to create unique names for per memcg kmem
caches.  Since kmem caches are destroyed only on css_free, I need css->id
to be freed after css_free was called to avoid name clashes.  This patch
therefore moves css->id removal to css_free_work_fn.  To prevent
css_from_id from returning a pointer to a stale css, it makes
css_release_work_fn replace the css ptr at css_idr:css->id with NULL.

3c606d35fe cgroup: prevent mount hang due to memory controller lifetime
Since b2052564e6 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from
offlined groups"), re-mounting the memory controller after using it is
very likely to hang.

The cgroup core assumes that any remaining references after deleting a
cgroup are temporary in nature, and synchroneously waits for them, but
the above-mentioned commit has left-over page cache pin its css until
it is reclaimed naturally.  That being said, swap entries and charged
kernel memory have been doing the same indefinite pinning forever, the
bug is just more likely to trigger with left-over page cache.

Reparenting kernel memory is highly impractical, which leaves changing
the cgroup assumptions to reflect this: once a controller has been
mounted and used, it has internal state that is independent from mount
and cgroup lifetime.  It can be unmounted and remounted, but it can't
be reconfigured during subsequent mounts.

Don't offline the controller root as long as there are any children,
dead or alive.  A remount will no longer wait for these old references
to drain, it will simply mount the persistent controller state again.

eeecbd1971 cgroup: implement cgroup_get_e_css()
Implement cgroup_get_e_css() which finds and gets the effective css
for the specified cgroup and subsystem combination.  This function
always returns a valid pinned css.  This will be used by cgroup
writeback support.

While at it, add comment to cgroup_e_css() to explain why that
function is different from cgroup_get_e_css() and has to test
cgrp->child_subsys_mask instead of cgroup_css(cgrp, ss).

db6e305345 cgroup: fix the async css offline wait logic in cgroup_subtree_control_write()
When a subsystem is offlined, its entry on @cgrp->subsys[] is cleared
asynchronously.  If cgroup_subtree_control_write() is requested to
enable the subsystem again before the entry is cleared, it has to wait
for the previous offlining to finish and clear the @cgrp->subsys[]
entry before trying to enable the subsystem again.

This is currently done while verifying the input enable / disable
parameters.  This used to be correct but f63070d350 ("cgroup: make
interface files visible iff enabled on cgroup->subtree_control")
breaks it.  The commit is one of the commits implementing subsystem
dependency.

Through subsystem dependency, some subsystems may be enabled and
disabled implicitly in addition to the explicitly requested ones.  The
actual subsystems to be enabled and disabled are determined during
@css_enable/disable calculation.  The current offline wait logic skips
the ones which are already implicitly enabled and then waits for
subsystems in @enable; however, this misses the subsystems which may
be implicitly enabled through dependency from @enable.  If such
implicitly subsystem hasn't yet finished offlining yet, the function
ends up trying to create a css when its @cgrp->subsys[] slot is
already occupied triggering BUG_ON() in init_and_link_css().

Fix it by moving the wait logic after @css_enable is calculated and
waiting for all the subsystems in @css_enable.  This fixes the above
bug as the mask contains all subsystems which are to be enabled
including the ones enabled through dependencies.

755bf5ee86 cgroup: restructure child_subsys_mask handling in cgroup_subtree_control_write()
Make cgroup_subtree_control_write() first calculate new
subtree_control (new_sc), child_subsys_mask (new_ss) and
css_enable/disable masks before applying them to the cgroup.  Also,
store the original subtree_control (old_sc) and child_subsys_mask
(old_ss) and use them to restore the orignal state after failure.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior changes.  This prepares for a
fix for a bug in the async css offline wait logic.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on percpu front.  Notable changes are...

   - percpu allocator now can take @gfp.  If @gfp doesn't contain
     GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
     the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
     certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.

     This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
     blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
     writeback IOs.

     Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
     preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe
     ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
     just now.

   - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
     ints.  It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
     64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
     allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
     directly.

   - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
     percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
     percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
     mode.  This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
     the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
     in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
     operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
     blk-mq support).  It's also planned to be used to implement forced
     single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.

  There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
  up the duplicate percpu accessors.  That branch causes a number of
  conflicts with s390 and other trees.  I'll send a separate pull
  request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

e756c7b698 Revert "cgroup: remove redundant variable in cgroup_mount()"
This reverts commit 0c7bf3e8ca.

If there are child cgroups in the cgroupfs and then we umount it,
the superblock will be destroyed but the cgroup_root will be kept
around. When we mount it again, cgroup_mount() will find this
cgroup_root and allocate a new sb for it.

So with this commit we will be trapped in a dead loop in the case
described above, because kernfs_pin_sb() keeps returning NULL.

Currently I don't see how we can avoid using both pinned_sb and
new_sb, so just revert it.

2aad2a86f6 percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flags
With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
persistent switch use cases.

Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.

This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
following flags.

* PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC	: start ref in atomic mode
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD		: start ref killed and drained

These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.

v2: target_core_tpg.c conversion was missing.  Fixed.

Both pinned_sb and new_sb indicate if a new superblock is needed,
so we can just remove new_sb.

Note now we must check if kernfs_tryget_sb() returns NULL, because
when it returns NULL, kernfs_mount() may still re-use an existing
superblock, which is just allocated by another concurent mount.

a25eb52e81 cgroup: remove CGRP_RELEASABLE flag
We call put_css_set() after setting CGRP_RELEASABLE flag in
cgroup_task_migrate(), but in other places we call it without setting
the flag. I don't see the necessity of this flag.

Moreover once the flag is set, it will never be cleared, unless writing
to the notify_on_release control file, so it can be quite confusing
if we look at the output of debug.releasable.

  # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /cgroup
  # mkdir /cgroup/child
  # cat /cgroup/child/debug.releasable
  0   <-- shows 0 though the cgroup is empty
  # echo $$ > /cgroup/child/tasks
  # cat /cgroup/child/debug.releasable
  0
  # echo $$ > /cgroup/tasks && echo $$ > /cgroup/child/tasks
  # cat /proc/child/debug.releasable
  1   <-- shows 1 though the cgroup is not empty

This patch removes the flag, and now debug.releasable shows if the
cgroup is empty or not.

fa8137be6b cgroup: Display legacy cgroup files on default hierarchy
Kernel command line parameter cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl forces
legacy cgroup files to show up on default hierarhcy if susbsystem does
not have any files defined for default hierarchy.

But this seems to be working only if legacy files are defined in
ss->legacy_cftypes. If one adds some cftypes later using
cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes(), these files don't show up on default
hierarchy.  Update the function accordingly so that the dynamically
added legacy files also show up in the default hierarchy if the target
subsystem is also using the base legacy files for the default
hierarchy.

 "Mostly changes to get the v2 interface ready.  The core features are
  mostly ready now and I think it's reasonable to expect to drop the

   - cgroup added a controller dependency mechanism so that block cgroup
     can depend on memory cgroup.  This will be used to finally support
     IO provisioning on the writeback traffic, which is currently being
     implemented.

   - The v2 interface now uses a separate table so that the interface
     files for the new interface are explicitly declared in one place.
     Each controller will explicitly review and add the files for the
     new interface.

   - cpuset is getting ready for the hierarchical behavior which is in
     the similar style with other controllers so that an ancestor's
     configuration change doesn't change the descendants' configurations
     irreversibly and processes aren't silently migrated when a CPU or

cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask determines which subsystems are not
supported on the default hierarchy and is currently initialized
statically and just includes the debug subsystem.  Now that there's
cgroup_subsys->dfl_files, we can easily tell which subsystems support
the default hierarchy or not.

Let's initialize cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask by testing whether
cgroup_subsys->dfl_files is NULL.  After all, subsystems with NULL
->dfl_files aren't useable on the default hierarchy anyway.

CFTYPE_INSANE is renamed to __CFTYPE_NOT_ON_DFL for consistency.  The

a8ddc8215e cgroup: distinguish the default and legacy hierarchies when handling cftypes
Until now, cftype arrays carried files for both the default and legacy
hierarchies and the files which needed to be used on only one of them
were flagged with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE.  This
gets confusing very quickly and we may end up exposing interface files
to the default hierarchy without thinking it through.

This patch makes cgroup core provide separate sets of interfaces for
cftype handling so that the cftypes for the default and legacy
hierarchies are clearly distinguished.  The previous two patches
renamed the existing ones so that they clearly indicate that they're
for the legacy hierarchies.  This patch adds the interface for the
default hierarchy and apply them selectively depending on the
hierarchy type.

* cftypes added through cgroup_subsys->dfl_cftypes and
  cgroup_add_dfl_cftypes() only show up on the default hierarchy.

* cftypes added through cgroup_subsys->legacy_cftypes and
  cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes() only show up on the legacy hierarchies.

* cgroup_subsys->dfl_cftypes and ->legacy_cftypes can point to the
  same array for the cases where the interface files are identical on
  both types of hierarchies.

* This makes all the existing subsystem interface files legacy-only by
  default and all subsystems will have no interface file created when
  enabled on the default hierarchy.  Each subsystem should explicitly
  review and compose the interface for the default hierarchy.

* A boot param "cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl" is added which
  makes subsystems which haven't decided the interface files for the
  default hierarchy to present the legacy files on the default
  hierarchy so that its behavior on the default hierarchy can be
  tested.  As the awkward name suggests, this is for development only.

* memcg's CFTYPE_INSANE on "use_hierarchy" is noop now as the whole
  array isn't used on the default hierarchy.  The flag is removed.

v2: Updated documentation for cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl.

v3: Clear CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL and CFTYPE_INSANE when cfts are removed
    as suggested by Li.

2cf669a58d cgroup: replace cgroup_add_cftypes() with cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes()
Currently, cftypes added by cgroup_add_cftypes() are used for both the
unified default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each
file with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to
appear only on one of them.  This is quite hairy and error-prone.
Also, we may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy
without thinking it through.

cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype addition functions and
apply each only on the hierarchies of the matching type.  This will
allow organizing cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems
to scrutinize the interface which is being exposed in the new default
hierarchy.

In preparation, this patch adds cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes() which
currently is a simple wrapper around cgroup_add_cftypes() and replaces
all cgroup_add_cftypes() usages with it.

While at it, this patch drops a completely spurious return from
__hugetlb_cgroup_file_init().

This patch doesn't introduce any functional differences.

Currently cgroup_base_files[] contains the cgroup core interface files
for both legacy and default hierarchies with each file tagged with
CFTYPE_INSANE and CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL.  This is difficult to read.

Let's separate it out to two separate tables, cgroup_dfl_base_files[]

cgroup_mkdir() depending on the hierarchy type.  This makes tagging
each file unnecessary.

7b9a6ba56e cgroup: clean up sane_behavior handling
After the previous patch to remove sane_behavior support from
non-default hierarchies, CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR is used only to
indicate the default hierarchy while parsing mount options.  This
patch makes the following cleanups around it.

* Don't show it in the mount option.  Eventually the default hierarchy
  will be assigned a different filesystem type.

* As sane_behavior is no longer effective on non-default hierarchies
  and the default hierarchy doesn't accept any mount options,
  parse_cgroupfs_options() can consider sane_behavior mount option as
  indicating the default hierarchy and fail if any other options are
  specified with it.  While at it, remove one of the double blank
  lines in the function.

* cgroup_mount() can now simply test CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR to tell
  whether to mount the default hierarchy or not.

* As CGROUP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR's only role now is indicating whether
  to select the default hierarchy or not during mount, it doesn't need
  to be set in the default hierarchy itself.  cgroup_init_early()
  updated accordingly.

aa6ec29bee cgroup: remove sane_behavior support on non-default hierarchies
sane_behavior has been used as a development vehicle for the default
unified hierarchy.  Now that the default hierarchy is in place, the
flag became redundant and confusing as its usage is allowed on all
hierarchies.  There are gonna be either the default hierarchy or
legacy ones.  Let's make that clear by removing sane_behavior support
on non-default hierarchies.

This patch replaces cgroup_sane_behavior() with cgroup_on_dfl().  The
comment on top of CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR is moved to on top of
cgroup_on_dfl() with sane_behavior specific part dropped.

On the default and legacy hierarchies w/o sane_behavior, this
shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

af0ba6789c cgroup: implement cgroup_subsys->depends_on
Currently, the blkio subsystem attributes all of writeback IOs to the
root.  One of the issues is that there's no way to tell who originated
a writeback IO from block layer.  Those IOs are usually issued
asynchronously from a task which didn't have anything to do with
actually generating the dirty pages.  The memory subsystem, when
enabled, already keeps track of the ownership of each dirty page and
it's desirable for blkio to piggyback instead of adding its own
per-page tag.

blkio piggybacking on memory is an implementation detail which
preferably should be handled automatically without requiring explicit
userland action.  To achieve that, this patch implements
cgroup_subsys->depends_on which contains the mask of subsystems which
should be enabled together when the subsystem is enabled.

The previous patches already implemented the support for enabled but
invisible subsystems and cgroup_subsys->depends_on can be easily
implemented by updating cgroup_refresh_child_subsys_mask() so that it
calculates cgroup->child_subsys_mask considering
cgroup_subsys->depends_on of the explicitly enabled subsystems.

Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt is updated to explain that
subsystems may not become immediately available after being unused
from userland and that dependency could be a factor in it.  As
subsystems may already keep residual references, this doesn't
significantly change how subsystem rebinding can be used.

b4536f0cab cgroup: implement cgroup_subsys->css_reset()
cgroup is implementing support for subsystem dependency which would
require a way to enable a subsystem even when it's not directly
configured through "cgroup.subtree_control".

The previous patches added support for explicitly and implicitly
enabled subsystems and showing/hiding their interface files.  An
explicitly enabled subsystem may become implicitly enabled if it's
turned off through "cgroup.subtree_control" but there are subsystems
depending on it.  In such cases, the subsystem, as it's turned off
when seen from userland, shouldn't enforce any resource control.
Also, the subsystem may be explicitly turned on later again and its
interface files should be as close to the intial state as possible.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys->css_reset() which is invoked when a css
is hidden.  The callback should disable resource control and reset the
state to the vanilla state.

cgroup is implementing support for subsystem dependency which would
require a way to enable a subsystem even when it's not directly
configured through "cgroup.subtree_control".

The preceding patch distinguished cgroup->subtree_control and
->child_subsys_mask where the former is the subsystems explicitly
configured by the userland and the latter is all enabled subsystems
currently is equal to the former but will include subsystems
implicitly enabled through dependency.

Subsystems which are enabled due to dependency shouldn't be visible to
userland.  This patch updates cgroup_subtree_control_write() and
create_css() such that interface files are not created for implicitly
enabled subsytems.

* @visible paramter is added to create_css().  Interface files are
  created only when true.

* If an already implicitly enabled subsystem is turned on through
  "cgroup.subtree_control", the existing css should be used.  css
  draining is skipped.

* cgroup_subtree_control_write() computes the new target
  cgroup->child_subsys_mask and create/kill or show/hide csses
  accordingly.

As the two subsystem masks are still kept identical, this patch
doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

667c249171 cgroup: introduce cgroup->subtree_control
cgroup is implementing support for subsystem dependency which would
require a way to enable a subsystem even when it's not directly
configured through "cgroup.subtree_control".

Previously, cgroup->child_subsys_mask directly reflected
"cgroup.subtree_control" and the enabled subsystems in the child
cgroups.  This patch adds cgroup->subtree_control which
"cgroup.subtree_control" operates on.  cgroup->child_subsys_mask is
now calculated from cgroup->subtree_control by
cgroup_refresh_child_subsys_mask(), which sets it identical to
cgroup->subtree_control for now.

This will allow using cgroup->child_subsys_mask for all the enabled
subsystems including the implicit ones and ->subtree_control for
tracking the explicitly requested ones.  This patch keeps the two
masks identical and doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

3a32bd72d7 cgroup: fix a race between cgroup_mount() and cgroup_kill_sb()
We've converted cgroup to kernfs so cgroup won't be intertwined with
vfs objects and locking, but there are dark areas.

Run two instances of this script concurrently:

    for ((; ;))
    {
    	mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup
    	umount /cgroup
    }

After a while, I saw two mount processes were stuck at retrying, because
they were waiting for a subsystem to become free, but the root associated
with this subsystem never got freed.

This can happen, if thread A is in the process of killing superblock but
hasn't called percpu_ref_kill(), and at this time thread B is mounting
the same cgroup root and finds the root in the root list and performs
percpu_ref_try_get().

To fix this, we try to increase both the refcnt of the superblock and the
percpu refcnt of cgroup root.

v2:
- we should try to get both the superblock refcnt and cgroup_root refcnt,
  because cgroup_root may have no superblock assosiated with it.
- adjust/add comments.

tj: Updated comments.  Renamed @sb to @pinned_sb.
