e605b36575 cgroup: fix cgroup_subsys_state leak for seq_files
If a cgroup file implements either read_map() or read_seq_string(),
such file is served using seq_file by overriding file->f_op to
cgroup_seqfile_operations, which also overrides the release method to
single_release() from cgroup_file_release().

Because cgroup_file_open() didn't use to acquire any resources, this
used to be fine, but since f7d58818ba ("cgroup: pin
cgroup_subsys_state when opening a cgroupfs file"), cgroup_file_open()
pins the css (cgroup_subsys_state) which is put by
cgroup_file_release().  The patch forgot to update the release path
for seq_files and each open/release cycle leaks a css reference.

Fix it by updating cgroup_file_release() to also handle seq_files and
using it for seq_file release path too.

e5fca243ab cgroup: use a dedicated workqueue for cgroup destruction
Since be44562613 ("cgroup: remove synchronize_rcu() from
cgroup_diput()"), cgroup destruction path makes use of workqueue.  css
freeing is performed from a work item from that point on and a later
commit, ea15f8ccdb ("cgroup: split cgroup destruction into two
steps"), moves css offlining to workqueue too.

As cgroup destruction isn't depended upon for memory reclaim, the
destruction work items were put on the system_wq; unfortunately, some
controller may block in the destruction path for considerable duration
while holding cgroup_mutex.  As large part of destruction path is
synchronized through cgroup_mutex, when combined with high rate of
cgroup removals, this has potential to fill up system_wq's max_active
of 256.

Also, it turns out that memcg's css destruction path ends up queueing
and waiting for work items on system_wq through work_on_cpu().  If
such operation happens while system_wq is fully occupied by cgroup
destruction work items, work_on_cpu() can't make forward progress
because system_wq is full and other destruction work items on
system_wq can't make forward progress because the work item waiting
for work_on_cpu() is holding cgroup_mutex, leading to deadlock.

This can be fixed by queueing destruction work items on a separate
workqueue.  This patch creates a dedicated workqueue -
cgroup_destroy_wq - for this purpose.  As these work items shouldn't
have inter-dependencies and mostly serialized by cgroup_mutex anyway,
giving high concurrency level doesn't buy anything and the workqueue's
@max_active is set to 1 so that destruction work items are executed
one by one on each CPU.

Hugh Dickins: Because cgroup_init() is run before init_workqueues(),
cgroup_destroy_wq can't be allocated from cgroup_init().  Do it from a
separate core_initcall().  In the future, we probably want to reorder
so that workqueue init happens before cgroup_init().

ea84753c98 cgroup: fix to break the while loop in cgroup_attach_task() correctly
Both Anjana and Eunki reported a stall in the while_each_thread loop
in cgroup_attach_task().

It's because, when we attach a single thread to a cgroup, if the cgroup
is exiting or is already in that cgroup, we won't break the loop.

If the task is already in the cgroup, the bug can lead to another thread
being attached to the cgroup unexpectedly:

  # echo 5207 > tasks
  # cat tasks
  5207
  # echo 5207 > tasks
  # cat tasks
  5207
  5215

What's worse, if the task to be attached isn't the leader of the thread
group, we might never exit the loop, hence cpu stall. Thanks for Oleg's
analysis.

This bug was introduced by commit 081aa458c3
("cgroup: consolidate cgroup_attach_task() and cgroup_attach_proc()")

[ lizf: - fixed the first continue, pointed out by Oleg,
        - rewrote changelog. ]

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

bb78a92f47 cgroup: fix rmdir EBUSY regression in 3.11
On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should
have been removed.  Here's a trivial reproducer:

cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent
rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy

It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves
cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of
destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not
yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list.

Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one
of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed:
those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir.

(I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the
unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.)

tj: Flattened nested ifs a bit and updated comment so that it's
    correct on both for-3.11-fixes and for-3.12.

7941cb027d cgroup: make cgroup_event hold onto cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup
Currently, each registered cgroup_event holds an extra reference to
the cgroup.  This is a bit weird as events are subsystem specific and
will also be incorrect in the planned unified hierarchy as css
(cgroup_subsys_state) may come and go dynamically across the lifetime
of a cgroup.  Holding onto cgroup won't prevent the target css from
going away.

Update cgroup_event to hold onto the css the traget file belongs to
instead of cgroup.

After this patch, css_from_dir() also allows NULL @ss and returns the
matching dummy_css.  This behavior change doesn't affect its only user
- perf.

35cf083619 cgroup: rename cgroup_css_from_dir() to css_from_dir() and update its syntax
cgroup_css_from_dir() will grow another user.  In preparation, make
the following changes.

* All css functions are prefixed with just "css_", rename it to
  css_from_dir().

* Take dentry * instead of file * as dentry is what ultimately
  identifies a cgroup and file may not always be available.  Note that
  the function now checkes whether @dentry->d_inode is NULL as the
  caller now may specify a negative dentry.

* Make it take cgroup_subsys * instead of integer subsys_id.  This
  simplifies the function and allows specifying no subsystem for
  cgroup->dummy_css.

* Make return section a bit less verbose.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

6e6eab0efd cgroup: fix cgroup_write_event_control()
81eeaf0411 ("cgroup: make cftype->[un]register_event() deal with
cgroup_subsys_state inst ead of cgroup") updated the cftype event
methods to take @css (cgroup_subsys_state) instead of @cgroup;
however, it incorrectly used @css passed to
cgroup_write_event_control(), which the dummy_css for the cgroup as
the file is a cgroup core file.  This leads to oops on event
registration.

Fix it by using the css matching the event target file.  Note that
cgroup_write_event_control() now disallows cgroup core files from
being event sources.  This is for simplicity and doesn't matter as
cgroup_event will be moved and made specific to memcg.

0bfb4aa67c cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroup
105347ba5 ("cgroup: make cgroup_file_open() rcu_read_lock() around
cgroup_css() and add cfent->css") added cfent->css to cache the
associted cgroup_subsys_state across file operations.

A cfent is associated with single css throughout its lifetime and the
origimal commit initialized the cache pointer during cgroup_add_file()
and verified that it matches the actual one in cgroup_file_open().
While this works fine for !root cgroups, it's broken for root cgroups
as files in a root cgroup are created before the css's are associated
with the cgroup and thus cgroup_css() call in cgroup_add_file()
returns NULL associating all cfents in the root cgroup with NULL css.
This makes cgroup_file_open() trigger WARN and fail with -ENODEV for
all !core subsystem files in the root cgroups.

There's no reason to initialize cfent->css separately from
cgroup_add_file().  As the association never changes,
cgroup_file_open() can set it unconditionally every time and
containing the logic in cgroup_file_open() makes more sense anyway as
the only reason it's necessary is file->private_data being already
occupied.

Fix it by setting cfent->css unconditionally from cgroup_file_open().

0c21ead136 cgroup: RCU protect each cgroup_subsys_state release
With the planned unified hierarchy, individual css's will be created
and destroyed dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup.  To enable
such usages, css destruction is being decoupled from cgroup
destruction.  Most of the destruction path has been decoupled but the
actual free of css still depends on cgroup free path.

When all css refs are drained, css_release() kicks off
css_free_work_fn() which puts the cgroup.  When the cgroup refcnt
reaches zero, cgroup_diput() is invoked which in turn schedules RCU
free of the cgroup.  After a grace period, all css's are freed along
with the cgroup itself.

This patch moves the RCU grace period and css freeing from cgroup
release path to css release path.  css_release(), instead of kicking
off css_free_work_fn() directly, schedules RCU callback
css_free_rcu_fn() which in turn kicks off css_free_work_fn() after a
RCU grace period.  css_free_work_fn() is updated to free the css
directly.

The five-way punting - percpu ref kill confirmation, a work item,
percpu ref release, RCU grace period, and again a work item - is quite
hairy but the work items are there only to provide process context and
the actual sequence is kill confirm -> release -> RCU free, which
isn't simple but not too crazy.

This removes cgroup_css() usage after offline_css() allowing clearing
cgroup->subsys[] from offline_css(), which makes it consistent with
online_css() and brings it closer to proper lifetime management for
individual css's.

3c14f8b44f cgroup: move subsys file removal to kill_css()
With the planned unified hierarchy, individual css's will be created
and destroyed dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup.  To enable
such usages, css destruction is being decoupled from cgroup
destruction.  This patch moves subsys file removal from
cgroup_destroy_locked() to kill_css().

While this changes the order of destruction operations, the changes
shouldn't be noticeable to cgroup subsystems or userland.

09a503ea3a cgroup: decouple cgroup_subsys_state destruction from cgroup destruction
Currently, css (cgroup_subsys_state) lifetime is tied to that of the
associated cgroup.  css's are created when the associated cgroup is
created and destroyed when it gets destroyed.  Also, individual css's
aren't RCU protected but the whole cgroup is.  With the planned
unified hierarchy, css's will need to be dynamically created and
destroyed within the lifetime of a cgroup.

To enable such usages, this patch decouples css destruction from
cgroup destruction - offline_css() invocation and the final css_put()
are moved from cgroup_destroy_css_killed() to css_killed_work_fn().
Now each css is individually offlined and put as its reference count
is killed instead of waiting for all css's attached to the cgroup to
finish refcnt killing and then proceeding to offlining and putting
them together.

While this changes the order of destruction operations, the changes
shouldn't be noticeable to cgroup subsystems or userland.

f20104de55 cgroup: replace cgroup->css_kill_cnt with ->nr_css
Currently, css (cgroup_subsys_state) lifetime is tied to that of the
associated cgroup.  With the planned unified hierarchy, css's will be
dynamically created and destroyed within the lifetime of a cgroup.  To
enable such usages, css's will be individually RCU protected instead
of being tied to the cgroup.

cgroup->css_kill_cnt is used during cgroup destruction to wait for css
reference count disable; however, this model doesn't work once css's
lifetimes are managed separately from cgroup's.  This patch replaces
it with cgroup->nr_css which is an cgroup_mutex protected integer
counting the number of attached css's.  The count is incremented from
online_css() and decremented after refcnt kill is confirmed.  If the
count reaches zero and the cgroup is marked dead, the second stage of
cgroup destruction is kicked off.  If a cgroup doesn't have any css
attached at the time of rmdir, cgroup_destroy_locked() now invokes the
second stage directly as no css kill confirmation would happen.

cgroup_offline_fn() - the second step of cgroup destruction - is
renamed to cgroup_destroy_css_killed() and now expects to be called
with cgroup_mutex held.

While this patch changes how css destruction is punted to work items,
it shouldn't change any visible behavior.

Currently, css (cgroup_subsys_state) lifetime is tied to that of the
associated cgroup.  With the planned unified hierarchy, css's will be
dynamically created and destroyed within the lifetime of a cgroup.  To
enable such usages, css's will be individually RCU protected instead

In preparation, this patch moves cgroup->subsys[] assignment from
init_css() to online_css().  As this means that a newly initialized
css should be remembered separately and that cgroup_css() returns NULL
between init and online, cgroup_create() is updated so that it stores
newly created css's in a local array css_ar[] and
cgroup_init/load_subsys() are updated to use local variable @css
instead of using cgroup_css().  This change also slightly simplifies
error path of cgroup_create().

While this patch changes when cgroup->subsys[] is initialized, this
change isn't visible to subsystems or userland.

For the planned unified hierarchy, each css (cgroup_subsys_state) will

This patch updates cgroup_file_open() such that it acquires the
associated css under rcu_read_lock().  While cgroup_file_css() usages
in other file operations are safe due to the reference from open,
cgroup_css() wouldn't know that and will still trigger warnings.  It'd
be cleanest to store the acquired css in file->prvidate_data for
further file operations but that's already used by seqfile.  This
patch instead adds cfent->css to cache the associated css.  Note that
while this field is initialized during cfe init, it should only be
considered valid while the file is open.

0ae78e0bf1 cgroup: add cgroup_subsys_state->parent
With the planned unified hierarchy, css's (cgroup_subsys_state) will
be RCU protected and allowed to be attached and detached dynamically
over the course of a cgroup's lifetime.  This means that css's will
stay accessible after being detached from its cgroup - the matching
pointer in cgroup->subsys[] cleared - for ref draining and RCU grace
period.

cgroup core still wants to guarantee that the parent css is never
destroyed before its children and css_parent() always returns the
parent regardless of the state of the child css as long as it's
accessible.

This patch makes css's hold onto their parents and adds css->parent so
that the parent css is never detroyed before its children and can be
determined without consulting the cgroups.

cgroup->dummy_css is also updated to point to the parent dummy_css;
however, it doesn't need to worry about object lifetime as the parent
cgroup is already pinned by the child.

bd8815a6d8 cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iteration
Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin
(root of subtree) css in the iteration.  The reasons were maintaining
consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of
introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway;
however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a
descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and
looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that
including origin would result in simpler code overall.

While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup
API including the iterators has recently gone through major
restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without
adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this
type of change.

The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  If the iteration block
had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the
iteration.  If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added.  Some
conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by
consolidating origin handling and the rest.  While the extra ref
operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any
noticeable difference.

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

* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different

  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

* 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.

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.

67f4c36f83 cgroup: add cgroup->dummy_css
cgroup subsystem API is being converted to use css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the main handle, which makes things a bit
awkward for subsystem agnostic core features - the "cgroup.*"
interface files and various iterations - a bit awkward as they don't
have a css to use.

This patch adds cgroup->dummy_css which has NULL ->ss and whose only
role is pointing back to the cgroup.  This will be used to support
subsystem agnostic features on the coming css based API.

css_parent() is updated to handle dummy_css's.  Note that css will
soon grow its own ->parent field and css_parent() will be made
trivial.

f7d58818ba cgroup: pin cgroup_subsys_state when opening a cgroupfs file
Previously, each file read/write operation relied on the inode
reference count pinning the cgroup and simply checked whether the
cgroup was marked dead before proceeding to invoke the per-subsystem
callback.  This was rather silly as it didn't have any synchronization
or css pinning around the check and the cgroup may be removed and all
css refs drained between the DEAD check and actual method invocation.

This patch pins the css between open() and release() so that it is
guaranteed to be alive for all file operations and remove the silly
DEAD checks from cgroup_file_read/write().
