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.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"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
devel mask in one or two devel cycles at least for a subset of
controllers.
- 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
node goes down.
All the changes are to the new interface and no behavior changed for
the multiple hierarchies"

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.

internal by prefixing them with double underscores.
CFTYPE_INSANE is renamed to __CFTYPE_NOT_ON_DFL for consistency. The

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.

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

Currently cgroup_base_files[] contains the cgroup core interface files

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

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.

sane_behavior has been used as a development vehicle for the default

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.

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.

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.

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

cgroup is implementing support for subsystem dependency which would

Previously, cgroup->child_subsys_mask directly reflected
"cgroup.subtree_control" and the enabled subsystems in the child

"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.

Run two instances of this script concurrently:

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.

because cgroup_root may have no superblock assosiated with it.

Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.
* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
going through re-allocation.
* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
count with static percpu variables.
* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
percpu_ref_cancel_init().
This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit(). percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().
All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

The default root is allocated and initialized at boot phase, so we
shouldn't destroy the default root when it's umounted, otherwise
it will lead to disaster.
Just try mount and then umount the default root, and the kernel will
crash immediately.
v2:
- No need to check for CSS_NO_REF in cgroup_get/put(). (Tejun)
- Better call cgroup_put() for the default root in kill_sb(). (Tejun)
- Add a comment.

There is still one residue of sysfs remaining: the sb_magic
SYSFS_MAGIC. However this should be kernfs user specific,
so this patch moves it out. Kerrnfs user should specify their
magic number while mouting.

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.

Now that cgroup liveliness and css onliness are the same state,
convert cgroup_has_live_children() into css_has_online_children() so
that it can be used for actual csses too. The function now uses
css_for_each_child() for iteration and is published.

Use CSS_ONLINE on the self css to indicate whether a cgroup has been
killed instead of CGRP_DEAD. This will allow re-using css online test
for cgroup liveliness test. This doesn't introduce any functional

Currently, css_next_child() is implemented as finding the next child
cgroup which has the css enabled, which used to be the only way to do
it as only cgroups participated in sibling lists and thus could be
iteratd. This works as long as what's required during iteration is
not missing online csses; however, it turns out that there are use
cases where offlined but not yet released csses need to be iterated.
This is difficult to implement through cgroup iteration the unified
hierarchy as there may be multiple dying csses for the same subsystem
associated with single cgroup.
After the recent changes, the cgroup self and regular csses behave
identically in how they're linked and unlinked from the sibling lists
including assertion of CSS_RELEASED and css_next_child() can simply
switch to iterating csses directly. This both simplifies the logic
and ensures that all visible non-released csses are included in the
iteration whether there are multiple dying csses for a subsystem or
not.
As all other iterators depend on css_next_child() for sibling
iteration, this changes behaviors of all css iterators. Add and
update explanations on the css states which are included in traversal
to all iterators.
As css iteration could always contain offlined csses, this shouldn't
break any of the current users and new usages which need iteration of
all on and offline csses can make use of the new semantics.

css iterations allow the caller to drop RCU read lock. As long as the
caller keeps the current position accessible, it can simply re-grab
RCU read lock later and continue iteration. This is achieved by using
CGRP_DEAD to detect whether the current positions next pointer is safe
to dereference and if not re-iterate from the beginning to the next
position using ->serial_nr.
CGRP_DEAD is used as the marker to invalidate the next pointer and the
only requirement is that the marker is set before the next sibling
starts its RCU grace period. Because CGRP_DEAD is set at the end of
cgroup_destroy_locked() but the cgroup is unlinked when the reference
count reaches zero, we currently have a rather large window where this
fallback re-iteration logic can be triggered.
This patch introduces CSS_RELEASED which is set when a css is unlinked
from its sibling list. This still keeps the re-iteration logic
working while drastically reducing the window of its activation.
While at it, rewrite the comment in css_next_child() to reflect the
new flag and better explain the synchronization.
This will also enable iterating csses directly instead of through
cgroups.
v2: CSS_RELEASED now assigned to 1 << 2 as 1 << 0 is used by
CSS_NO_REF.

We're moving towards using cgroup_subsys_states as the fundamental
structural blocks. All csses including the cgroup->self and actual
ones now form trees through css->children and ->sibling which follow
the same rules as what cgroup->children and ->sibling followed. This
patch moves cgroup->serial_nr which is used to implement css iteration
into css.
Note that all csses, regardless of their types, allocate their serial
numbers from the same monotonically increasing counter. This doesn't
affect the ordering needed by css iteration or cause any other
material behavior changes. This will be used to update css iteration.

cgroup in general is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the
fundamental structural component and css_parent() was introduced to
convert from using cgroup->parent to css->parent. It was quite some
time ago and we're moving forward with making css more prominent.
This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users
dereference css->parent. While at it, explicitly mark fields of css
which are public and immutable.

9395a45004 ("cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses") enabled
reference counting for root csses (cgroup_subsys_states) so that
cgroup's self csses can be used to manage the lifetime of the
containing cgroups.
Unfortunately, this change was incorrect. During early init,
cgrp_dfl_root self css refcnt is used. percpu_ref can't initialized
during early init and its initialization is deferred till
cgroup_init() time. This means that cpu was using percpu_ref which
wasn't properly initialized. Due to the way percpu variables are laid
out on x86, this didn't blow up immediately on x86 but ended up
incrementing and decrementing the percpu variable at offset zero,
whatever it may be; however, on other archs, this caused fault and
early boot failure.
As cgroup self csses for root cgroups of non-dfl hierarchies need
working refcounting, we can't revert 9395a45004. This patch adds
CSS_NO_REF which explicitly inhibits reference counting on the css and
sets it on all normal (non-self) csses and cgroup_dfl_root self css.
v2: cgrp_dfl_root.self is the offending one. Set the flag on it.

Fixes: 9395a45004 ("cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses")
Currently cgroup implements refcnting separately using atomic_t
cgroup->refcnt. The destruction paths of cgroup and css are rather
complex and bear a lot of similiarities including the use of RCU and
bouncing to a work item.
This patch makes cgroup use the refcnt of self css for refcnting
instead of using its own. This makes cgroup refcnting use css's
percpu refcnt and share the destruction mechanism.
* css_release_work_fn() and css_free_work_fn() are updated to handle
both csses and cgroups. This is a bit messy but should do until we
can make cgroup->self a full css, which currently can't be done
thanks to multiple hierarchies.
* cgroup_destroy_locked() now performs
percpu_ref_kill(&cgrp->self.refcnt) instead of cgroup_put(cgrp).
* Negative refcnt sanity check in cgroup_get() is no longer necessary
as percpu_ref already handles it.
* Similarly, as a cgroup which hasn't been killed will never be
released regardless of its refcnt value and percpu_ref has sanity
check on kill, cgroup_is_dead() sanity check in cgroup_put() is no
longer necessary.
* As whether a refcnt reached zero or not can only be decided after
the reference count is killed, cgroup_root->cgrp's refcnting can no
longer be used to decide whether to kill the root or not. Let's
make cgroup_kill_sb() explicitly initiate destruction if the root
doesn't have any children. This makes sense anyway as unmounted
cgroup hierarchy without any children should be destroyed.
While this is a bit messy, this will allow pushing more bookkeeping
towards cgroup->self and thus handling cgroups and csses in more
uniform way. In the very long term, it should be possible to
introduce a base subsystem and convert the self css to a proper one
making things whole lot simpler and unified.

Currently, css_get(), css_tryget() and css_tryget_online() are noops
for root csses as an optimization; however, we're planning to use css
refcnts to track of cgroup lifetime too and root cgroups also need to
be reference counted. Since css has been converted to percpu_refcnt,
the overhead of refcnting is miniscule and this optimization isn't too
meaningful anymore. Furthermore, controllers which optimize the root
cgroup often never even invoke these functions in their hot paths.
This patch enables refcnting for root csses too. This makes CSS_ROOT
flag unused and removes it.

Move cgroup->sibling unlinking from cgroup_destroy_css_killed() to
cgroup_put(). This is later but still before the RCU grace period, so
it doesn't break css_next_child() although there now is a larger
window in which a dead cgroup is visible during css iteration. As css
iteration always could have included offline csses, this doesn't
affect correctness; however, it does make css_next_child() fall back
to reiterting mode more often. This also makes cgroup_put() directly
take cgroup_mutex, which limits where it can be called from. These
are not immediately problematic and will be dealt with later.
This change enables simplification of cgroup destruction path.

Currently, check_for_release() on the parent of a destroyed cgroup is
invoked from cgroup_destroy_css_killed(). This is because this is
where the destroyed cgroup can be removed from the parent's children
list. check_for_release() tests the emptiness of the list directly,
so invoking it before removing the cgroup from the list makes it think
that the parent still has children even when it no longer does.
This patch updates check_for_release() to use
cgroup_has_live_children() instead of directly testing ->children
emptiness and moves check_for_release(parent) earlier to the end of
cgroup_destroy_locked(). As cgroup_has_live_children() ignores
cgroups marked DEAD, check_for_release() functions correctly as long
as it's called after asserting DEAD.
This makes release notification slightly more timely and more
importantly enables further simplification of cgroup destruction path.

cgroup_mount() uses dumb delay-and-retry logic to wait for cgroup_root
which is being destroyed. The retry currently loops inside
cgroup_mount() proper. This patch makes it return with
restart_syscall() instead so that retry travels out to userland
boundary.
This slightly simplifies the logic and more importantly makes the
retry logic behave better when the wait for some reason becomes
lengthy or infinite by allowing the operation to be suspended or
terminated from userland.

cgroup_tree_mutex was introduced to work around the circular
dependency between cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection - some
kernfs file and directory operations needed cgroup_mutex putting
cgroup_mutex under active protection but cgroup also needs to be able
to access cgroup hierarchies and cftypes to determine which
kernfs_nodes need to be removed. cgroup_tree_mutex nested above both
cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection and used to protect the
hierarchy and cftypes. While this worked, it added a lot of double
lockings and was generally cumbersome.
kernfs provides a mechanism to opt out of active protection and cgroup
was already using it for removal and subtree_control. There's no
reason to mix both methods of avoiding circular locking dependency and
the preceding cgroup_kn_lock_live() changes applied it to all relevant
cgroup kernfs operations making it unnecessary to nest cgroup_mutex
under kernfs active protection. The previous patch reversed the
original lock ordering and put cgroup_mutex above kernfs active
protection.
After these changes, all cgroup_tree_mutex usages are now accompanied
by cgroup_mutex making the former completely redundant. This patch
removes cgroup_tree_mutex and all its usages.
