[PATCHSET cgroup/for-3.14] cgroup: consolidate file handling

[PATCHSET cgroup/for-3.14] cgroup: consolidate file handling

[Tejun Heo]

Hello,

cgroup is scheduled to be converted to use kernfs, which is currently
in the process of being separated out of sysfs, so that, among other
things, cgroup core locking can be decoupled from vfs layer.  This
patchset cleans up and conslidates cgroup file handling to facilitate
such conversion.

There currently are a couple different rw paths including the ones
which don't impose any structure.  All existing users and expected
reasonable use cases can be served with standard seq_file interface
and buffered writes, which is what's provided by kernfs.

This patchset updates cgroup file handling so that the interface and
usages are more concise and there is single path for read and single
path for write, both of which closely map to the interface kernfs
provides.

This series ends up adding some amount of code which will be replaced
by kernfs but, overall, things get more streamlined and LOC is
reduced.

The following 12 patches are included in the series.

 0001-cgroup-sched-convert-away-from-cftype-read_map.patch
 0002-cpuset-convert-away-from-cftype-read.patch
 0003-memcg-convert-away-from-cftype-read-and-read_map.patch
 0004-netprio_cgroup-convert-away-from-cftype-read_map.patch
 0005-hugetlb_cgroup-convert-away-from-cftype-read.patch
 0006-cgroup-remove-cftype-read-read_map-and-write.patch
 0007-cgroup-unify-cgroup_write_X64-and-cgroup_write_strin.patch
 0008-cgroup-unify-read-path-so-that-seq_file-is-always-us.patch
 0009-cgroup-generalize-cgroup_pidlist_open_file.patch
 0010-cgroup-attach-cgroup_open_file-to-all-cgroup-files.patch
 0011-cgroup-replace-cftype-read_seq_string-with-cftype-se.patch
 0012-cgroup-unify-pidlist-and-other-file-handling.patch

While this series touches a lot of controllers, all updates to the
controllers are mostly mechnical.  I think it'd be best if the series
can be routed through cgroup/for-3.14 branch.

This patchset is on top of

  cgroup/for-3.14 c729b11edf74 ("cgroup: Merge branch 'for-3.13-fixes' into for-3.14")

[PATCH 01/12] cgroup, sched: convert away from cftype->read_map()

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

cftype->read_map() doesn't add any value and being replaced with
->read_seq_string().  Update cpu_stats_show() and cpuacct_stats_show()
accordingly.

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes.

[PATCH 02/12] cpuset: convert away from cftype->read()

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

All users of cftype->read() can be easily served, usually better, by
seq_file and other methods.  Rename cpuset_common_file_read() to
cpuset_common_read_seq_string() and convert it to use
read_seq_string() interface instead.  This not only simplifies the
code but also makes it more versatile.  Before, the file couldn't
output if the result is longer than PAGE_SIZE.  After the conversion,
seq_file automatically grows the buffer until the output can fit.

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes except for being
able to handle output larger than PAGE_SIZE.

[PATCH 03/12] memcg: convert away from cftype->read() and ->read_map()

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

cftype->read_map() doesn't add any value and being replaced with
->read_seq_string(), and all users of cftype->read() can be easily
served, usually better, by seq_file and other methods.

Update mem_cgroup_read() to return u64 instead of printing itself and
rename it to mem_cgroup_read_u64(), and update
mem_cgroup_oom_control_read() to use ->read_seq_string() instead of
->read_map().

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes.

[PATCH 04/12] netprio_cgroup: convert away from cftype->read_map()

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

cftype->read_map() doesn't add any value and being replaced with
->read_seq_string().  Update read_priomap() to use ->read_seq_string()
instead.

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes.

[PATCH 05/12] hugetlb_cgroup: convert away from cftype->read()

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

All users of cftype->read() can be easily served, usually better, by
seq_file and other methods.  Update hugetlb_cgroup_read() to return
u64 instead of printing itself and rename it to
hugetlb_cgroup_read_u64().

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes.

[PATCH 06/12] cgroup: remove cftype->read(), ->read_map() and ->write()

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is being
consolidated so that it can be easily mapped to the seq_file based
interface of kernfs.

After recent updates, ->read() and ->read_map() don't have any user
left and ->write() never had any user.  Remove them.

[PATCH 07/12] cgroup: unify cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string()

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string() both implement about the
same buffering logic.  Unify the two into cgroup_file_write() which
always allocates dynamic buffer for simplicity and uses kstrto*()
instead of simple_strto*().

This patch doesn't make any visible behavior changes except for
possibly different error value from kstrsto*().

It's true that this is simpler but the allocation might cause some
issues with memcg. Although it is not common that userspace oom handler
is a part of the target memcg there are users (e.g. Google) who do that.

Why is that a problem? Consider that a memcg is under OOM, handler gets
notified and tries to solve the situation by enlarging the hard limit.
This worked before this patch because cgroup_write_X64 used an on stack
buffer but now it would use kmalloc which might be accounted and trip
over the same OOM situation.

This is not limited to the OOM handling. The group might be close to OOM
and the last thing user expects is to trigger OOM when he tries to
enlarge the limit.

Is the additional simplicity worth breaking those usecases?

Whoa, so we support oom handler inside the memcg that it handles?
Does that work reliably?  Changing the above detail in this patch
isn't difficult (and we'll later need to update kernfs too) but
supporting such setup properly would be a *lot* of commitment and I'm
very doubtful we'd be able to achieve that by just carefully avoiding
memory allocation in the operations that usreland oom handler uses -
that set is destined to expand over time, extremely fragile and will
be hellish to maintain.

So, I'm not at all excited about commiting to this guarantee.  This
one is an easy one but it looks like the first step onto dizzying
slippery slope.

Am I misunderstanding something here?  Are you and Johannes firm on
supporting this?

Thanks.

Well, I am not happy about the use case as well and I will always
discourage people from doing this. I was merely pointing out that the
patch will break those even though it seems trivial to not do so. That
being said I would rather see no allocation in that path but if that
doesn't seem viable to you then I will not loose any sleep over it.

So, is it something already working reliably?  I really don't like the
implications of heading this way.  Does it also mean cgroup won't be
able to use seq_file for read paths either?

We're talking about a *lot* of extra restrictions and shackles if we
go down this path and many of them would be extremely subtle and
fragile.  If this is an one-off thing to keep the existing users
happy, I'm okay with it and will update this patch and kernfs so that
writes under certain size use on-stack buffer, but I *DO* want an
assurance that memcg isn't gonna march that way, which is likely to
bring down the rest of cgroup in the process.

Well, either that or please convince me it's something sane to
support, but you don't sound too sure either, so....

Thanks.

One has to try hard but I guess this is doable. At least as simple
things as try to enlarge the limit approach should be easy to do.

I really do not want to add more hacks just to make this use case work.
There are some proposals for more systematic implementation (memory
reserves for oom killer etc.) but that won't interfere with the cgroup
core.
This one just looks trivial so I was thinking whether we can keep the
!allocating write as before. It is nothing I would insist on, though. So
I will leave the decision on you.

So, I'm just gonna commit the patches as-is because I can't really see
how this is anything which can work in any reasonable way.  As it
currently stands, the userland wouldn't even be able to read any knob.
Wouldn't it at least need to do that?  Actually, the answer to that
question doesn't even matter because "no" would mean that the OOM
notification, however it's done, can't depend on the userland being
able to read *any* knob, which in turn is likely to constrain and
distort the notification mechanism itself.  These things are all
connected and this type of bad decisions propagates through the whole
stack.

In case this *really* is necessary, let's please do it in a separate
patch with rationale and detailed explanation of actual usage.

Thanks.

Handling a memcg OOM from userspace running inside that OOM memcg is
completely crazy.  I mean, think about this for just two seconds...
Really?

I get that people are doing it right now, and if you can get away with
it for now, good for you.  But you have to be aware how crazy this is
and if it breaks you get to keep the pieces and we are not going to
accomodate this in the kernel.  Fix your crazy userspace.

[PATCH 08/12] cgroup: unify read path so that seq_file is always used

[Tejun Heo]

With the recent removal of cftype->read() and ->read_map(), only three
operations are remaining, ->read_u64(), ->read_s64() and
->read_seq_string().  Currently, the first two are handled directly
while the last is handled through seq_file.

It is trivial to serve the first two through the seq_file path too.
This patch restructures read path so that all operations are served
through cgroup_seqfile_show().  This makes all cgroup files seq_file -
single_open/release() are now used by default,
cgroup_seqfile_operations is dropped, and cgroup_file_operations uses
seq_read() for read.

This simplifies the code and makes the read path easy to convert to
use kernfs.

Note that, while cgroup_file_operations uses seq_read() for read, it
still uses generic_file_llseek() for seeking instead of seq_lseek().
This is different from cgroup_seqfile_operations but shouldn't break
anything and brings the seeking behavior aligned with kernfs.

[PATCH 09/12] cgroup: generalize cgroup_pidlist_open_file

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs.  This patch renames
cgroup_pidlist_open_file to cgroup_open_file and updates it so that it
only contains a field to identify the specific file, ->cfe, and an
opaque ->priv pointer.  When cgroup is converted to kernfs, this will
be replaced by kernfs_open_file which contains about the same
information.

As whether the file is "cgroup.procs" or "tasks" should now be
determined from cgroup_open_file->cfe, the cftype->private for the two
files now carry the file type and cgroup_pidlist_start() reads the
type through cfe->type->private.  This makes the distinction between
cgroup_tasks_open() and cgroup_procs_open() unnecessary.
cgroup_pidlist_open() is now directly used as the open method.

This patch doesn't make any behavior changes.

[PATCH 10/12] cgroup: attach cgroup_open_file to all cgroup files

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs.  This patch
attaches cgroup_open_file, which used to be attached to pidlist files,
to all cgroup files, introduces seq_css/cft() accessors to determine
the cgroup_subsys_state and cftype associated with a given cgroup
seq_file, exports them as public interface.

This doesn't cause any behavior changes but unifies cgroup file
handling across different file types and will help converting them to
kernfs seq_show() interface.

This is wrong.

I guess you wanted to use single_open_private(), which doesn't exist.

Yeah, right, I got completely confused about what single_open_size()
was doing.  Hah, so, I guess I'll just introduce the single callbacks
here using seq_open_private().  More on this in the next patch.

Thanks.

[PATCH v2 10/12] cgroup: attach cgroup_open_file to all cgroup files

[Tejun Heo]

From dfc10ab0fd9a14efe6c279989b3e65a52b03ca40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tejun Heo <tj-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2013 10:06:18 -0500

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs.  This patch
attaches cgroup_open_file, which used to be attached to pidlist files,
to all cgroup files, introduces seq_css/cft() accessors to determine
the cgroup_subsys_state and cftype associated with a given cgroup
seq_file, exports them as public interface.

This doesn't cause any behavior changes but unifies cgroup file
handling across different file types and will help converting them to
kernfs seq_show() interface.

v2: Li pointed out that the original patch was using
    single_open_size() incorrectly assuming that the size param is
    private data size.  Fix it by allocating @of separately and
    passing it to single_open() and explicitly freeing it in the
    release path.  This isn't the prettiest but this path is gonna be
    restructured by the following patches pretty soon.

1.8.4.2

[PATCH 11/12] cgroup: replace cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show()

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs.  This patch
replaces cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show() which is
not limited to single_open() operation and will map directcly to
kernfs seq_file interface.

The conversions are mechanical.  As ->seq_show() doesn't have @css and
@cft, the functions which make use of them are converted to use
seq_css() and seq_cft() respectively.  In several occassions, e.f. if
it has seq_string in its name, the function name is updated to fit the
new method better.

This patch does not introduce any behavior changes.

[PATCH 12/12] cgroup: unify pidlist and other file handling

[Tejun Heo]

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs.  With the previous
changes, the difference between pidlist and other files are very
small.  Both are served by seq_file in a pretty standard way with the
only difference being !pidlist files use single_open().

This patch adds cftype->seq_start(), ->seq_next and ->seq_stop() and
implements the matching cgroup_seqfile_start/next/stop() which either
emulates single_open() behavior or invokes cftype->seq_*() operations
if specified.  This allows using single seq_operations for both
pidlist and other files and makes cgroup_pidlist_operations and
cgorup_pidlist_open() no longer necessary.  As cgroup_pidlist_open()
was the only user of cftype->open(), the method is dropped together.

This brings cftype file interface very close to kernfs interface and
mapping shouldn't be too difficult.  Once converted to kernfs, most of
the plumbing code including cgroup_seqfile_*() will be removed as
kernfs provides those facilities.

This patch does not introduce any behavior changes.

Isn't it simpler to choose between seq_open() and single_open() depending
on if cft->seq_start is implemented?

This is primarily to duplicate and match kernfs implementation and
will be removed when cgroup transitions to kernfs.  As for whether
kernfs could have used different open paths.  Maybe.  I don't think
either way is particularly better tho especially given that
seq_open*() and single_open*() interfaces don't match each other.  It
gets confusing pretty fast once you start mixing the two variants.

Thanks.

[PATCH v3 12/12] cgroup: unify pidlist and other file handling

[Tejun Heo]

From 319da8b44d61ab3452caccc46a0944755e617cbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tejun Heo <tj-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is
updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs.  With the previous
changes, the difference between pidlist and other files are very
small.  Both are served by seq_file in a pretty standard way with the
only difference being !pidlist files use single_open().

This patch adds cftype->seq_start(), ->seq_next and ->seq_stop() and
implements the matching cgroup_seqfile_start/next/stop() which either
emulates single_open() behavior or invokes cftype->seq_*() operations
if specified.  This allows using single seq_operations for both
pidlist and other files and makes cgroup_pidlist_operations and
cgorup_pidlist_open() no longer necessary.  As cgroup_pidlist_open()
was the only user of cftype->open(), the method is dropped together.

This brings cftype file interface very close to kernfs interface and
mapping shouldn't be too difficult.  Once converted to kernfs, most of
the plumbing code including cgroup_seqfile_*() will be removed as
kernfs provides those facilities.

This patch does not introduce any behavior changes.

v2: Refreshed on top of the updated "cgroup: introduce struct
    cgroup_pidlist_open_file".

v3: Refreshed on top of the updated "cgroup: attach cgroup_open_file
    to all cgroup files".
