[PATCH v8 0/4] cgroups: add pids subsystem

[Aleksa Sarai]

This is an alternate version of the pids v7 patchset[1]. The main
difference is that this version doesn't add a new callback for
an association change during a fork -- it lets subsystems handle such
cases by themselves by allowing for a private pointer to be passed
around between the callbacks.

* Pass a cgroup_fork_state structure between the
  cgroup_{can,cancel,post}_fork hooks which stores the private opaque
  pointer for each subsystem. This allows for subsystems to decide which
  (if any) state to save in the can_fork callback to refer back to in
  the post_fork callback.

[PATCH v8 1/4] cgroups: use bitmask to filter for_each_subsys

[Aleksa Sarai]

Add a new macro for_each_subsys_which that allows all enabled cgroup
subsystems to be filtered by a bitmask, such that mask & (1 << ssid)
determines if the subsystem is to be processed in the loop body (where
ssid is the unique id of the subsystem).

Also replace the need_forkexit_callback with two separate bitmasks for
each callback to make (ss->{fork,exit}) checks unnecessary.

[PATCH v8 2/4] cgroups: replace explicit ss_mask checking with for_each_subsys_which

[Aleksa Sarai]

Replace the explicit checking against ss_masks inside a for_each_subsys
block with for_each_subsys_which(ss_mask, ...), to take advantage of the
more readable macro.

[PATCH v8 3/4] cgroups: allow a cgroup subsystem to reject a fork

[Aleksa Sarai]

Add a new cgroup subsystem callback can_fork that conditionally
states whether or not the fork is accepted or rejected by a cgroup
policy. In addition, add a cancel_fork callback so that if an error
occurs later in the forking process, any state modified by can_fork can
be reverted.

Allow for a private opaque pointer to be passed from the cgroup_can_fork
to cgroup_post_fork, allowing for the fork state to be stored by each
subsystem separately.

In order for a subsystem to know that a task associated with a cgroup
hierarchy is being migrated to another hierarchy, add a detach callback
to the subsystem which is run after the migration has been confirmed but
before the old_cset's refcount is dropped. This is necessary in order
for a subsystem to be able to keep a proper count of how many tasks are
associated with that subsystem.

This is in preparation for implementing the pids cgroup subsystem.

Can we collect the subsystems which require pre/post fork callbacks to
the front in group_subsys.h and do do CGROUP_SUBSYS_FORK_COUNT (or
whatever) instead?  Then, we don't need all these subsys bitmasks
either we can just test the index against that and be done with it.

Just make it a void * array and put it on stack.  Abstraction at this
level doesn't serve any purpose.  No controller code is gonna see this
anyway.

cancel_fork() has no reason to update the opaque pointer.  No reason
to pass pointer of it.

I don't think we do %var, do we?  % is used for macros and consts.

Ditto, just pass the pointer itself.

Again, if you just passed the pointer, you wouldn't need the above.
Just clear the array on init and pass in whatever value is in there.

I tried doing this and the kernel would refuse to boot. I believe it has
something to do with the ordering of early_init subsystems, but I'm not
entirely sure (this optimisation can be dealt with later [it's non-critical],
so IMO this should be done in a separate patchset [if at all]). Also, your
later comments would fix the subsys bitmask problem (we can just pass the
default %NULL), we don't even need to test the index.

Hmmm... yeah, failure in early_init can be tricky to debug.

But we'd be adding quite a few loops in relatively hot paths.  I don't
think it's a good idea to send the patches as-are because we can't
debug and fix them properly, right?  If there are hard ordering
dependencies, the range of subsystems which require fork/exit doesn't
have to be at the beginning.

Thanks.

Okay, I took another look and it isn't that there are hard ordering
dependencies, it's because of how I wrote the tagging macro for cgroup_subsys.h
that caused a NULL deref during the early_init. Whoops.

In what way are they hard to debug?

I just spent a few hours trying to write it and it's just too dodgy to live.
Either you have a solution that won't work with nested tags, and is generally
just kind of bad or you have a solution that requires you to keep two separate
enumerations in sync. And of course you need to offset the index you're looking
stuff up in ss_state so that also looks bad.

But that's all besides the point because, *even if* it I had a clean solution,
it still wouldn't solve the fact that we are
> [...] adding quite a few loops in relatively hot paths.
You kind of _need_ to loop over all the subsystems in either case, the only
difference between having an array of CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT pointers or
CGROUP_PREFORK_COUNT is the few bytes of memory you've "saved" (at the expense
of making the callback code essentially unreadable).

Some failures can happen before console init and figuring out what's
going on can be tricky.

Hmmm?  Just define a marker macro so that the index can be extracted
and loop over the indices and call the callbacks?  Why would this be
any more complex than anything else?

[PATCH v8 4/4] cgroups: implement the PIDs subsystem

[Aleksa Sarai]

Adds a new single-purpose PIDs subsystem to limit the number of
tasks that can be forked inside a cgroup. Essentially this is an
implementation of RLIMIT_NPROC that applies to a cgroup rather than a
process tree.

However, it should be noted that organisational operations (adding and
removing tasks from a PIDs hierarchy) will *not* be prevented. Rather,
the number of tasks in the hierarchy cannot exceed the limit through
forking. This is due to the fact that, in the unified hierarchy, attach
cannot fail (and it is not possible for a task to overcome its PIDs
cgroup policy limit by attaching to a child cgroup).

PIDs are fundamentally a global resource, and it is possible to reach
PID exhaustion inside a cgroup without hitting any reasonable kmemcg
policy. Once you've hit PID exhaustion, you're only in a marginally
better state than OOM. This subsystem allows PID exhaustion inside a
cgroup to be prevented.
