[PATCH] cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasks

[Michal Hocko]

2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state
transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple
frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks
because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING
state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches
CGROUP_FROZEN.

Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations
(update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider
stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when
testing frozen tasks.

Testcase:
mkdir /dev/freezer
mount -t cgroup -o freezer none /dev/freezer
mkdir /dev/freezer/foo
sleep 1h &
pid=$!
kill -STOP $pid
echo $pid > /dev/freezer/foo/tasks
echo FROZEN > /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
while true
do
        cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
        [ "`cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state`" = "FROZEN" ] && break
        sleep 1
done
echo OK

Re: [PATCH] cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasks

[Tomasz Buchert]

Hi,
I'm trying to understand now why I did that change in

2d3cbf8bc (the bug itself was in the if-the-else clause in 
update_if_frozen , anyway).
Well, when I look at this now I think that there is nothing wrong with 
your patch.
You can try my testcases from 2d3cbf8bc and 0bdba580, but it should be ok.


One thing I am not sure completely of is the following situation. So the 
group is frozen
with the STOPPED task inside. There are few questions:
* if you send SIGCONT to the task now, will it wake up?
* if yes - will it get *immediately* frozen?
I im going to check it myself, but maybe you can answer faster :).

Yes, I have tried it before sending the patch.

No, it will enter refrigerator and wake up on thawing the group. Check
out `goto relock' after do_signal_stop returns.

I've checked your patch empirically few hours before :).
Also I've read get_signal_to_deliver() and you are right - it's gonna be 
fine.
The decision is not mine, of course, but I suggest to merge it.
Good work!

Re: [PATCH] cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasks

[Michal Hocko]

Hi Tejun, Li Zefan,
did you have time to look at this patch? I haven't found any
cgroup_freezer maintainer so I guess it should go via generic cgroups
maintainers, right?

Anyway, this is probably not the number one urgent fix as it is broken
since .37 and nobody complained (perhaps people do not tend to freeze
groups with stopped tasks) but LTP does fail on this issue so more
people doing some QA with post .37 kernels will notice.

Hmmm... w/ pending freezer updates, the above would always return
%true if there's freezing in progress, which can't be right.  Maybe
just test stopped/traced?

Only if the task is stopped/trace.

If we try to freeze a stopped task, it will be kept in freezing state.

This can trigger a BUG_ON in update_if_frozen(), because we always count a
stopped task as frozen.

You're right, missed parantheses.

So, yeah, the patch looks good to me, but it still isn't difficult to
trigger BUG_ON() there.  We need a lot of fixes in cgroup_freezer.

I am not sure which BUG_ON you have in mind.
update_if_frozen:
	BUG_ON(nfrozen != ntotal);

Should be OK because this patch does:

Subject: [PATCH] cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasks

2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state
transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple
frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks
because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING
state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches
CGROUP_FROZEN.

Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations
(update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider
stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when
testing frozen tasks.

Testcase:
mkdir /dev/freezer
mount -t cgroup -o freezer none /dev/freezer
mkdir /dev/freezer/foo
sleep 1h &
pid=$!
kill -STOP $pid
echo $pid > /dev/freezer/foo/tasks
echo FROZEN > /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
while true
do
        cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
        [ "`cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state`" = "FROZEN" ] && break
        sleep 1
done
echo OK
