[PATCH 1/8] cgroup: warn if "xattr" is specified with "sane_behavior"

[PATCH 1/8] cgroup: warn if "xattr" is specified with "sane_behavior"

[Tejun Heo]

Mount option "xattr" is no longer necessary as it's enabled by default
on kernfs.  Warn if "xattr" is specified with "sane_behavior" so that
the option can be removed in the future.

[PATCH 2/8] cgroup: relocate cgroup_rm_cftypes()

[Tejun Heo]

cftype handling is about to be revamped.  Relocate cgroup_rm_cftypes()
above cgroup_add_cftypes() in preparation.  This is pure relocation.

[PATCH 3/8] cgroup: remove cftype_set

[Tejun Heo]

cftype_set was added primarily to allow registering the same cftype
array more than once for different subsystems.  Nobody uses or needs
such thing and it's already broken because each cftype has ->ss
pointer which is initialized during registration.

Let's add list_head ->node to cftype and use the first cftype entry in
the array to link them instead of allocating separate cftype_set.
While at it, trigger WARN if cft seems previously initialized during
registration.

This simplifies cftype handling a bit.

[PATCH 4/8] cgroup: simplify dynamic cftype addition and removal

[Tejun Heo]

Dynamic cftype addition and removal using cgroup_add/rm_cftypes()
respectively has been quite hairy due to vfs i_mutex.  As i_mutex
nests outside cgroup_mutex, cgroup_mutex has to be released and
regrabbed on each iteration through the hierarchy complicating the
process.  Now that i_mutex is no longer in play, it can be simplified.

* Just holding cgroup_tree_mutex is enough.  No need to meddle with
  cgroup_mutex.

* No reason to play the unlock - relock - check serial_nr dancing.
  Everything can be atomically while holding cgroup_tree_mutex.

* cgroup_cfts_prepare() is replaced with direct locking of
  cgroup_tree_mutex.

* cgroup_cfts_commit() no longer fiddles with locking.  It just
  applies the cftypes change to the existing cgroups in the hierarchy.
  Renamed to cgroup_cfts_apply().

[PATCH 5/8] cgroup: make cgroup hold onto its kernfs_node

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup currently releases its kernfs_node when it gets removed.  While
not buggy, this makes cgroup->kn access rules complicated than
necessary and leads to things like get/put protection around
kernfs_remove() in cgroup_destroy_locked().  In addition, we want to
use kernfs_name/path() and friends but also want to be able to
determine a cgroup's name between removal and release.

This patch makes cgroup hold onto its kernfs_node until freed so that
cgroup->kn is always accessible.

[PATCH 6/8] cgroup: remove cgroup->name

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection.  Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends.  Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.

* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
  of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
  pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.

* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().

* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics.  Users
  which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
  to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
  quite a bit.  As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
  around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
  removed.

v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal.

[PATCH 7/8] cgroup: rename cgroupfs_root->number_of_cgroups to ->nr_cgrps and make it atomic_t

[Tejun Heo]

root->number_of_cgroups is currently an integer protected with
cgroup_mutex.  Except for sanity checks and proc reporting, the only
place it's used is to check whether the root has any child during
remount; however, this is a bit flawed as the counter is not
decremented when the cgroup is unlinked but when it's released,
meaning that there could be an extended period where all cgroups are
removed but remount is still not allowed because some internal objects
are lingering.  While not perfect either, it'd be better to use
emptiness test on root->top_cgroup.children.

This patch updates cgroup_remount() to test top_cgroup's children
instead, which makes number_of_cgroups only actual usage statistics
printing in proc implemented in proc_cgroupstats_show().  Let's
shorten its name and make it an atomic_t so that we don't have to
worry about its synchronization.  It's purely auxiliary at this point.

[PATCH 8/8] cgroup: remove cgroupfs_root->refcnt

[Tejun Heo]

Currently, cgroupfs_root and its ->top_cgroup are separated reference
counted and the latter's is ignored.  There's no reason to do this
separately.  This patch removes cgroupfs_root->refcnt and destroys
cgroupfs_root when the top_cgroup is released.

* cgroup_put() updated to ignore cgroup_is_dead() test for top
  cgroups.  cgroup_free_fn() updated to handle root destruction when
  releasing a top cgroup.

* As root destruction is now bounced through cgroup destruction, it is
  asynchronous.  Update cgroup_mount() so that it waits for pending
  release which is currently implemented using msleep().  Converting
  this to proper wait_queue isn't hard but likely unnecessary.

[PATCH v3 6/8] cgroup: remove cgroup->name

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection.  Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends.  Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.

* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
  of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
  pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.

* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().

* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics.  Users
  which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
  to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
  quite a bit.  As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
  around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
  removed.

v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal.

v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and
    pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs
    functions with NULL kn leading to oops.  Test for NULL kn and
    print "/" if so.

The caller won't check the return value but pass it to printk/seq_printf,
but now cgroup_path() might return -ENAMETOOLONG..

cgroup_path() returns NULL on overflow which printk handles fine, no?

Thanks.

Ah, right. My mistake. I didn't take an afternoon nap, and was a bit sleeply.

[PATCH 6/8] cgroup: remove cgroup->name

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup->name handling became quite complicated over time involving
dedicated struct cgroup_name for RCU protection.  Now that cgroup is
on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and
friends.  Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs
name/path constructs.

* Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top
  of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes.
  pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added.

* cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename().

* All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics.  Users
  which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted
  to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things
  quite a bit.  As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock
  around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are
  removed.
