[PATCH 1/6] Generic container system abstracted from cpusets code

[-- Attachment #1: container.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 57484 bytes --]

This patch creates a generic process container system based on (and
parallel top) the cpusets code. At a coarse level it was created by
copying kernel/cpuset.c, doing s/cpuset/container/g, and stripping out any
code that was cpuset-specific rather than applicable to any process
container subsystem.

+ * We have two global container mutexes below. They can nest.
+ * It is ok to first take manage_mutex, then nest callback_mutex. We also
+ * require taking task_lock() when dereferencing a tasks container pointer.
+ * See "The task_lock() exception", at the end of this comment.
+ *
+ * A task must hold both mutexes to modify containers. If a task
+ * holds manage_mutex, then it blocks others wanting that mutex,
+ * ensuring that it is the only task able to also acquire callback_mutex
+ * and be able to modify containers. It can perform various checks on
+ * the container structure first, knowing nothing will change. It can
+ * also allocate memory while just holding manage_mutex. While it is
+ * performing these checks, various callback routines can briefly
+ * acquire callback_mutex to query containers. Once it is ready to make
+ * the changes, it takes callback_mutex, blocking everyone else.
+ *
+ * Calls to the kernel memory allocator can not be made while holding
+ * callback_mutex, as that would risk double tripping on callback_mutex
+ * from one of the callbacks into the container code from within
+ * __alloc_pages().
+ *
+ * If a task is only holding callback_mutex, then it has read-only
+ * access to containers.
+ *
+ * The task_struct fields mems_allowed and mems_generation may only
+ * be accessed in the context of that task, so require no locks.
+ *
+ * Any task can increment and decrement the count field without lock.
+ * So in general, code holding manage_mutex or callback_mutex can't rely
+ * on the count field not changing. However, if the count goes to
+ * zero, then only attach_task(), which holds both mutexes, can
+ * increment it again. Because a count of zero means that no tasks
+ * are currently attached, therefore there is no way a task attached
+ * to that container can fork (the other way to increment the count).
+ * So code holding manage_mutex or callback_mutex can safely assume that
+ * if the count is zero, it will stay zero. Similarly, if a task
+ * holds manage_mutex or callback_mutex on a container with zero count, it
+ * knows that the container won't be removed, as container_rmdir() needs
+ * both of those mutexes.
+ *
+ * The container_common_file_write handler for operations that modify
+ * the container hierarchy holds manage_mutex across the entire operation,
+ * single threading all such container modifications across the system.
+ *
+ * The container_common_file_read() handlers only hold callback_mutex across
+ * small pieces of code, such as when reading out possibly multi-word
+ * cpumasks and nodemasks.
+ *
+ * The fork and exit callbacks container_fork() and container_exit(), don't
+ * (usually) take either mutex. These are the two most performance
+ * critical pieces of code here. The exception occurs on container_exit(),
+ * when a task in a notify_on_release container exits. Then manage_mutex
+ * is taken, and if the container count is zero, a usermode call made
+ * to /sbin/container_release_agent with the name of the container (path
+ * relative to the root of container file system) as the argument.
+ *
+ * A container can only be deleted if both its 'count' of using tasks
+ * is zero, and its list of 'children' containers is empty. Since all
+ * tasks in the system use _some_ container, and since there is always at
+ * least one task in the system (init, pid == 1), therefore, top_container
+ * always has either children containers and/or using tasks. So we don't
+ * need a special hack to ensure that top_container cannot be deleted.
+ *
+ * The above "Tale of Two Semaphores" would be complete, but for:
+ *
+ * The task_lock() exception
+ *
+ * The need for this exception arises from the action of attach_task(),
+ * which overwrites one tasks container pointer with another. It does
+ * so using both mutexes, however there are several performance
+ * critical places that need to reference task->container without the
+ * expense of grabbing a system global mutex. Therefore except as
+ * noted below, when dereferencing or, as in attach_task(), modifying
+ * a tasks container pointer we use task_lock(), which acts on a spinlock
+ * (task->alloc_lock) already in the task_struct routinely used for
+ * such matters.
+ *
+ * P.S. One more locking exception. RCU is used to guard the
+ * update of a tasks container pointer by attach_task() and the
+ * access of task->container->mems_generation via that pointer in
+ * the routine container_update_task_memory_state().

+ * This could impact scaling on very large systems. Be reluctant to
+ * use notify_on_release containers where very high task exit scaling
+ * is required on large systems.
+ *
+ * Don't even think about derefencing 'cont' after the container use count
+ * goes to zero, except inside a critical section guarded by manage_mutex
+ * or callback_mutex. Otherwise a zero container use count is a license to
+ * any other task to nuke the container immediately, via container_rmdir().
+ *
+ * This routine has to take manage_mutex, not callback_mutex, because
+ * it is holding that mutex while calling check_for_release(),
+ * which calls kmalloc(), so can't be called holding callback_mutex().
+ *
+ * We don't need to task_lock() this reference to tsk->container,
+ * because tsk is already marked PF_EXITING, so attach_task() won't
+ * mess with it, or task is a failed fork, never visible to attach_task.
+ *
+ * the_top_container_hack:
+ *
+ * Set the exiting tasks container to the root container (top_container).
+ *
+ * Don't leave a task unable to allocate memory, as that is an
+ * accident waiting to happen should someone add a callout in
+ * do_exit() after the container_exit() call that might allocate.
+ * If a task tries to allocate memory with an invalid container,
+ * it will oops in container_update_task_memory_state().
+ *
+ * We call container_exit() while the task is still competent to
+ * handle notify_on_release(), then leave the task attached to
+ * the root container (top_container) for the remainder of its exit.
+ *
+ * To do this properly, we would increment the reference count on
+ * top_container, and near the very end of the kernel/exit.c do_exit()
+ * code we would add a second container function call, to drop that
+ * reference. This would just create an unnecessary hot spot on
+ * the top_container reference count, to no avail.
+ *
+ * Normally, holding a reference to a container without bumping its
+ * count is unsafe. The container could go away, or someone could
+ * attach us to a different container, decrementing the count on
+ * the first container that we never incremented. But in this case,
+ * top_container isn't going away, and either task has PF_EXITING set,
+ * which wards off any attach_task() attempts, or task is a failed
+ * fork, never visible to attach_task.
+ *
+ * Another way to do this would be to set the container pointer
+ * to NULL here, and check in container_update_task_memory_state()
+ * for a NULL pointer. This hack avoids that NULL check, for no
+ * cost (other than this way too long comment ;).

+1. Containers
+==========
+
+1.1 What are containers ?
+----------------------
+
+Containers provide a mechanism for aggregating sets of tasks, and all
+their children, into hierarchical groups.
+
+Each task has a pointer to a container. Multiple tasks may reference
+the same container. User level code may create and destroy containers
+by name in the container virtual file system, specify and query to
+which container a task is assigned, and list the task pids assigned to
+a container.
+
+On their own, the only use for containers is for simple job
+tracking. The intention is that other subsystems, such as cpusets (see
+Documentation/cpusets.txt) hook into the generic container support to
+provide new attributes for containers, such as accounting/limiting the
+resources which processes in a container can access.
+
+1.2 Why are containers needed ?
+----------------------------
+
+There are multiple efforts to provide process aggregations in the
+Linux kernel, mainly for resource tracking purposes. Such efforts
+include cpusets, CKRM/ResGroups, and UserBeanCounters. These all
+require the basic notion of a grouping of processes, with newly forked
+processes ending in the same group (container) as their parent
+process.
+
+The kernel container patch provides the minimum essential kernel
+mechanisms required to efficiently implement such groups. It has
+minimal impact on the system fast paths, and provides hooks for
+specific subsystems such as cpusets to provide additional behaviour as
+desired.
+
+
+1.3 How are containers implemented ?
+---------------------------------
+
+Containers extends the kernel as follows:
+
+ - Each task in the system is attached to a container, via a pointer
+ in the task structure to a reference counted container structure.
+ - The hierarchy of containers can be mounted at /dev/container (or
+ elsewhere), for browsing and manipulation from user space.
+ - You can list all the tasks (by pid) attached to any container.
+
+The implementation of containers requires a few, simple hooks
+into the rest of the kernel, none in performance critical paths:
+
+ - in init/main.c, to initialize the root container at system boot.
+ - in fork and exit, to attach and detach a task from its container.
+
+In addition a new file system, of type "container" may be mounted,
+typically at /dev/container, to enable browsing and modifying the containers
+presently known to the kernel. No new system calls are added for
+containers - all support for querying and modifying containers is via
+this container file system.
+
+Each task under /proc has an added file named 'container', displaying
+the container name, as the path relative to the root of the container file
+system.
+
+Each container is represented by a directory in the container file system
+containing the following files describing that container:
+
+ - tasks: list of tasks (by pid) attached to that container
+ - notify_on_release flag: run /sbin/container_release_agent on exit?
+
+Other subsystems such as cpusets may add additional files in each
+container dir
+
+New containers are created using the mkdir system call or shell
+command. The properties of a container, such as its flags, are
+modified by writing to the appropriate file in that containers
+directory, as listed above.
+
+The named hierarchical structure of nested containers allows partitioning
+a large system into nested, dynamically changeable, "soft-partitions".
+
+The attachment of each task, automatically inherited at fork by any
+children of that task, to a container allows organizing the work load
+on a system into related sets of tasks. A task may be re-attached to
+any other container, if allowed by the permissions on the necessary
+container file system directories.
+
+The use of a Linux virtual file system (vfs) to represent the
+container hierarchy provides for a familiar permission and name space
+for containers, with a minimum of additional kernel code.
+
+1.4 What does notify_on_release do ?
+------------------------------------
+
+If the notify_on_release flag is enabled (1) in a container, then whenever
+the last task in the container leaves (exits or attaches to some other
+container) and the last child container of that container is removed, then
+the kernel runs the command /sbin/container_release_agent, supplying the
+pathname (relative to the mount point of the container file system) of the
+abandoned container. This enables automatic removal of abandoned containers.
+The default value of notify_on_release in the root container at system
+boot is disabled (0). The default value of other containers at creation
+is the current value of their parents notify_on_release setting.
+
+1.5 How do I use containers ?
+--------------------------
+
+To start a new job that is to be contained within a container, the steps are:
+
+ 1) mkdir /dev/container
+ 2) mount -t container container /dev/container
+ 3) Create the new container by doing mkdir's and write's (or echo's) in
+ the /dev/container virtual file system.
+ 4) Start a task that will be the "founding father" of the new job.
+ 5) Attach that task to the new container by writing its pid to the
+ /dev/container tasks file for that container.
+ 6) fork, exec or clone the job tasks from this founding father task.
+
+For example, the following sequence of commands will setup a container
+named "Charlie", containing just CPUs 2 and 3, and Memory Node 1,
+and then start a subshell 'sh' in that container:
+
+ mount -t container none /dev/container
+ cd /dev/container
+ mkdir Charlie
+ cd Charlie
+ /bin/echo $$ > tasks
+ sh
+ # The subshell 'sh' is now running in container Charlie
+ # The next line should display '/Charlie'
+ cat /proc/self/container
+
+In the future, a C library interface to containers will likely be
+available. For now, the only way to query or modify containers is
+via the container file system, using the various cd, mkdir, echo, cat,
+rmdir commands from the shell, or their equivalent from C.
+
+2. Usage Examples and Syntax
+============================
+
+2.1 Basic Usage
+---------------
+
+Creating, modifying, using the containers can be done through the container
+virtual filesystem.
+
+To mount it, type:
+# mount -t container none /dev/container
+
+Then under /dev/container you can find a tree that corresponds to the
+tree of the containers in the system. For instance, /dev/container
+is the container that holds the whole system.
+
+If you want to create a new container under /dev/container:
+# cd /dev/container
+# mkdir my_container
+
+Now you want to do something with this container.
+# cd my_container
+
+In this directory you can find several files:
+# ls
+notify_on_release tasks
+
+Now attach your shell to this container:
+# /bin/echo $$ > tasks
+
+You can also create containers inside your container by using mkdir in this
+directory.
+# mkdir my_sub_cs
+
+To remove a container, just use rmdir:
+# rmdir my_sub_cs
+This will fail if the container is in use (has containers inside, or has
+processes attached).
+
+2.2 Attaching processes
+-----------------------
+
+# /bin/echo PID > tasks
+
+Note that it is PID, not PIDs. You can only attach ONE task at a time.
+If you have several tasks to attach, you have to do it one after another:
+
+# /bin/echo PID1 > tasks
+# /bin/echo PID2 > tasks
+ ...
+# /bin/echo PIDn > tasks
+
+
+3. Questions
+============
+
+Q: what's up with this '/bin/echo' ?
+A: bash's builtin 'echo' command does not check calls to write() against
+ errors. If you use it in the container file system, you won't be
+ able to tell whether a command succeeded or failed.
+
+Q: When I attach processes, only the first of the line gets really attached !
+A: We can only return one error code per call to write(). So you should also
+ put only ONE pid.
