[PATCH 0/10] Make bsd process accounting work in pid namespaces

[PATCH 0/10] Make bsd process accounting work in pid namespaces

[Pavel Emelyanov]

After I fixed access to task->tgid in kernel/acct.c, Oleg 
pointed out some bad side effects with this accounting vs pid 
namespaces interaction. I.e. when some task in pid namespace 
sets this accounting up, this blocks all the others from doing 
the same. Restricting this to init namespace only could help, 
but didn't look as a grace solution.

So here is the approach to make this accounting work with pid
namespaces properly.

The idea is simple - when a task dies it accounts itself in 
each namespace it is visible from and which set the accounting 
up. 

For example here are the commands run and the output of lastcomm 
from init and sub namespaces:

init_ns# accton pacct
 sub_ns# accton pacct (this is a different file - sub ns is run in
                       a chroot-ed environment)
init_ns# cat /dev/null
 sub_ns# ls /dev/null
init_ns# accton
 sub_ns# accton

 sub_ns#  lastcomm -f pacct
ls                      0        [136,0]    0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30
accton                  0        [136,0]    0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30

init_ns# lastcomm -f pacct
accton                  root     pts/0      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub
cat                     root     pts/1      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30
ls                      root     pts/0      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub
accton                  root     pts/1      0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30

That was the summary, the details are in patches.

The set was sent for RFC a month ago, but I got only one, but
positive response from Oleg. Hopefully, he can confirm one now.

[PATCH 1/10] Bsdacct: rename acct_blbls to bsd_acct_struct

[Pavel Emelyanov]

It will be visible in pid_namespace.h file, so fix its name to
look better outside the acct.c file.

[PATCH 5/10] Bsdacct: make check timer accept a bsd_acct_struct argument

[Pavel Emelyanov]

We're going to have many bsd_acct_struct instances, not just
one, so the timer (currently working with a global one) has
to know which one to work with.

Use a handy setup_timer macro for it (thanks to Oleg for one).

[PATCH 6/10] Bsdacct: turn the acct_lock from on-the-struct to global

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Don't use per-bsd-acct-struct lock, but work with a global one. 

This lock is taken for short periods, so it doesn't seem it'll
become a bottleneck, but it will allow us to easily avoid many 
locking difficulties in the future.

So this is a mostly s/acct_globals.lock/acct_lock/ over the file.

[PATCH 7/10] Bsdacct: make internal code work with passed bsd_acct_struct, not global

[Pavel Emelyanov]

This adds the appropriate pointer to all the internal (i.e. static)
functions that work with global acct instance. API calls pass a global
instance to them (while we still have such).

Mostly this is a s/acct_globals./acct->/ over the file.

[PATCH 8/10] Bsdacct: switch from global bsd_acct_struct instance to per-pidns one

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Allocate the structure on the first call to sys_acct(). After
this each namespace, that ordered the accounting, will live
with this structure till its own death.

Two notes
- routines, that close the accounting on fs umount time use
  the init_pid_ns's acct by now;
- accounting routine accounts to dying task's namespace
  (also by now).

[PATCH 9/10] Bsdacct: turn acct off for all pidns-s on umount time

[Pavel Emelyanov]

All the bsd_acct_strcts with opened accounting are linked into
a global list. So, the acct_auto_close(_mnt) walks one and drops
the accounting for each.

[PATCH 10/10] Bsdacct: account dying tasks in all relevant namespaces

[Pavel Emelyanov]

This just makes the acct_proces walk the pid namespaces from 
current up to the top and account a task in each with the 
accounting turned on.

ns->parent access if safe lockless, since current it still
alive and holds its namespace, which in turn holds its parent.

Is it really safe to walk this list locklessly?

Oops. I've fixed it once and forgot to re-check after the set.
Will do shortly.

Well, yes - I wrote it in the comment to the 10th patch:

 "ns->parent access if safe lockless, since current it still
  alive and holds its namespace, which in turn holds its parent."

Should I also add this as a comment here?

Thanks,

We still have this silliness in acct_file_reopen():

		spin_unlock(&acct_lock);
		do_acct_process(acct, old_ns, old_acct);
		filp_close(old_acct, NULL);
		spin_lock(&acct_lock);

Was this lock-dropping safe before?

Is it safe now?

To work this out, we'd need to know what acct_lock protects.  What does
acct_lock protect?

Yup :)

It protected the acct_glbls state before this set. This re-lock was OK 
before wrt. acct_glbls members and still such now.

After the set it still does so and (!) also protects the list of those
bsd_acct_struct-s, that have a file opened.

So, as far as the list is concerned. There are two places, that walk this
list under this lock and call acct_file_reopen - the acct_auto_close and the
acct_auto_close_mnt - both perform "goto restart" to start the iteration
from the very beginning, so this re-lock doesn't affect this list integrity.
List modifications (add/del) always happen under this lock.


Thanks,
Pavel

[PATCH 0/10] Make bsd process accounting work in pid namespaces

[Pavel Emelyanov]

After I fixed access to task->tgid in kernel/acct.c, Oleg
pointed out some bad side effects with this accounting vs
pid namespaces interaction.

So here is the approach to make this accounting work with
pid namespaces properly.

The idea is simple - when task dies it accounts itself in
each namespace it is visible from. That was the summary,
the details are in patches.
